“It’s not going to air in 2022 — they are still shooting in Canada. I imagine you will see it in ’23,” he told Deadline.

Well, that’s the situation at the moment and there’s nothing one can do, except wait.

As soon as the news broke out on the internet, disappointed fans came out on Twitter to express their frustration.

One user even compared the show with Game of Thrones, HBO’s celebrated series, and wrote:

“Damn, that’s worse than waiting for GoT.”

The Last of Us, based on director Neil Druckmann’s fictional gaming universe, will release at some point in 2023.
