HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us is set to premiere in the new year, and the latest poster for the series gives us a better look at the crumbling world our characters will be travelling through.
Taking place 20 years after modern civilisation has been destroyed, The Last of Us will follow Joel, a hardened survivor, who is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. But what starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey as the pair are forced to traverse across the U.S., depending on each other for survival.
Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) star as Joel and Ellie in the series, which is being developed by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl). The cast also includes Gabriel Luna, Storm Reid, Anna Torv, Jeffrey Pierce, Nick Offerman, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Troy Baker, and Ashley Johnson.
The Last of Us debuts on HBO Max on January 15th, 2023.
