adaptation of The last of usclassic PlayStation video game, was one of the most outstanding productions that HBO had to release this 2022. However, it has been confirmed that the series will be delayed and will not arrive this year.
This was confirmed by the head of content for HBO and HBO Max, CaseyBloys, during an interview with the web portal Deadline. The director confirmed that the adaptation is currently filming, so it will be impossible for us to see it finished this year.

Why was the premiere of The last of us delayed?
During the conversation with the media, Bloys hinted that the pandemic was one of the main causes of the delay, so they will still continue filming the last scenes of the series until the middle of the year. That will cause post-production to take several extra months, postponing its release to possibly 2023. “It won’t air in 2022, they’re still shooting in Canada. I imagine you will see it in 2023″, remarked.
His statements do not confirm that the title will arrive next year, but it would seem to be the most logical thing for this adaptation, which will also modify the timeline of the events told in the video game, delaying them 10 years, so if it is released in 2023 , would coincide with the year in which the events in the series take place.
