The Last of Us HBO series has the potential to be one of the biggest TV shows of the 21st Century, doing for gamers what Game of Thrones did for fans of fantasy.

All the ingredients are there from the get-go: Neil Druckmann is on-board to write The Last of Us show alongside Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin. Beyond that, there’s a Breaking Bad director helming the pilot, and the return of composer Gustavo Santaolalla.

HBO announced the television adaptation for The Last of Us on March 6, 2020. The series will be produced by game director Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, creator of HBO’s hit mini-series Chernobyl. That’s not all! The show seems like it will have all sorts of details and additions that will not only adapt but also expand upon the Last of Us universe.

Casting has yet to be announced, but many would like to see the original actors reprise their roles. Others are chomping at the bit for Joel and Ellie to be portrayed by Hugh Jackman and Maisie Williams, respectively. Other names that have been brought up for fan-casting Ellie are Booksmart actress Kaitlyn Dever and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who portrayed Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones.

So far, only a synopsis has been officially revealed by HBO: "The story takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival."

The series will “cover the events of the original game… with the possibility of additional content based on the game sequel [The Last of Us 2].”

Last of Us HBO was announced on March 6, 2020. Given the announcement, the show will likely air in late 2021 or early 2022.

While we can assume both Joel and Ellie will be present, the remaining cast is shrouded in mystery. On March 8, 2020, Neil Druckmann responded to a tweet celebrating the women on HBO by naming a few that would be in The Last of Us series. Druckmann mentioned Ellie, Riley (Ellie's friend and love interest), Tess (Joel's companion), Marlene (Leader of the Fireflies), Maria (Joel's sister-in-law), we can assume that Tommy will make an appearance as well.

Are you excited to see Joel and Ellie together again?

[ManniGaming]

Gotta say... Jaime Lennister makes for a pretty good Joel :-)

[jcolumbus]

Who’s here in 2025 where the girl that’s Ellie in this trailer is Abby in the HBO series ?

[robertooliveira]

Pretty good, but I'm not gonna lie, this will never replace the feeling of playing that incredible game...

[TaiiaraR]

This is funny because Kaitlyn Dever will be playing Abby in Season 2.

[shermysmileytan]

I didnt even realise this isnt the official trailer until i read the HBO PLEASE HIRE HIM

[TerraStone]

BRO this is so well edited, feels very official!
I have even higher hopes for the real trailer now haha

[airamaari]

DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THIS I THOUGHT WAS OFFICIAL

[potheadpikachu]

Everything from the music, the cinematography, the scenarios and the acting is just perfect.
When I played this game at 12 years old, I knew it was more than just a game.

[akshitarora]

This is the best unofficial trailer ever....
It looks so fuckinn real...

[Sheogorath-]

The girl on thumbnail looks like Ellie's and abbys child

[adrlng]

Hbo needs to hire him. For a hot second i thought this was the real trailer.

[tatamak]

The cast in this fan trailer is better than in official show)))

[Eythora]

the way tlou2 game cutscenes look, they can actually make a movie on their own without real artist. whats stopping them?

[karkanironside]

"keep you expectations low boi, and you wont be disappointed"

-kratos

[Okido]

HBO should hire the maker of this trailer and start shooting.

[JayPerera.Official]

how ironic that Kaitlyn Dever ended up playing Abby instead...

[Felghanna]

It's a shame that we didn't got these two as Joel and Ellie.

[puesdebarcelona]

OMFG that trailer is so realistic, like HBO HIRE HIM

[BatmanHQYT]

Man, Kaitlyn Dever would've made for a perfect Ellie.

[ryatt]

In another universe, we got this version. And damn, do I wanna be in it.
