After dropping first-look footage last month, HBO has released the first teaser trailer for The Last Of Us, appropriately set to Hank Williams’ “Alone and Forsaken”, and given us our best look yet at the feared Clickers.
Based on the award-winning 2013 video game, The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed by a deadly virus. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone to the Fireflies, a cure-searching organization. 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 Last of Us also stars Gabriel Luna as Joel’s younger brother Tommy, Anna Torv as Joel’s smuggler partner Tess, Nico Parker as his daughter Sarah, Murray Bartlett as Frank and Nick Offerman as Bill, Storm Reid as Riley, Merle Dandridge as Marlene, Jeffrey Pierce as Perry, Lamar Johnson as Henry, Keivonn Woodard as Sam, Graham Greene as Marlon, Elaine Miles as Florence, and Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker.
The anticipated series is due to premiere sometime in 2023. Check out The Last Of Us teaser trailer below:
