Craig Mazin
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey lead HBO's adaptation of the hit zombie apocalypse video game. Written by Craig Mazin ("Chernobyl") and game creator Neil Druckmann, the series recreates the game's bleak, terrifying, and action-packed vision. Their script will follow the first game's story of Joel protecting Ellie from zombies and humans alike. Nick Offerman, Storm Reid, Melanie Lynskey, and Murray Bartlett all guest star in various episodes. Merle Dandridge returns to play Marlene, who she voiced in both the first game and its sequel, while Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, and Jeffrey Pierce return from the games to play new characters. "The Last of Us" debuts on HBO in 2023.
