The television series based on the hit game The Last of Us is being developed by HBO. The show will focus on the relationship between main characters Ellie and Joel. It has been revealed that award-winning Chernobyl series writer/director Craig Mazin will write and executive produce the series.
It seems that the creators’ intention will be to attract viewers, bringing back that love-hate relationship between the characters that made the game so popular. Joel and Ellie are the main characters of the game and the story takes place after the localized pandemic that turned humans into zombies.
The two set out on a long journey to find a cure for the epidemic that has swept the modern world. Along the way, they discover much more than they bargained for. The Last Of Us 2 is streaming on the HBO Max streaming channel
