The Last of Us is an upcoming American television series that is set to air on HBO. Based on the 2013 video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog, the series will follow Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting the teenage Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic United States. It will also feature Tommy (Gabriel Luna), Joel's younger brother and a former soldier.

The series, said to be the largest television production in Canadian history, began filming in Calgary, Alberta in July 2021 and is expected to end in June 2022. It is the first HBO series to be based on a video game, and is a joint production by Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, Naughty Dog, The Mighty Mint, and Word Games. The first season will consist of ten episodes written by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann; the latter wrote and directed the game. Original game composer Gustavo Santaolalla will compose the score, and Kantemir Balagov will direct the pilot episode. The first season is expected to debut in 2022.

  • Pedro Pascal as Joel, a hardened survivor who is tormented by the trauma of his past. Joel is tasked with smuggling a young girl out of a quarantine zone, and eventually across the United States. Pascal became available for a new series after the release of the second season of The Mandalorian; the vacancy attracted several offers from large networks, of which he chose The Last of Us.[1] Pascal is reportedly earning $600,000 per episode, making him one of the highest paid American television stars.[2] In the video games, Joel is portrayed by Troy Baker.[3]
  • Bella Ramsey as Ellie, a 14-year-old girl who displays defiance and anger but has a private need for kinship and belonging. She is immune to the Cordyceps brain infection and may be the key to creating a vaccine.[4] In keeping with the games, the character is gay.[5] In the video games, Ellie is played by Ashley Johnson.[3]
  • Gabriel Luna as Tommy, Joel's younger brother and a former soldier who maintains idealism in his hope for a better world.[6] In the video games, Tommy is played by Jeffrey Pierce.[7] Luna was given a PlayStation 5 during production to play the games as research for the role.[8]

Recurring[]

  • Merle Dandridge as Marlene, the head of the Fireflies, a resistance movement hoping to gain freedom from the military. Dandridge reprises her role from the video games.[9]
  • Jeffrey Pierce as Perry, a rebel in a quarantine zone. Pierce previously portrayed Tommy in the video games.[10] Perry is an original character in the show who, according to Pierce, "has huge implications for things that did occur in the game".[11]
  • Anna Torv as Tess, a hardened survivor and Joel's smuggler partner.[12] In the first game, Tess is played by Annie Wersching.[13]

Guest[]

  • Nico Parker as Sarah, Joel's daughter.[14] In the first game, Sarah is played by Hana Hayes.[15]
  • Murray Bartlett as Frank, a survivalist living in an isolated town with Bill.[10] Frank is seen briefly in the first game, but has no dialogue.[16]
  • Con O'Neill as Bill, a survivalist who lives with Frank.[10] In the first game, Bill is played by W. Earl Brown.[10]

Other characters from the games who will appear include Riley and Maria.[17] It will also feature Clickers, a class of creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus.[18]

After the release of Naughty Dog's video game The Last of Us in 2013, two film adaptations were attempted: a feature film written by the game's writer and creative director Neil Druckmann and produced by Sam Raimi entered development hell,[19] and an animated short film adaptation by Oddfellows was canceled by Sony.[20] In March 2020, a television adaptation was announced in the planning stages at HBO, expected to cover events of this game and possibly some parts of its sequel, The Last of Us Part II (2020). Alongside Druckmann, Craig Mazin was named to help write and executive produce the series, while television producer Carolyn Strauss and Naughty Dog president Evan Wells were announced as additional executive producers.[21] Gustavo Santaolalla, who composed the music for the two games and The Last of Us: Left Behind (2014), will compose the score for the television series.[22] The show was announced as a joint production of Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, and Naughty Dog;[23] it is the first show produced by PlayStation Productions.[21][24] The show is produced under the company name Bear and Pear Productions.[25][26][27]

Johan Renck was announced as an executive producer and the director of the pilot episode in June 2020;[28] by November 2020, he had dropped out due to scheduling conflicts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[29][30] HBO greenlit the series on November 20, 2020. PlayStation Productions's Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan were named executive producers, and Word Games was added as a production company.[23] In January 2021, The Mighty Mint joined production, and Kantemir Balagov was announced as the pilot episode's director.[31] According to Balagov's professional partner Alexander Rodnyansky, the director has been interested in adapting the game for several years. Rodnyansky claimed that Balagov will direct several episodes of the show.[32] Mazin said that Balagov will direct "the first few episodes".[33]

Rose Lam was added as an executive producer in February 2021.[6] Pre-production for the series in Calgary, Alberta began on March 15, 2021, according to the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC);[25] Mazin arrived in Calgary in May.[34] Ali Abbasi and Jasmila Žbanić were announced as additional directors in April 2021.[35] In July 2021, Mazin revealed that the first season will consist of ten episodes and said that two more directors were yet to be announced;[36] according to the DGC, Druckmann, Mazin, and Peter Hoar are also assigned to direct.[37][38] Paul Becker is set to choreograph the series,[39] and Barrie Gower will act as prosthetics designer.[40] Visual effects studio DNEG are also involved with the series.[41]

The Last of Us is said to be the largest television production in Canadian history, expected to generate over CA$200 million in revenue for Alberta.[42][43][44] According to Damian Petti, president of the Canadian artists union IATSE 212, the show's budget exceeds CA$10 million per episode;[44] Alberta premier Jason Kenney was reportedly told that the budget could reach CA$200 million per year.[45] The production team includes five art directors and hundreds of technicians.[44] Rodnyansky said that the show is set to last several seasons,[32] while Kenney claimed that it could last as many as eight;[45] Mazin suggested that a second season is likely if the first is well-received.[46] Druckmann said that the first season will cover the events of the first game.[18] According to The Hollywood Reporter and Balagov's Instagram biography, the first season is expected to begin airing on HBO in 2022.[47][48]

Casting[]

For International Women's Day on March 8, 2020, Druckmann confirmed that several of the characters from the games would appear in the show, including Ellie, Riley, Tess, Marlene, and Maria.[17] On February 10, 2021, Pascal and Ramsey were cast as Joel and Ellie, respectively.[1][4] Earlier that day, it was reported that Mahershala Ali was offered the role of Joel after Matthew McConaughey turned it down;[49] The Hollywood Reporter noted that Ali "did circle a role" in the show, but a deal was never formed.[4] It was announced that Gabriel Luna was cast in a lead role as Tommy on April 15, 2021,[50] and Dandridge was confirmed to reprise her role of Marlene from the video games on May 27.[9] In May 2021, Classic Casting circulated a casting call for extras from Calgary, Fort Macleod, High River, and Lethbridge; anyone over 18 could apply, and those with vehicles from 1995 to 2003 were recommended.[51] It was announced that Parker was cast as Sarah on June 30, 2021.[14] Pierce, Bartlett, and O'Neill's casting as Perry, Frank, and Bill, respectively, was announced on July 15,[10] followed by Torv's as Tess on July 22.[12]

Writing[]

Mazin and Druckmann are writing the series.[21] Mazin, a fan of the video game, was introduced to Druckmann through Shannon Woodward, a mutual friend who portrayed Dina in Part II. Druckmann, a fan of Mazin's series Chernobyl, was originally working on a film adaptation of the game; Mazin felt that it required the length and pacing of a television series, and Druckmann agreed.[52] Mazin said that the series may represent a paradigm shift for film and television adaptations of video games due to the strength of the narrative, noting that "it would only take [HBO executives] 20 minutes on Google to realize that The Last of Us is the Lawrence of Arabia of video game narratives".[53] Mazin said that the changes being made for the adaptation "are designed to fill things out and expand, not to undo, but enhance".[54] He noted that the series was avoiding episodic storylines, such as random encounters not present in the original story. He added that content that was cut from the game will be added to the show, including one "jaw drop" moment that Druckmann described to him.[55] Druckmann noted that some of the show's scripts borrow dialogue directly from the game, while others deviate more significantly; some of the game's action-heavy tutorial sequences will be changed to focus more on the show's character drama, at the request of HBO.[18]

Filming[]

Filming took place in High River and Fort Macleod in July 2021.

Filming for the series began in Calgary, Alberta on July 12, 2021, and is scheduled to end on June 8, 2022.[25][56] Rodnyansky said that Balagov's episodes would be completed by the end of 2021.[32] Mazin noted that cinematographer Ksenia Sereda, a frequent collaborator of Balagov's, would likely work on the series;[30] her involvement was confirmed by Balagov in August 2021.[57] In June 2021, Eben Bolter revealed that he will act as a director of photography on the show;[58] he will work on Hoar's episodes.[59] Balagov posted an image of himself and Pascal in Calgary on June 29, 2021;[60] Luna posted a photo from set of himself alongside Balagov, Pascal, Parker, and Sereda on July 2.[61]

Technical rehearsals in the town of Fort Macleod took place in the evenings of May 20 and June 18, 2021, requiring the closure of Main Street.[62][63] Preparations in the town took place from July 5–12.[63][64] On July 12, the council of High River approved the production team's request to film in the former Beachwood area between July 12 and October 31.[65] Filming in High River took place in the evenings of July 13–19, 2021, including some driving scenes requiring traffic detours.[66] Filming later took place in Fort Macleod from July 19–24.[63][64][67] Several storefronts were changed to fit the show;[68] the production team polled businesses and residents in preparation for filming.[63] Onlookers on set identified Austin, Texas police cars, leading them to believe that the scenes were recreating the game's prologue.[69]

Production returned to High River in the evening of July 29 to the following morning, with the filming of a traffic jam, requiring the closure of a highway interchange and rerouting of traffic.[65] Filming moved to Calgary in August;[70] a small street of brick buildings was constructed near Stampede Park for use in production.[43] Balagov's episodes had completed production by August 30, 2021.[57] In September, images emerged online of a set believed to recreate a quarantine zone in Boston, as depicted in the game's opening act.[71]
