One of the best-selling games in recent Playstation history is ‘The last of us‘, a post-apocalyptic story in which nature takes revenge on humans by releasing a deadly virus. It has just released its second installment (which has broken all sales records), and a film adaptation has been rumored for a long time. In fact, Sam Raimi was attached to the project for a long time.
But HBO appeared and the plans changed: now the film became a series, with the creator of chernobyl as showrunner. In this article we will update all the news of this long-awaited adaptation.
‘The Last of Us’ release date
For now there is no set release date. The creators have stated that they would start working on the adaptation of the series once the second installment of the video game had been released, and that day was June 19, 2020.
Filming began on July 5, 2021 and will last until June 8, 2022. A tremendously long production date, which heralds a large investment and, perhaps, the filming of several seasons simultaneously. However, it also tells us that the series will premiere in 2023.
Synopsis for ‘The Last of Us’
It is not yet clear if only the first game or both that have been released will be adapted. But having delayed the pre-production of the project to wait for the release of ‘The Last of Us II’ makes us think that it will be a mixture of both stories with new offshoots and characters. The main story is as follows:
Twenty years after a plague decimated civilization, survivors cling to life in harsh quarantine zones. Outside, ferocious Infected and ruthless human bandits await. For Joel, day to day usually consists of going about his business, but when he is assigned to accompany young Ellie in search of the Fireflies, a resistance group, both will put their will to survive to the limit.
Cast ‘The Last of Us’

Those chosen to give life to Joel and Ellie have been Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, which curiously were part of the great cast of ‘Game of thrones’. In addition, Pascal has become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood at the moment after the success of ‘The Mandalorian’ on Disney+ and the productions ‘Superchildren’ on Netflix and ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ in the DC universe.
On the other hand, the signing of gabriel moon in the role of Tommy, the younger brother of Joel (Pascal), a former soldier who maintains a sense of idealism and hope in a post-apocalyptic world.
