Faithfully following the narrative of the original 2013 PS3 game and its Left Behind expansion, the first season also incorporates enriching supplementary storylines. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's development) penned the scripts. Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, Bella Ramsey plays Ellie, and the original game actors, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, also make appearances. The series faithfully recreates Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie's role in potentially saving humanity is central to the plot.

For fans of the video game series, the show is a compelling adaptation of its gripping story. For a more detailed review, see our assessment of season one.
