On September 26 in The Last of Us’ universe, the cordyceps brain infection had its first massive outbreak, plunging humanity into an apocalyptic, infected wasteland. On September 26 in our universe, we finally got the trailer for The Last of Us TV adaptation.
Based on the incredible video game written by Neil Druckmann, The Last of Us follows two lone survivors, Joel and Ellie (Game of Thrones' stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey), as they navigate a disease-infested earth, riddled with flesh-hungry, human-turned-monsters (aka zombie vibes), in a gripping fight for survival.
The Last of Us trailer features a whirlwind of electrifying action and copious easter eggs for all you gamers out there. And for the first time in forever, there seems to be a glimmer of hope in the “video game becomes a TV show” pipeline.
From found family to killer fight montages, The Last of Us is an emotional rollercoaster to play, let alone watch. Here’s to hoping Joel still gets to be the ultimate DILF in the adaptation.
The Last of Us is premiering on HBO Max in 2023.
