When you’re lost in the dark, look for the light. When you finish streaming Sunday’s series premiere The Last of Us, look for a new behind-the-scenes look at how HBO brought the Naughty Dog video game adaptation to life. In the trailer, which you can watch below via YouTube’s HBO Max, the show’s cast and creators discuss the tragic beginning of the end of modern civilization and survivor couple Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). Be careful. there are spoilers For Season 1 Episode 1 titled “When You’re Lost in the Dark.”
“That’s how it starts. It begins with tragedy,” said series creator, writer and executive producer Craig Mazin. Pascal adds Joel’s devastating twist. “In the end, it’s the event that shapes the character for the rest of the show, for the rest of his life. That’s Joel’s point of identity.”
Set 20 years after the destruction of modern civilization, The Last of Us Follows hardened survivor Joel as he is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone. “What starts as a small job soon turns into a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they both must cross the US and depend on each other for survival.”
“Joel is a broken man, and he meets this kid,” Mazin says. Ramsey notes: “Ellie is not a big fan of Joel when she meets him. Their initial meeting doesn’t mean they’re best friends, but I think that’s also because they have similar personalities. They’re just clashing and they don’t know how to relate to each other yet.”
That will change during the nine-episode first season, which focuses on the relationship that develops between smugglers and a girl who may be humanity’s last hope for survival.
