The announcement that a series for The Last of Us was in development drove fans crazy, as they were eager to learn more about the production and what to expect from it. For now, only two cast names from The Last of Us have been confirmed. Joel Miller will be played by Pedro Pascal, while young Ellie will be played by Bella Ramsey.
Since the actors were confirmed, fans have created art and portraits imagining the actors in their respective roles, the Stryder HD channel on YouTube has also taken a stab at it by editing a deepfake style video, inserting the face of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey onto Joel and Ellie, in some memorable scenes from the first game. Even though the video is very amateur, it is fun to imagine these scenes being recreated with the actors.
Craig Mazin, responsible for the miniseries Chrnobyl, is writing the series, being the executive producer with Neil Druckmann, the creator and executive director of the game, The Last of Us. The series pilot will be directed by Kantemir Balagov, a Russian filmmaker praised in Cannes, known for his work ouoon the drama,! Beanpole.
