With a prospective second season on the horizon, one can expect other central females to appear later down the line, specifically Ellie’s rival Abby and love interest Dina. Just in the debut episode, we saw several familiar female faces in Ellie, Sarah, Tess and Marlene. Originally, candidates for the role of Ellie - such as Maisie Williams and Kaitlyn Dever - aged out of consideration by the time auditions had commenced. Auditions took place virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic, then on February 2021, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey were cast as Joel and Ellie, respectively. There’s no word yet as to whether the series made enough of an impact to be renewed for another season - it’s simply too early to tell - but both Mazin and Druckmann have been vocal about their interest in continuing, saying they’d be “lucky” to return for more.Ĭredit for the success of The Last of Us is due, in part, to the phenomenal casting choices. HBO’s The Last of Us series, based on the wildly popular PlayStation exclusive of the same name from Naughty Dog, premiered on January 15 with “When You’re Lost in the Darkness.” Launching with a 99 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, showrunner Craig Mazin and Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann’s live-action adaptation seemed to be a hit with the crowd, who were understandably skeptical as to whether or not theirs would be a faithful rendition of the critically acclaimed franchise.
