HBO has finally unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated TV adaptation of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog's beloved video game about finding a family amidst a zombie apocalypse. The new trailer was released as part of Outbreak Day, aka The Last of Us Day, a yearly celebration of the franchise held by developer Naughty Dog.
The new trailer introduces Pedro Pascal as Joel, a middle-aged man who becomes a delivery specialist once a deadly virus almost wipes out humanity. Just as in the original game, the series will follow Joel as he escorts Bella Ramsey's Ellie to a lab where scientists can study her blood. Since Ellie is apparently immune to the virus, her body might be the key to finding a cure and taking back society.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While there are zombie stories aplenty nowadays, The Last of Us won the hearts of millions of fans due to the highly-emotional story it tells. While they work together to stay alive, Joel and Ellie form an unbreakable bond, which increases the stakes of the narrative. The trailer shows how HBO's series adaptation will stick close to the game, with some locations perfectly reproduced for TV.
The first episode of The Last of Us will be directed by Kantemir Balagov. Original game creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin are listed as creators for The Last of Us and will also serve as executive producers.
