FULL STORY ======================================================================

Weve finally been given a better look at HBOs highly-anticipated The Last of Us TV series.

Speaking at Summer Game Fest 2022 , the shows co-creator and executive producer, Neil Druckmann, shared a new image featuring stars Pedro Pascal ( The Mandalorian ) and Bella Ramsey ( Game of Thrones ) in action as lead characters Joel and Ellie.

The photo marks only the second official The Last of Us TV show image to be released thus far, after HBO shared a slightly less revealing teaser for the series in September last year.

You can check out the new shot via a tweet from Druckmanns Twitter account below, in which the writer also praised his co-executive producer on the upcoming show, Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin: Stoked to share this preview of @PedroPascal1 and @BellaRamsey as the live action Joel and Ellie It's been an honor to collaborate with @clmazin on #TheLastofUs coming soon to @HBO

Based on Naughty Dogs acclaimed video game series of the same name, The Last of Us TV show will chronicle the journey of wanderers Joel and Ellie as they try to survive in a post-apocalyptic America overrun by the zombie-like Infected.

Judging by official information and images shared so far, the HBO Max series will loosely mirror the plot of the first The Last of Us game which came out all the way back in 2013 on PS3 though Druckmann has confirmed that some episodes will deviate greatly from the source material, in terms of their focus on drama over hardcore action.

We do, however, know that actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson who voiced Joel and Ellie, respectively, in Naughty Dogs original game will be
appearing in The Last of Us TV show. The pair took to the stage at Summer
Game Fest 2022 to confirm their involvement, but didnt shed any light on the characters theyll be playing.

As for when The Last of Us TV show will be released, the jury is still out. Early reports had suggested that the series could be arriving later this year (star Bella Ramsey even took to Instagram in January to tease a 2022 date), though HBOs Chief Content Officer, Casey Bloys, recently revealed that it
wont be hitting screens until 2023 at the very earliest.

According to the Directors Guild of Canada , principal photography on The
Last of Us TV show is due to end in June so theres a chance we could at
least be treated to a teaser trailer in the coming months. A peek behind the curtain

As mentioned, the latest image from The Last of Us TV show marks only the second official look at the HBO Max series released to the public thus far but there are plenty more behind the scenes set photos out in the wild.

Given the popularity of Naughty Dogs video game franchise, its no wonder that fans have created a slew of social media accounts dedicated to sharing news and rumors surrounding the show, and many of these forums regularly re-post images of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in costume as Joel and Ellie.

Thankfully, The Last of Us TV show looks like itll be remaining largely faithful to its era-defining source material, and with a reported series budget of over $155 million dollars, were excited to see how HBO plans on bringing the harrowing story of Joel and Ellie to life even if well have to wait until 2023.
