HBO and Naughty Dog gaming studio have come together to pick up “The Last of Us” for a TV series, making it the first time the 2013 video game will be adapted into a live-action property. Joel and Ellie are the main characters who start a journey across the post-apocalyptic United States and fight for survival. Here is everything you need to know about The Last of Us HBO TV series release date, trailer, plot, cast, and PlayStation game connection.
The Last of Us TV Series Trailer and Release Date
The Last of Us TV series production won’t start until the recent game sequel is launched by Naughty Dog. The Last of Us 2 release date is May 29 and once the work is done, the gaming studio will collaborate to create the TV show. Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl series creator Craig Mazin will work together to develop the action-adventure “The Last of Us” TV series.
The show will be produced by HBO, Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions. The Last of Us series scriptwriting process will start after Druckmann finishes the game sequel. Ever since Netflix’s “The Witcher” series was a huge success, video games to show adaptations are becoming the new trend. The Last of Us HBO series could come out in late 2021 or even 2022 with a trailer released around 6 months before the premiere.
