The dust has settled on season 6 of The Last of Us series, and fans are now speculating about what’s next. Catherine O’Hara, who plays therapist Gail, recently sat down with Variety to discuss her role. When asked if she’d return for future seasons, she gave a straightforward answer: “I don’t know. Craig Mazin said it’s not going to be next season, it’s going to be about Abby.”
Rumor has it that season 3 will shift the focus to Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever. This makes sense, given Abby’s relatively minor role so far. It’s about time her character took center stage, with Ellie playing a supporting role.
O’Hara thinks season 3 might have more episodes and a longer runtime due to the storytelling style. The death of Joel’s character has had a significant impact on the narrative, making it harder to tell the story and limiting opportunities for subplots like the one with Bill and Frank in season 1.
What to Expect from Season 3
With season 3 confirmed, fans can look forward to a new chapter in the series. The current season will conclude with episode 7 on Monday, giving viewers a chance to catch up or binge-watch the entire season.
Some key points to consider:
- Season 3 will likely focus on Abby’s character, played by Kaitlyn Dever.
- The death of Joel’s character has changed the narrative, making it harder to tell the story.
- Catherine O’Hara’s character, Gail, may not return in future seasons.
As the series continues to unfold, fans will have to wait and see how the story develops. One thing is certain, though: The Last of Us series has captivated audiences, and its return for season 3 is highly anticipated.
