What’s The Last of Us about?
The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed by a fungal pandemic. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone.
What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival
Season one left us with Joel and Ellie headed back to Jackson, Wyoming, a thriving community of survivors from the fungal pandemic.
Production moved from Alberta to British Columbia for season 2 and there is a massive private western town set under construction at Britannia on the Sea to Sky Highway.
