Faithfully following the narrative of the original 2013 PS3 game and its Left Behind expansion, the first season masterfully expands upon the source material with additional storylines. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's development) penned the scripts.
Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the game's original Joel and Ellie, also make appearances. The series faithfully recreates the journey of Joel and Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
