A star of “The Last of Us” is shining a light on what’s coming next.

The hit TV series based on the popular video game saga premiered in January 2023 with Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal leading the way.

Season one received critical acclaim and a significant following as viewers watched Ellie and Joel navigate a post-apocalyptic world.

It was a dark and gritty show that saw the protagonists battle the infected and humans.

“The Last of Us” star shares update on season three.

Unfortunately, season two had a noticeable decline in quality. Outside of maybe two episodes, it felt like the show had lost its edge.

The only reason to believe season three might be positive is that the season two finale indicated the show would focus heavily on Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) moving forward.

Now, star Gabriel Luna is pulling back the curtain on what fans can expect.

“This season has been very interesting in the way that a lot of different perspectives shift. Without saying too much, I think folks that were playing the game are aware of that aspect. I just can’t wait for people to see it. We’re shooting it now. I have a little bit of a break,” Luna told Variety in a video shared Tuesday night.

Here’s the basic reality of the situation. “The Last of Us” will have a very small window of opportunity to convince fans to continue sticking around.

The Ellie storyline (Ramsey) got so cringe down the stretch. Abby, who killed Joel in season two, is a far more interesting character, and Kaitlyn Dever is simply a much more captivating actress. She’s come a long way since season two of “Justified.”

Fans are going to punch out quickly if season three doesn’t go all in on Abby as the main focus. Not exactly inspired that’s what will happen, judging from Luna’s comments, but time will tell.
