All About The Last Of Us
The Last Of Us is set in an post- apocalyptic world now over run by the undead. 20 years after the apocalypse, humanity faces extinction, while a handful of survivors struggle for their life. Joel Miller and his younger brother Tommy Miller spend the early years of the apocalypse surviving together, until Tommy decides to lead a more meaningful life and then joins the Fireflies, a revolutionary militia group fixated on revolting against military oppression in quarantine zones. Meanwhile, Joel is hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl, Ellie, out of an quarantine zone as she is immune to the mutation. Elie was going to be used in order to derive a cure for the disease.
The duo travelled across the United States to reach their destination and depended on each other during their journey. Upon the end of their journey, they successfully reached their destination where Ellie was to be experimented on. Later on, Joel learns that Ellie was going to die as a result of the experiments which motivates him to betray his employers and rescue Ellie. The series is expected to stick to its storyline from the game, without any major changes.
The Last Of Us and The Last Of Us 2 were very amazing and successful games, therefore the anticipation for the series is also very high. It is also going to be the largest film/television production in Canadian history, which adds up to the excitement for the series. With remarkable actors like Gabriel Luna and Pedro Pascal, the series already has an upper hand, with great chances of success. The series will likely wrap up production in June 2022 and air in mid-2023.
