Also featured in this critically acclaimed series are Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Merle Dandridge, Storm Reid, Rutina Wesley, Lamar Johnson, Melanie Lynskey, Murray Bartlett, and Nick Offerman, who won the 2023 Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, for the moving episode entitled, "Long, Long Time."

The Last of Us series, written and executive produced by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann of The Last of Us and Uncharted video game franchises, was executive produced by Carolyn Strauss, Evan Wells from the original game’s developer Naughty Dog, and PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan.
