In just over a month, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann will bring viewers back to the post-apocalyptic world where a mutated Cordyceps virus has almost destroyed the world in "The Last Of Us" - and Season 2 will adapt the events of "The Last of Us Part II" and fundamentally change everything for Joel and Ellie as they try to live out their lives in Jackson.
Sad news has rocked Hollywood and the video game world, as beloved American actress Annie Wersching has passed away at the age of 45 after battling an unspecified form of cancer as Variety reports.
Best known for her roles in "24" as Renee Walker, Amelia Joffe in "General Hospital", and The Borg Queen in Star Trek Picard, she had several guest appearances in popular television shows. However gamers and Naughty Dog fans will best know her for being the motion capture actress and voice behind Tess - Joel's smuggler partner and an important supporting character in the 2013 video game "The Last Of Us".
Rest in Peace Annie, and thank you for giving us so many memorable roles.

After much rumors and speculation that a remake to one of Naughty Dog and PlayStation Studios most prized titles would be happening, a trailer has leaked for The Last of Us remake that will be coming to PS5 - and it's aptly titled as "The Last of Us Part I".
Summer Game Fest hasn't kicked off yet, and the trailer is now online everywhere.
Via Gematsu, check out the trailer below - and it's slated for a September 22, 2022 release.
Released to coincide with the worldwide celebration of The Last of Us Day (aka when the outbreak of the cordyceps virus took place in the game), HBO and Naughty Dog have released the first photo of "The Last Us" TV series - which sees two former Game of Thrones stars in Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey as Ellie for the first time!
Their backs turned and looking towards a plane crash on a hill, the much anticipated TV series is currently in production - with the first season set to debut in 2022!
One of the most anticipated TV series adaptations of one of the most beloved video game franchises in recent memory finally gets leads attached to the project, as HBO has cast Game of Thrones alums Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel Miller and Ellie in "The Last of Us" series!
As reported by Deadline, Bella Ramsey was revealed first as Ellie - and the young actress who played Lyanna Stark in the final seasons of Game of Thrones is undeniably talented and perfect to play the role of the 14 year old survivor who discovers she is immune to the fictional Cordyceps virus that has infected humanity and turned its victims into cannibalistic zombie creatures. Pascal, who played other fan favorite character Oberyn Martell in the series as well as the lead character in the Disney + Star Wars series The Mandalorian will be playing Joel Miller - the 40 year old survivor who is jaded by his experiences before and after the outbreak but is tasked with bringing Ellie across the former United States to a location where a possible cure could be made for the virus.
In addition to being very talented as Lyanna Mormont, Bella can play the guitar and sing - something that Ellie acquires in the TLOU universe thanks to Joel.
Looks like Joel and Ellie are officially getting the TV Series treatment, as HBO has officially greenlit "The Last of Us", with Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin set to write the show.
The news comes via The Hollywood Reporter, and Naughty Dog and The Last of Us director Neil Druckmann is set to help write and executive produce the program based on the video game series he helped create. HBO and Sony Pictures TV are producing it along with PlayStation Productions, Word Games, and Naughty Dog.
Based on the 2013 survival horror adventure and PlayStation exclusive, The Last Of Us takes place 20 years after a devastating fictional Cordyceps virus cripples civilization and turns its victims into fungal monstrous creatures. Joel - a survivor who works as a smuggler and bears a tragic past, is tasked with taking a young girl named Ellie from one quarantined state to another, on a mission that could help turn things around and save humanity from the virus once and for all. However, Joel and Ellie's journey is filled with danger from both the infected and the living - forcing them to rely on each other for survival and changing their lives forvever.
The Last of Us TV Series has no release date or other details yet, but there'll definitely be more details coming as the developers work to bring this critically acclaimed video game series to life on the small screen.
