Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in a world of zombies from “The Last of Us” for HBO

In the field of horror and suspense series, HBO always has a privileged place among the most anticipated platforms of the moment. And so fans don’t forget when it comes out, HBO has released a new poster starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, showing more of the world ravaged by the zombie crisis.

On their social networks, HBO has released the second poster of ‘The Last of Us’, where you can see Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey characterized as their characters, and the city of Boston in complete destruction. It should be remembered that for those who have not played the video game on which it is based, it is a zombie story in which the protagonists try to survive, being one of the few humans who managed to survive.

In a setting very familiar to those familiar with Naughty Dog’s work, ‘The Last of Us’ confirms its premiere on HBO Max on January 15th. And one more thing, it is also important to know that it is not necessary to have played both parts of the video game, since the series with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will only cover the events of the first part with Joel and Ellie.

The poster image of ‘The Last of Us’ warns of the dangers Joel and Ellie will face on their adventure, after a fungus known as cordyceps kicked off a global pandemic that would wipe out nearly the entire human population. Now, the few remaining are fighting to survive, but not only from zombies, but also from others seeking their own survival.

The Story of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’

“When you’re lost in the dark, seek the light” is the slogan that reads on the poster of the series. Without giving away too much about the plot of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’, some will know that it refers to The Fireflies, a faction of the world trying to find a cure and reverse the whole situation the world is going through, of desolation and misery. .

For those who have not played “The Last of Us”, the series is a good starting point for a dramatic, dark, horror and sometimes suspenseful story. And for those who have, it’s a chance to relive how it felt when they first met Joel and Ellie, only now differently and with a few changes from the source material.

In fact, Bella Ramsey, who plays Ellie, was ordered by the directors not to touch the video game, according to them, so that her portrayal of the lead would distance herself from Ashley Johnson’s work in the video game. ‘The Last of Us’ premieres January 16 on HBO Max.
