The Last of Us: new info on the HBO series and the release date

If we already knew that the series The Last of Us would be broadcast in 2023, we still did not know when exactly. Being careful not to communicate a precise date, Kantemir Balagov, the director of the pilot, told Holod Media that the very first episode would be unveiled at the beginning of next year. “The Last of Us holds a special place in my heart, which explains why this project is important to me, especially since it is my first experience in the world of television series, he underlined. Filming is underway, and I don't think the show should arrive until early next year."



No doubt to reassure fans, Neil Druckmann is involved in the project as an executive producer, as is Craig Mazin, the director of the fabulous Chernobyl series. The two acolytes are also responsible for the script, which bodes well. Moreover, the story will cover that of the game released in 2013. As for Joel and Ellie, they will be played respectively by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Finally, even if the Infected will have their say, last year, Neil Druckmann had indicated that the emphasis had been placed on the characters. "HBO has been great in allowing us to take a bit of a break from the hardcore action and focus on the characters. Some of my favorite episodes are way off the original story and I can't wait for people to see it all" , he had assured.

For the record, a remake of The Last of Us on PS5 has been fueling rumors for some time now, and the rumors seem to be getting more and more precise even if neither Naughty Dog nor Sony Interactive Entertainment has formalized anything. it would be.
