The Last of Us HBO Show Gets New Image, Troy Baker & Ashley Johnson Join Cast

To close out today’s Summer Game Fest, Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann appeared on stage to discuss The Last of Us franchise and gave fans a new look at the highly anticipated upcoming HBO series.

The new image features Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) crouched down inside a museum. In the distance, and in the dark, fans will notice the brief outline and iconic face of a Clicker as it tries to find the two.

Check out the latest The Last of Us image below:

Fans of the original game will remember the museum section as one of the earlier parts of the game, where Joel and Ellie must make their way through and also deal with a new type of Infected creature in the process. Alongside the new image, actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson — who portray Joel and Ellie in the video game franchise — also confirmed that they will appear in the upcoming series, as two characters different from those they voice in the games.

The Last of Us series will tackle the events of the first game with the possibility of additional content based on the upcoming video game sequel. It is set to be led by Game of Thrones alums Pedro Pascal as Joel, and Bella Ramsey as Ellie.

The live-action series is executive produced and co-written by Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and original game writer Neil Druckmann, who is also serving as one of the directors. It is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television in association with PlayStation Productions. Executive producers are Carolyn Strauss, Naughty Dog President Evan Wells, and PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan.
