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. Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann is one of five directors for the first season of the upcoming The Last of Us HBO TV series.
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.

I find it encouraging that HBO saw fit to give it the 'one more thing' treatment. Pedro sounds good as Joel and I'm sure Bella will be good too.
I’ve never been more excited for the TLoU show. I was afraid they would take away some of what makes Joel Joel, but it seems like, albeit in this very short clip, they’re honoring his character. It sounds like he’s got that Texas accent, and that makes me very happy.
Edit
Man, just watched it again. Pascal’s performance with just those few words feels so spot on to Joel and TLoU it gives me chills. Hyped!
Pedro's voice for Joel is spot on. I don't think we need to worry about his performance.
man i wished HBO would get rid of the SKY deal and release HBO Max in the UK half of the content is missing and alot of it have to watch within a month timeframe. also SKY is very expensive
Have you looked into Now TV? That tends to be cheaper. If you go for just the entertainment package (which includes HBO content) that’s comparable to other streaming services.
I'm still hopeful for this, even despite the "deviation". Looks good. I think we see a flash of Bill there as well. Let's do this.
Let’s see how long this lasts while Discovery is taking the axe to WB and HBO.
Perhaps they will throw it in the Garbage bin where it belongs
Not really worried about either fitting their characters honestly. The special thing about TLOU is the overall story doesn't really need Joel to be a country guy who lost his daughter. The most important thing here will be acting abilities. That's what you'll need to really capture the emotion from the games. If you get a guy who looks and talks like Joel but has the acting range of a potato then it will still be a bad show.
