Release Date: March 18th

Limited-edition collectible steelbook. $49.99 (Save 9% - $45.44 at Amazon, Target, and Walmart)

The first season faithfully recreates the events of the original 2013 PS3 game and its Left Behind expansion, enriching the narrative with additional world-building elements. 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 follows Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie's role in potentially ending the outbreak is central to the plot.

For fans of the game series, the show is a compelling adaptation. (See our Season One review for a detailed analysis.)
