According to a new report, The Last of Us TV series on HBO will feature flashbacks that weren’t in the original game and show the audience Ellie’s mom. HBO has been working to adapt The Last of Us with series co-creator Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin at the helm. The Last of Us is one of, if not the most beloved PlayStation franchises out there. Both games have been showered with critical praise for its cinematic storytelling, rich characters, and intense, brutal gameplay, making it ripe for a series on one of the biggest TV channels out there. Although we’ve only gotten a few teases from the show, a bunch of set photos have shown that it will be a rather faithful adaptation of Naughty Dog’s beloved game.
Who wants a scoop? People have known from set pictures that HBO’s THE LAST OF US will feature flashbacks not seen in the game, but I’ve also heard Ellie’s mom will appear.
