HBO has made the official announcement this morning that “The Last of Us” will premiere on January 15, 2023 on HBO Max, confirming yesterday’s early leak of the premiere date.
The announcement comes with a brand new poster, which you’ll find below.
Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) is developing the series for HBO, and worked directly alongside Neil Druckmann to write and executive produce the small screen adaptation.
“The series takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.”
Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) is starring in the series as Joel and Bella Ramsey (“Game of Thrones”) is playing Ellie. Gabriel Luna (Terminator: Dark Fate) is playing Tommy, the brother of Pascal’s Joel. Storm Reid, Anna Torv, Jeffrey Pierce, Nick Offerman, Merle Dandridge, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett and Con O’Neil will also star in the series.
Video game actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson will have roles in the HBO series.
Kantemir Balagov (Beanpole) will be directing the pilot episode of HBO’s “The Last of Us” series, with Jasmila Žbanić (Quo vadis, Aida) and Ali Abbasi (Border) also directing episodes.
