Unfortunately, it looks like HBO’s adaptation of the hit game will not be hitting screens any time soon.

A recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter had HBO programming president Casey Bloys confirm that The Last of Us is “shooting right now in Canada” but will not be airing in 2022. “We have not announced an air date yet,” Bloys clarified, to the dismay of fans who were hoping to see the show air this year.

The Last of Us began filming in July 2021, and is expected to end in June 2022.

This led many fans to believe that a late 2022 premier could have been possible. It seems, however, that they’ll have to wait it out for another year.

The Last of Us is the first project undertaken by PlayStation Productions.

PlayStation Productions was founded by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2019, in order to adapt PlayStation franchises into movies and television shows. There will be a total of ten episodes for the first season, and the show will be the first HBO series to be based on a Video Game.

In other news regarding game-based film productions, the Uncharted movie has already premiered in select territories and will be showing in many more countries this coming weekend. With a $120 million budget, the movie adaptation has reportedly generated more than $21 million in its opening weekend. The star-studded cast includes Tom Holland, who is most well known for his performance as Spider-Man.

The post The Last of Us TV Show Will Not Premiere in 2022 first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Nick Offerman is an actor and comedian most famous for his role on the sitcom Parks and Recreation, wherein he plays the absurdly manly caricature of All-American excess, Ron Swanson.

Offerman’s casting for the role of Bill in the upcoming HBO TV adaptation of the game was confirmed after the original actor for the role (Con O’Neil from Chernobyl) had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts, according to Variety.

Furthermore, the role of Frank (Bill’s partner in The Last of Us) has been confirmed to be played by Murray Bartlett from the hit show Chernobyl. They will be “two post-pandemic survivalists living alone in their own isolated town”, which is an interesting creative choice considering we never “meet” Frank in The Last of Us game (on account of him being dead and all that jazz). So keeping Frank alive pleases me because it gives the impression the show will be adapting a similar story while also not being afraid to change things to give a distinct identity from the games.

Casting Details:

Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones) and Bella Ramsey (Hilda, Holmes & Watson… and also Game of Thrones) are confirmed to be playing The Last of Us protagonists Joel and Ellie. Click here for our past article going over the first images from the upcoming HBO adaptation.

Nico Parker from the new Dumbo will be playing Joel’s daughter Sarah. I’ll take this moment to say that the “I sell hardcore drugs” joke put me on my ass in the game, so fingers crossed some version of that makes it into the show. Gabriel Luna, of Agents of Shield fame, is also set to play Joel’s brother Tommy.

The Last of Us TV show will be the first foray from PlayStation Productions into live action entertainment, owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Considering both a starring actor and one of the lead writers for Chernobyl (Craig Mazin) will be working on the show, I’ll use this moment to recommend checking out Philosophy Tube’s analysis video on HBO’s Chernobyl, where (pre-out) Abby Thorn analyses the ethics and philosophy of personal responsibility.

Neil Druckmann, the lead writer for the first game (and co-president of Naughty Dog), will also be co-writer and executive-producer for the upcoming TV show adaptation, so this could either go absolutely brilliantly or absolutely not. Take it from me, us creatives have a lot of variation when it comes to how we go about tinkering with our “darlings”, to borrow a phrase from William Faulkner.

Shooting for The Last of Us TV show started in July, with plans to wrap up around mid-2022, expected to be largely following the plot of the first game.

Sony also announced plans for a 2022 January release for the PS5 version of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, though I’ve covered controversies with what features it will remove right here! If you want to try out Uncharted: Lost Legacy for yourself, click here.

Druckmann will be a director of HBO’s first series, which is sourced from an updated production list on the Directors Guild of Canada website from earlier this month. There will be five directors working on the series. Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin is listed as one of the directors and is co-writing and executive producing the show alongside Neil Druckmann.

The pilot episode is directed by Kantemir Balagov, who has uploaded a photo on Instagram expressing his gratitude for working on the series. The Last of Us adaptation is the first television series from PlayStation Productions, a studio formed by Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt its original game properties for film and TV.

In this series, Joel Miller is played by Pedro Pascal; he is known for his role as Javier Peña in the Netflix series Narcos. Ellie is played by Bella Ramsey, who is known for playing Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones. Another confirmed character and casting, who is not shown in the shared picture, is Joel’s daughter, Sarah. She is played by Nico Parker, the daughter of actress Thandie Newton, the starring actress of 2019’s Dumbo.

The production, which is set to wrap in June 2022, is expected to cover the events of The Last of Us (2013) and may include content based on The Last of Us Part 2 (2020). Filming is underway in Alberta, Canada, with its streets redesigned to look like the streets of Austin, Texas.
