About the work

The Last of Us

After a global pandemic destroys civilization, a hardened survivor takes charge of a 14-year-old girl who may be humanity's last hope. The first season, based on 2013's The Last of Us, follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across the United States. In the second season, based on the first half of 2020's The Last of Us Part II, they have settled in Jackson, Wyoming, with Joel's brother Tommy and Ellie's friends Dina and Jesse. The group travels to Seattle to track down Abby, who is set to be the focus of the third season.
