HBO’s upcoming adaptation of Naughty Dog’s smash hit action-horror video game series, The Last of Us, starring The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal as Joel and Game of Thrones’ Bella Ramsey as Ellie, has excited fans ever since it was first announced. In a world where AMC has carved out a niche with any number of programs containing Walking and/or Dead in the title, what HBO was going to do with these cordyceps-infected mushroom monsters was fair game.

HBO, on their YouTube channel, just dropped the new trailer for the January 15, 2023 series that they first debuted at CCXP in Brazil. It gives fans a larger glimpse at the world they recreated from the popular games.

The trailer opens with Ellie asking Joel if he doesn’t think there’s hope in the world, how does he keep going on? A montage of shots follow: Joel and Ellie crossing a freeway overpass; the pair hiding from clickers; Joel on what looks like the night the infection first started. He answers her question by saying that she doesn’t know the world, so she doesn’t understand that a person keeps going on for family. “I’m not family?” Ellie asks as Joel drives them down the road. “No,” he says. “You’re cargo.”

It cuts to soldiers scouting neighborhoods and more of the devastation the cordyceps virus has wrought as Tess (Anna Torv) asks Joel what makes Ellie so important. Ellie explains that somewhere, out West, they’re supposedly working on a cure before explaining her immunity by showing off her scarred arm. A little bit of humor comes when Tess and Joel talk about dealing with Ellie if she so much as twitches and Ellie dramatically overacting being infected.

Joel tells Ellie that he’s taking her with him, detailing his rules of being in charge. As they begin their journey the trailer brings up a montage of images again: soldiers pounding in doors; armed civilians riding around in the back of a big truck led by other military vehicles; Joel and Ellie stalking through a snowy forest. Joel asks a person offscreen what the best way to go West is. The unseen person is revealed to be a man named Marlon (Graham Greene) who explains the best way to go West is by going East. Then he warns the pair against what they’re about to face as it cuts to Joel and Ellie making their way through an infected building, black fungus everywhere.

The trailer begins a ghostly version of A-ha's "Take Me On" and runs through more images: Joel and Ellie surrounded by horsemen in a snowy field; Marlene (Merle Dandridge) telling Ellie she has a greater purpose than anyone could’ve imagined; Ellie's mother (Ashley Johnson) crying as she holds a newborn Ellie. Ellie stands in a mall watching it light up as the power comes back on and mugs for the camera in a photobooth with Riley Abel (Storm Reid). There are shots of Bill (Nick Offerman); of rioters; of people racing on horseback; and David (Scott Shepherd) slamming a meat cleaver down by Ellie’s head. Ellie embraces Joel before the trailer ends on one final shot of a group of clickers running out of a flaming ruin toward the camera.

The Last of Us premieres January 15, 2023.
