HBO has released the first sneak peek into the live-action adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us video game. Back in 2020, the popular cable network announced that it was making a series based on the LGBTQ+ inclusive action-adventure game.
Over the last couple of years, new information and photos regarding the highly anticipated show have slowly been released – including the casting of Game of Thrones stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie.
However on 21 August, fans were finally treated to the first footage from the upcoming series, and it is glorious. At the start of the short teaser, we see Joel and Ellie walking across a snowy bridge in a post-apocalyptic world.
The teaser then switches to a shot of the two sheltered in an abandoned building before Ellie says: “Everybody I’ve cared for has either died or left me.” In response, Joel coldly replies: “You have no idea what loss is.” Towards the end of the teaser, more clips of Ellie and Joel flash across the screen before it shows a shot of a person infected by the mutated Cordyceps fungus.
