We finally have a release day for HBO's adaptation of the video game franchise The Last of Us. It's coming to HBO Max on January 15. In Canada, Bell's Crave service will stream the series on day one. The show tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two people living in a world devastated by the outbreak of a deadly fungus that mutates the infected into terrifying monsters. 

The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) as Joel and Ellie. Merle Dandridge reprises her role as Marlene and Nick Offerman will be the survivalist Bill. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who plays Joel and Ellie from the games, also star in the show but in unannounced roles.

HBO drops first trailer of 'The Last of Us' adaptation

HBO is finally ready to show a bit more of its adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game, The Last of Us. The series stars The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal as Joel and Game of Thrones's Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Similar to the games, the show tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two people living in a world devastated by the outbreak of a deadly fungus that mutates the infected into terrifying monsters. 

If this first full-length trailer is any indication, the story understandably focuses on Joel and Ellie instead of the monsters themselves. The trailer is leaving us intrigued, and we can't wait to see it when HBO debuts the show in 2023.

Get your first glimpse at HBO's 'The Last of Us' show

We're finally getting our first peek at HBO's adaptation of the Naughty Dog Playstation gaming franchise, The Last of Us. We get a quick look at Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie from the game. Neil Druckmann—the writer and creative director of both The Last of Us titles and an executive producer of the show—tweeted, "You ain't seen nothing yet."

What we have seen so far shows Neal Offerman's character and a scene that looks like it recalls the opening sequence of the first game with Joel's daughter. We don't have an exact date of when the series will debut, but HBO chief content officer Casey Bloy mentioned in February that it's coming in 2023.
