First footage of HBO Max’s The Last Of US TV show released

It’s been over two years since HBO first announced it would be doing a TV show based on Naughty Dogs. The last of usand today we finally got our first proper look at it.

HBO just released a trailer showing all the things coming to HBO Max in the coming year, and towards the end – I’ve set the video below to autoplay at the right time, but if it doesn’t, is it’s about 1:43 – there it’s about 20 seconds showing Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie and Nick Offerman’s Bill:

Video: HBO

It is not much! Twenty seconds isn’t much, whether it’s its own trailer or not, and we really don’t see much aside from a few conversations and some guns. There’s a brief shot of infected spore growth on a wall, some tense music, Nick Offerman looks stressed, then the video skips back game of Thrones.

But still it’s nice to see some recent shots of the series, Almost a year after we came out, we’re looking at stills for the first time. Pascal looks and sounds as tired as you’d expect hope to be Joel.

The show – said to be the largest TV production ever filmed in Canada –has been Written and Produced by Naughty Dogs Co-President Neil Druckmann, along with Craig Mazin who previously wrote and produced the critically acclaimed HBO series Chernobyl.

Anyone hoping for a firmer release date for season one — the show’s deal is for several —to accompany the footage will be disappointed the revelation says just that The last of us coming “next year”.
