Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann via Twitter has posted the first official photo of the upcoming The Last of Us HBO TV series.

"When I first saw them on set in full costume, I was like, 'Hooooooly shit! It's Joel & Ellie!,'" said Druckmann. 

"The HBO adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us is full steam ahead. Can’t wait to show you more (from all our projects)."

It was recently confirmed Druckmann is one of five directors for the first season of the upcoming The Last of Us HBO TV series.

The first season of the show will adapt the first game in the franchise. However, some episodes will "deviate greatly" due to the game and HBO series being in a different medium. 

The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal plays Joel and Bella Ramey, best known for her role as Lyanna Mormont in HBO's Game of Thrones, plays Ellie. 

The pilot episode wrapped up filming last month, according to director Kantemir Balagov.

Is it too much to hope for that the internet won’t crucify this following on from TLOU2 backlash?

Did not do any surveys or anything, but still I'm quite sure that I'm one of the people on this planet who hated TLoU2 the most. And I can say I'm very much looking forward to the show. I really hope it is good since the first game is one of my favourites. Perhaps thereis a lot of people who are ready for some reciprocal first game love after this second game disappointment.

Please let this be good, it's one of my favorite franchises of all time. Loved Part II as well, wonder if they get to that eventually in the show.
