The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, is a post-apocalyptic drama adapted from the popular video game of the same name. Fungus has evolved in ways we’ve never expected taking over human hosts, thriving on passing their spores from one victim to the next. With some small adaptations to the original plot, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have brought this world to life in one of HBO’s biggest productions yet. The series was such a hit from the start for both fans and newcomers that it was renewed for a second season after the premiere of its first few episodes.
