Faithfully following the narrative of the original 2013 PlayStation 3 game and its Left Behind expansion, the first season masterfully expands upon the source material with additional storylines. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's development) penned the scripts, ensuring a seamless transition from interactive experience to television.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey portray Joel and Ellie, respectively, with Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's original voice actors) making appearances. The series faithfully recreates the core storyline: Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
For those captivated by the show, the The Last of Us video game series is highly recommended. A review of season one can be found here.
