HBO is hyping up its upcoming adaptation of Naughty Dog’s fan-favorite video game The Last of Us at the ongoing CCXP, and rightfully so. During the panel, where Collider’s own Steven Weintraub and Erick Massoto were in attendance, the cast and crew gave the audience a taste of what’s in store when the series debuts next year. A full-length trailer was released which builds on the previously seen footage.
During the panel, the cast and crew also spoke about their characters, experiences, and challenges, parts of which were put out by the series’ official Twitter handle. The Last of Us sees Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie, respectively, the duo that travels across the post-apocalyptic US in hopes of creating a cure. During the conversation Pascal revealed that he and Ramsey clicked instantly, “it helped a lot to have Bella Ramsey navigate the world of The Last of Us.

While historically, video game adaptations have failed to impress fans The Last of Us looks faithful to its source material. The Naughty Dog game has a huge fan following and is beloved for its distinct visual design and story narrative. After the CCXP panel, it’ll be very hard for fans to contain their excitement!
The Last of Us premieres on HBO on January 15, 2023, and will be available to stream on HBO Max. You can watch the new trailer below:
