The Last of Us TV show is coming to HBO, and it's sure to be lighthearted
HBO launched The Last of Us TV show, which promises to bring the critically acclaimed Naughty Dog video game series to the network. Series creator Neil Druckmann is ensuring that the television adaptation of The Last of Us does not disappoint and will serve as writer and executive producer. He is joined by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Carolyn Strauss, who produced this little-known show called Game of Thrones, as well as the truly haunting Chernobyl. Naughty Dog's Evan Wells and PlayStation Productions' Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan are also involved, so the series will stay true to multi-million selling PS4 games. Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO, said: “Craig and Neil are visionaries in a league of their own. With them at the helm alongside the incomparable Carolyn Strauss, this series is sure to resonate with both die-hard fans of The Last of Us games and those new to this genre-defining saga. We're excited to partner with Naughty Dog, Word Games, Sony and PlayStation to bring this powerfully immersive and epic story to life. "
