The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series developed by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO. It is based on the 2013 video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog and tells a story set in post-apocalyptic America involving Joel, a smuggler who must accompany an adolescent girl named Ellie across much of that country. The series stars Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie.

The series occurs twenty years after a cordyceps fungus mutation has turned most of humanity into infected creatures. A veteran smuggler, Joel is recruited by a group of survivors to get Ellie (a 14-year-old girl who resists the infection) and smuggle her elsewhere. Meanwhile, work on an antidote for outbreak victims called Fireflies has begun secretly in another corner of America. During their cross-country travels together, Joel and Ellie became father and daughter.

They constantly faced attacks by the infected as well as other human survivors who would kill or be killed to survive. All angles of The Last of Us, from the shooting to acting, direction, and production values, are respectful toward the material. Due to the show’s widespread acclaim, it has been picked for a second season.
