Set in 2023, 20 years after a fungal outbreak has effectively turned most of humanity into zombies, The Last of Us focuses mainly on Joel and Ellie, a taciturn smuggler and a precocious 14-year-old girl, whose journey across America holds the key to humanity’s survival.
Peter Hoar, the episode’s director, would regularly look over at showrunner Craig Mazin during filming, to see tears streaming down the writer’s face. Murray Bartlett, one of the stars of episode three, titled Long Long Time, describes walking on set, with “everyone on the verge of tears – and we hadn’t even shot anything yet”. “That was the happy episode!” The co-showrunner of HBO’s post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us – an adaptation of Druckmann’s enormously popular video game – knew this was going to be the episode that grabbed people’s attention and emotions. “Why is everyone crying?” tweeted Neil Druckmann last night.
