Status: Renewed
Seasons: 1
“The Last of Us” is a post-apocalyptic series crafted by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann exclusively for HBO. Drawing inspiration from the 2013 video game by Naughty Dog, the show unfolds two decades into a pandemic spurred by a rampant fungal infection, resulting in its victims morphing into zombie-esque beings and leading to the collapse of society.
At its heart, the series tracks the journey of Joel, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, a seasoned smuggler entrusted with the mission of safeguarding Ellie, an immune teenager embodied by Bella Ramsey, as they navigate the treacherous landscapes of a post-apocalyptic United States.
