HBO has given fans a first glimpse at the upcoming adaptation of The Last of Us.
The hit video game is getting the small screen treatment with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay taking the lead, and now we’ve got a first look teaser of them in action as Joel and Ellie.
Like the game, the series in a post-apocalyptic future with zombie-style predators loose around the United States.
HBO has dropped a short teaser hyping up their upcoming programming to celebrate the launch of Games of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon.
In the clip, Pedro and Bella can be seen in character on the run and honing their survival skills, including Joel teaching Ellie to hold a gun and carrying her as they sprint from something, another clip shoes her running while firing a gun behind her.
She says: ‘Everybody I have cared for has either died or left me.’

A fourth person said: ‘Pedro’s voice is already selling me on him as Joel. 2023 can’t come soon enough.’
Neil Druckmann, the writer of The Last Of Us video game currently developing the TV show, previously recalled how he reacted when he saw the leading actors in costume for the very first time.
‘When I first saw them on set in full costume, I was like: “Hooooooly s**t! It’s Joel & Ellie!”’ he said.
