Faithfully adapting the events of the original PS3 game and its Left Behind expansion, the first season also incorporates additional narrative threads enriching the overall narrative. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key creative force behind the games) penned the scripts.

Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the game's original Joel and Ellie, also feature. The series follows Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.

A must-have for fans of the acclaimed video game series, the show masterfully captures the emotional depth and narrative intensity of the original source material. For a more detailed analysis, check out our Season One review.
