The critically acclaimed HBO adaptation of The Last of Us, arguably the best video game-to-screen translation ever, is getting a stunning limited-edition release. With Season Two premiering in April on Max, now's the perfect time to revisit the gripping first season. This 4K UHD steelbook edition is available for pre-order, launching March 18th. Let's explore what this collectible offers.
Pre-order The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD Steelbook)
Available March 18th
The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD Steelbook)
Limited-edition collectible steelbook. Priced at $45.44 (9% off the original $49.99) at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
Faithfully following the narrative of the original 2013 PS3 game and its Left Behind expansion, the first season masterfully expands upon the source material with additional storylines. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's development) penned the scripts.
Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, and Bella Ramsey embodies Ellie, alongside appearances by Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the game's original voice actors. The series faithfully recreates the core journey: Joel escorting Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
For fans of the video game series (like myself!), the show is a truly rewarding experience. A detailed review of Season One can be found [here - insert link if available].
