The 2013 video game “The Last of Us” was a hit with critics and players thanks to a powerful narrative.
Ten years later, that story is headed to television on HBO in what the industry hopes is a harbinger for artfully adapting video games to TV and film.
“The Last of Us,” created by video game developer Naughty Dog and published by Sony Entertainment, follows hardened survivor Joel and his young protege Ellie as they navigate a post-pandemic world fighting people and mutated creatures.
The zombie thriller, which premieres on Sunday, stars “Game of Thrones” veterans Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
