Before The Last Of Us officially wrapped, the show was widely speculated to air before the end of 2022. So this new update provides a slightly narrower release window. The show hasn’t received much attention in recent months.
But with the recent confirmation that Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, two of the original game’s stars, will play parts in the upcoming adaptation, it seems like there may be some surprises worth the wait in store.
