Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled to hear that production for The Last of Us Season 2 is set to begin in early 2024. The first season was a massive success, and I can't wait to see what the next chapter in the story will bring. I'm especially excited to see how the show will introduce Abby, a controversial character who plays a significant role in the second game.
While I'm disappointed that we'll have to wait until at least 2025 for the new season to be released, I understand that it takes time to create a high-quality show. I'm confident that the wait will be worth it, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for The Last of Us.
