The Last Of Us

15 January 2023

The Sony Pictures TV show adaptation of Naughty Dog’s multiple award-winning game series sees The Mandolorian’s Pedro Pascal and Games of Thrones’s Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ella in a post-apocalyptic world of zombies and often-heartbreaking decisions to keep surviving. Good news is the original game writer and director Neil Druckmann is on board as a writer for the show. As is the original score composer Gustavo Santaolalla. So we can all have pretty high hopes for The Last of Us TV series.
