“The Final of Us is taking pictures proper now in Canada. We haven’t introduced an air date but,” Bloys stated. “Nevertheless it’s not 2022. They’re nonetheless taking pictures in Calgary.” He stated one thing just like Deadline, too: “[The Last of Us] is just not going to air in 2022 — they’re nonetheless taking pictures in Canada. I think about you will note it in ’23.”
Whereas it’s a bummer that the present gained’t be out in 2022, I’m simply high-quality with HBO taking on a regular basis it wants. The Final of Us is one in all my favourite video video games, and I actually wish to see HBO do it justice, so I’m okay ready to see the present till it’s prepared.
The sequence will star The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal as Joel, Recreation of Thrones fan-favorite Bella Ramsey as Ellie, and Merle Dandridge shall be reprising her position as Marlene from the video games. Neil Druckmann, the artistic director behind the sport sequence, is an govt producer and co-writer of the tv present, and Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin can be serving as a author and exec producer.
The upcoming present is a part of what appears to be an enormous effort from Sony to make movie and TV variations of its video games. An extended-in-development Uncharted film debuts this week, for instance, and there’s a Ghost of Tsushima film and Twisted Metallic TV present within the works as nicely.
