When it comes to popular video game adaptations, few shows or movies have picked up as much steam in recent years as The Last of Us. Based on the popular game series developed by Naughty Dog, the same studio behind the Uncharted games, The Last of Us released its first game back in 2013, and it followed with a sequel seven years later in 2020. Both games received widespread critical acclaim and several Game of the Year awards, and the show was turned into a TV show only a few years after The Last of Us Part II over on HBO. HBO recruited Pedro Pascal to play Joel in The Last of Us and Bella Ramsey to play Ellie — both actors have received Emmy nods for their performances in each of the first two seasons.
The Last of Us Part II was extremely divisive upon its release, particularly for its killing off of the main character, Joel Miller, much earlier in the game than fans expected. This did allow Ellie to step into the lead role in Part II, but fans are still not ready to say goodbye to Joel. And, thanks to a new release courtesy of Prime 1 Studio coming next year, they don’t have to. Joel Miller is officially returning in 2027 via a Real Elite Masterline collectible statue from Prime 1, but the limited edition release is only getting 350 units total. It also runs at a retail price of $1,399.00, making it one of the more expensive collectibles on the market. The Joel Miller Real Elite Masterline statue is almost indiscernible from Joel’s appearance in The Last of Us Part I, though, and a must-have for die-hard TLOU fans.
When Does ‘The Last of Us’ Season 3 Come Out?
HBO has not yet set a release date for The Last of Us Season 3, but it has been confirmed that it will be the final season of the show. This is not at all surprising and a very natural progression, especially considering how the first two seasons have adapted the events of the game. The first season of The Last of Us adapted the entirety of The Last of Us Part I, and Season 2 focused on Ellie’s perspective in The Last of Us Part II. This only leaves Abby’s perspective in The Last of Us Season 3 before the show comes to a close.
Check out the first two seasons of The Last of Us on HBO Max and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the franchise.
