The series is based on the 2013 post-apocalyptic video game of the same title and stars Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey as Ellie Williams.
"The Last of Us" was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It has taken the world by storm upon its launch.
The series takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone.
However, what starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

The series is also co-written, executive produced and directed by Neil Druckmann, of The Last of Us and Uncharted video game franchises.
