HBO on Monday pulled the creepy curtain back on The Last of Us, its upcoming series adaptation of the wildly popular, post-apocalyptic video game, with the release of the first official trailer(watch above).
Set two decades after the implosion of current-day society, The Last of Us will follow Joel (The Mandalorian‘s Pedro Pascal), a tough survivor, who is hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl named Ellie (Game of Thrones‘ Bella Ramsey) out of an “oppressive” quarantine zone, per the official synopsis. “What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse” across a U.S. ravaged by a lethal disease called the Cordyceps fungus “and depend on each other for survival.”
The cast also includes Anna Torv (Fringe), Storm Reid (Euphoria), Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Gabriel Luna (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Merle Dandridge (Greenleaf), Nico Parker (The Third Day), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Con O’Neill (Chernobyl), and, as we just learned via the trailer, Melanie Lynskey (here’s the scoop on the Yellowjackets star’s stealth casting).
Neil Druckmann, co-president of Naughty Dog video game studio, serves as co-creator and executive producer alongside Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin. Fellow EPs include Carolyn Strauss, Evan Wells, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan and Rose Lam.
The Last of Us is set to premieres on HBO in 2023

Sounds like something I’d like…
I peeped Melanie Lynskey in this trailer too, great! Looking forward to this adaptation
Can’t wait, loved the first game and looks they doing most of the stuff from the game including the DLC
My most favorite game. Played part 2, part 1, then bought the part 1 for PS5. All are amazing…
This TV shows looks similar with the zombies, but the characters in the game are mostly just ellie and joel. But this TV shows added more prominent characters which I can’t wait..
Yes it’ll be fun to see the world expand a bit.
Can’t wait to experience this story again.
I honestly think this will be the superior way to witness this story. The Clicker looks so good!
It looks phenomenal. True to the world and tone of the game, but with the cinematic flair we expect from HBO productions. I had high expectations but this honestly blew me away.
Loved the first game, hated the second, but as a tv show, I gotta say it looks more like Walking Dead than anything else.
I loved the game (one of the only ones I’ve ever been emotionally involved in not just from a player stance) and I’m pretty happy with the trailer! I thnk it’s a great cast and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with it!
Also love that they seem to have added Ellie’s “backstory” scenes!
