Pascal’s Joel, tormented by past trauma and failure, must trek across a pandemic-ravaged America, all the while protecting a girl who represents the last hope of humanity. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Game of Thrones‘ Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. However, Naughty Dog simply revealed that it's not ready yet.Based on the critically acclaimed video game The Last of Us, developed by Naughty Dog exclusively for the PlayStation platforms, the story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Those waiting for the multiplayer follow-up to the sequel were expecting a big announcement last month. While you might have a wait on your hands for The Last Of Us Part 3, Part 2's Factions should be coming relatively soon. There's also big news on the horizon for TLOU's video game universe. It has been rumored that each episode, of which there will be ten in season one, has a budget of more than $10 million.

Suffice to say, everyone involved is putting their utmost into making sure this first venture is a success.

The show is the first to come from the new PlayStation Productions studio which will be responsible for transforming PlayStation games into movies and TV shows. Fans of the games appeared to be united in believing Pascal and Bella Ramsey, who will play Ellie on the show, were the right picks for the roles after seeing the aforementioned official photo released on The Last Of Us Day. Even though a lot of Pascal's face is obscured by a mask as the photo was snapped while he was off-camera, it's plain to see that he and those running the show have nailed the Joel look.
