Here's a sneak peek at HBO's live-action 'The Last Of Us' series
You know, Ellie, we really are a video game adaptation.
HBO’s The Last Of Us series has been in production for quite a while, and we finally got a chance to see it on Sunday. Specifically, what actors Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will look like as Joel and Ellie, respectively.
During Last Of Us Day, an annual event where developer Naughty Dog recognizes fans of its hits video game series, a picture from HBO’s adaptation surfaced. Pedro Pascal, star of the series, shared a photo of himself and Bella Ramsey in character to mark the occasion — and it sure looks like The Last Of Us. Even if there’s not much to go off of cause both actors have their backs to the camera. But still!
Check out the photo for yourself below.

Video game adaptations have a nasty habit of turning out, well, quite awful. However, HBO’s The Last Of Us series has quite a few names attached to ensure it turns out well. Namely Neil Druckman, Naughty Dog’s co-president, writer, and creative director on The Last Of Us and The Last Of Us: Part II. Druckman is a writer and executive producer on the HBO series, along with Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin. So if nothing else, there are loads of talented people working on this!
