But the series' exploration of grief and love has been just as emotional as the brutal violence that Ellie was forced to watch, and the season finale doubles down on it all.The finale sees Ellie and Jesse (Young Mazino) head to Seattle to try to find Tommy (Gabriel Luna).

The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann has announced that he is departing the show ahead of Season 3 to focus on his video game projects.

Although he helped build The Last of Us, he chose to step away before the ball got rolling on the third season, allowing him to focus on other projects, but also allowing the show's actual production to proceed unaffected due to his early departure between seasons.
