The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO. Based on the 2013 video game developed by Naughty Dog, the series is set in 2023, twenty years into a global pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection, which forces its hosts to transform into zombie-like creatures and collapses society. The series follows Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting the teenage Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across the post-apocalyptic United States.
The show has been universally lauded as one of if not the best video game adaptation of all time. Some are saying the HBO adaptation is so good that they can only imagine how awesome the Halo TV series would have been if the writers stuck to the source material. The Last of Us was filmed throughout Alberta from July 2021 to June 2022. It is the first HBO series based on a video game.
The Last of Us is one of Sony’s best-selling video game franchises with over 37 million copies sold across both the first game and the sequel. The Last of Us franchise is actually more popular than Insomniac’s Spider-Man duology of games on PS4 and PS5.
