In a nutshell:<\/strong> Another day, another delay. This time, it\u2019s HBO\u2019s series adaptation of Naughty Dog\u2019s The Last of Us. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Casey Bloys, president of programming at HBO, said The Last of Us is currently shooting in Calgary in Alberta, Canada. An air date hasn\u2019t\u2019 yet been set, the executive noted, but confirmed the show won\u2019t be ready to premiere in 2022. <\/p>\n

Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann back in September shared<\/a> the first official photo from the set, showing Ellie and Joel from the back. At that time, production was expected to wrap up in June 2022. It\u2019s unclear if they\u2019ll still meet that deadline, or if more time than anticipated will be needed in post.<\/p>\n

When I first saw them on set in full costume, I was like: “Hooooooly shit! It’s Joel & Ellie! ?!”<\/p>\n

The @HBO<\/a> adaptation of @Naughty_Dog<\/a>‘s The Last of Us is full steam ahead!<\/p>\n

Can’t wait to show you more (from all of our projects!) Happy #TLoUDay<\/a>!!! pic.twitter.com\/trq9N340FW<\/a><\/p>\n

The series will star<\/a> Pedro Pascal of Narcos fame as Joel Miller, with Game of Thrones\u2019 Bella Ramsey playing Ellie. The show will be based on the events of the first game, in which Joel is tasked with escorting Ellie out of quarantine in search of someone that can help them create a vaccine for the infection that has decimated humanity.<\/p>\n

The first game in the series dropped in 2013 to universal acclaim. It\u2019s deemed a \u201cmust-play\u201d game on Metacritic with a score of 95<\/a> and a user score of 9.2. The Last of US Part II<\/a> arrived in 2020 and was equally welcomed by critics and fans, earning a Metascore of 93<\/a> and the same \u201cmust-play\u201d badge.<\/p>\n
