The Last of Us HBO

The Last of Us is an upcoming HBO Series based on the highly successful video game of the same name.

The series will be created by the game’s director, Neil Druckmann, alongside Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and will feature Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal as the series’ protagonists Ellie and Joel.

Set in 2023, in a post-apocalyptic world, The Last of Us will see Ellie and Joel navigate and survive a world inhabited by “Infected”. The infected are humans who have succumbed to the Cordyceps fungus, a parasitic fungus which takes over the mind of its host.

Once infected with the cordyceps, humans become violent and aggressive towards other living creatures.

It debuted on HBO on January 15, 2023. The third episode was lauded by critics as one of the greatest episodes of TV of all time.

The show has followed the game’s storyline faithfully, only deviating to add context to what was already known.
