The Story
The Last of Us Season 1 followed Joel and Ellie as they attempted to survive a world inundated with “clickers.” These humans have been afflicted with a fungal infection that turns them into horrifying flesh-rending monsters. The show’s first season adapted the original 2013 game. Meanwhile, the upcoming second season is expected to adapt the game’s 2020 sequel, The Last of Us Part II.
