As part of "Last of Us Day", a first trailer for the TV adaptation of the Playstation cult game was released. The series is expected to run on HBO and Sky Show in 2023.

Since 2013, fans have been able to look forward to smaller and larger goodies on "Last of Us Day". In the past, there have been competitions, limited-time merch, downloadable content and unreleased behind-the-scenes impressions of the games. For "Last of Us Day" 2022, Naughty Dog has now brought out the big guns and released a first trailer for the eagerly awaited "The Last of Us" TV adaptation by HBO.

The video features many familiar locations and characters that fans of the first "The Last of Us" game will instantly recognise. I've rounded up the most important characters and compared them to their source material
.

Joel

Ellie

Sarah

Joel's daughter is one of the few cast members who, at least outwardly, deviates greatly from the original. She is embodied in the play by Hana Hayes. In the series, Nico Parker takes on the role.

Clicker

Clickers are people infected with the Cordyeps virus and are among the most dangerous enemies in the game. Because they can no longer see anything, they orient themselves, similar to bats, with loud clicking noises. The clicker from the series is in no way inferior to the original in terms of disgust factor.

Bill

Joel's old business partner plays an important role in the course of the story. I don't want to give away more at this point. In the original, he is portrayed by William Earl Brown. In the series, Nick Offerman, known from "Parks & Recreation", plays the crazy loner.

Marlene

In the game, the leader of the rebel group "Fireflies" gives her all to ensure that a vaccine can be developed with the help of Ellie's immunity. In both the game and the series, Merle Dandridge plays the role.

Ryley

If you want even more Last of Us, you can head over to the official Naughty Dog blog to download new wallpapers and new Reaction GIFs released as part of Last of Us Day.

In the HBO Max showreel embedded below, you can see some additional (very short) clips from the series. The section featuring "The Last of Us" begins at 1:40 minutes.

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
