The Last of Us is a popular video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was released in June 2013, and has since received widespread critical acclaim.

The game follows the story of Joel and Ellie, two survivors who journey across the United States in an attempt to find safety and a cure.
As of September 2021, it has been announced that a TV series adaptation of the game is in development by HBO, with Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the game's creator, serving as writers and executive producers. The series will be produced by Sony Pictures Television. The series is expected to follow the story of the game, but with some new characters and different elements.
