At the beginning of the year, HBO presented its new creation for the small screen: The last of us. Adapted from the video game of the same name, the series is set in a post-apocalyptic world. Fighting for his survival, Joel one day meets Ellie, a fourteen-year-old girl. Together they embark on a journey across the United States, during which they will have to face people infected by the virus that has ravaged the world, but also hostile survivors.

It was also quickly regarded as one of the best video game adaptations never done. HBO didn’t wait long before announcing it the launch of a second chapter. After the success of the first two episodes, last January the American channel made this second season official.
