Pedro Pascal in When You're Lost in the Darkness (2023)
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.

    • Trivia
      Merle Dandridge portrays Marlene, a character she also portrayed in the video games. This makes her the only actor to play the same character in the show, the first game, and its sequel. Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, and Jeffrey Pierce also star in both games (as Ellie, Joel, and Tommy respectively) and in the show, but unlike Dandridge, they will be playing different characters than the ones they originally played in the games.

      The song playing in the background of the Lone Star pawn shop is "I Can't Believe You're Back" by Jad Mhanna which was released in 2018. Not 2003.

    Look for the Light
    Phenomenal, powerful, fascinating, spectacular, breathtaking, brilliant, remarkable, exceptional, gorgeous, tremendous performance and Masterful execution, the best pilot episode I've ever watched. It's still early in 2023, but it's going to take a lot for The Last Of Us to not be my favourite show of the year. I'll never get why people doubted this show when it had HBO behind it, Craig Mazin the creator of the hit mini-series Chernobyl who is a massive fan of the tlou game, and Neil Druckmann the creator of the game itself directing and writing, and a talented cast that includes Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. HBO's The Last of Us Is a Masterpiece and a Triumph for Videogames.
