The last survivors (The Last of Us) is an American post-apocalyptic film series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, based on the 2013 game of the same name. The film is set to premiere in the United States on January 15, 2023.
The film takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed and tells the story of Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting 14-year-old Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States out of a quarantine zone. What begins as a small job soon turns into a brutal, heartbreaking journey in which the two companions must traverse dangerous territory, relying on each other to survive.
The series is believed to be the largest television production in Canadian history and was filmed in Alberta between July 2021 and June 2022. It is also HBO's first film series based on a video game, with the first season consisting of 9 episodes with writers Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (who directed and wrote the game's script).
