Production Underway for The Last of Us Season 3

Production has officially commenced on the third season of HBO’s The Last of Us series. Recent on-set videos and photographs have surfaced, featuring characters Abby (portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever) and Lev (portrayed by Kyriana Kratter).

Filming Location and On-Set Footage

Principal photography is taking place in Vancouver. Some scenes are being shot in publicly accessible areas, prompting bystanders to capture footage using their smartphones. One video shows Abby walking across a rooftop while holding a long rifle, surrounded by crew members. Lev appears wielding a bow and arrow. Additional close-up stills of both actors were also captured on set.

Casting and Representation Considerations

As established in the original game, Lev will be portrayed in the series as a 13-year-old transgender boy. Actor Kyriana Kratter—who is 15 years old and previously gained acclaim as KB in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew—is understood to be cisgender. This casting choice has sparked ongoing discussion and debate within fan and advocacy communities.

Season 3 Narrative Focus and Potential Finality

Season 3 will center on Abby’s story arc, expanding her backstory with the introduction of her father, played by Patrick Wilson. There is growing speculation that this season may serve as the series’ final run of episodes.

Related Game Developments

While the TV series advances, rumors persist about a potential The Last of Us Part III. Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann recently added fuel to these speculations. Separately, Naughty Dog is developing a new intellectual property titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Spoiler Awareness Advisory

With Season 3 now in active production, more images, behind-the-scenes videos, and plot details are expected to surface gradually. Viewers wishing to avoid spoilers should exercise heightened caution when browsing online content.
