Bella Ramsey Tells Detractors They Don’t Have to Watch The Last of Us Season 3

The actor’s remark follows sustained backlash to Season 2 during HBO’s development of a third season led by Craig Mazin.

Overview

  • Ramsey said on The Awardist podcast that they avoid engaging with criticism because the released episodes cannot be changed.
  • They advised unhappy viewers to skip the show and replay the video game if they prefer that version of the story.
  • Reports on Season 2’s reception cite review‑bombing and homophobic comments directed at the series and its cast.
  • Season 3 is in development with no premiere date announced, as Craig Mazin continues as sole showrunner following Neil Druckmann’s step‑back to focus on Naughty Dog.
  • Mazin has indicated the next season will shift focus to Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby, while trade coverage noted the Season 2 finale drew a reported 56% lower audience than Season 1.
