arrived on HBO . Things are well underway with the second season, and we've known for a while that it won't premiere until 2025. We still don't know exactly when to expect it , but we do now know that season two will only have seven episodes., showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann confirmed the shorter season.

That said, Mazin said that season three will likely be"significantly larger" — we don't know if that's from a scope perspective or running time perspective, but it's an interesting thing to broadcast given that we're still six months minimum away from season two premiering. Andalso confirmed that season two will have at least one extra-long episode, much like the 90-minute series premiere and the 70-plus minute episode focused on Bill and Frank in season one.

, but it even sounds like the story could spin into a forth season."We feel like it’s almost assuredly going to be the case that — as long as people keep watching and we can keep making more television — Season 3 will be significantly larger. And indeed, the story may require Season 4," Mazin said., with lots of flashbacks and multiple points of view, stretching it over three seasons seems like a bit much.

Druckmann did confirm that the show won't go beyond the what has been portrayed in the video games, unlike the HBOseries infamously moving beyond the novels it was based on ."As a fan, I’m thrilled that there might be a thirdgame," Mazin said."As the co-creator of this television show, there’s no world where I would want our show to go beyond the source material that people have in the world.
