About 'The Last of Us' Series Premiere
“The Last of Us” follows the story of Ellie and Joel, two humans trying to make their way through a post-apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by an outbreak of a mutated fungus. Ellie shows signs of immunity to the fungus, which leads her family to hope that a cure might be synthesized from her blood. Joel is tasked with helping deliver Ellie into the hands of those who can develop such a cure.
To do so, they’ll have to smuggle Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone, set up to keep one of the last pockets of humanity safe. From there, their journey will take them across the former United States, and the pair will rely on each other for survival.
The series features “Mandalorian” and “Game of Thrones” star Pedro Pascal as Joel, a survivor who is haunted by the traumatic death of his daughter. “GoT” fans watching “The Last of Us” will also recognize the star playing Ellie — Bella Ramsey, the young actress who captured audiences’ hearts with her portrayal of the brazen, courageous Lyanna Mormont.
