New set photos from the upcoming HBO horror series, The Last of Us, hint at a new location not in the original game. Based on the 2013 Naughty Dog property of the same name, the new 10-episode series focuses on the relationship between grizzled survivor Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) and post-apocalypse born teenager, Ellie (Bella Ramsey), as they trek across a zombie-infected country to find the headquarters of a militant faction called the Fireflies. Although Joel clearly wants no part of the mission, he quickly becomes aware of its significance when Ellie reveals that due to her natural immunity, she may be the key to stop the zombie infection plaguing the world.
The Last of Us originally began shooting across Canada in July of 2021. With the show's story details held under wraps, fans have had to rely on casting calls and set photos from local visitors to confirm the accuracy of the show compared to that of the original video game. Even with Niel Druckmann, the designer of the original game, as a writer and director on the show, there have been hints to changes of both story and character. A recent casting call for a child actor revealed a major change to a key character in the series.
