HBO's The Last of Us has hit an unexpected pause in production, sparking curiosity among fans awaiting the third season. According to production listings, filming entered a temporary hiatus on June 1 and is expected to resume on June 28.
The show, being filmed under the working title 'Calm Current' in Vancouver, remains on track to complete production later this year. The pause comes after cameras began rolling in March on the next chapter of HBO's adaptation of Naughty Dog's award-winning video game franchise.
Scheduling decisions may have been impacted by logistical considerations around big international sporting events, especially the World Cup. The Last of Us is still in production despite the delay, with filming anticipated to continue through late November.
The third season is expected to shift its primary focus from Ellie to Abby, the central character portrayed by Kaitlyn Dever. Recent set photographs show Dever filming scenes alongside actor Kyriana Kratter, who plays Lev, a key figure in Abby's storyline.
