The Last of Us Season One will be available digitally beginning April 11th before a physical home media release on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on June 18th. The series has been renewed for a second season, though that's been placed on hold until the Writers Guild of America strike is resolved.
"The truth is, I am one person in a union of 9,000," The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin told Variety earlier this year. "I may not agree on everything that the union is looking for, but then again, if you agree on everything that your leaders put forward, you're probably just a robot. Republicans don't agree on everything the Republican Party says. Democrats don't believe everything the Democratic Party says."
He added, "It's really just, in general, are your principles and philosophies aligned? And in this case, my principles and philosophies are aligned with the Writers Guild in the large general way. So we'll see what happens. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm borne by the tide the way everyone else is, just waiting for the companies to stop it. Literally, it's all I keep thinking to myself. They've just gotta stop it. It's on them to make this right."
