Available March 18th

The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD Steelbook)

Limited-edition collectible steelbook. Currently discounted at $45.44 (originally $49.99) at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

Faithfully adapting the original PS3 game and its Left Behind expansion, the first season expands upon the source material with additional storylines enriching the narrative. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's development) penned the scripts.

Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, and Bella Ramsey embodies Ellie. The series also features Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the original voice actors for Joel and Ellie, in supporting roles. The show follows Joel's journey escorting Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie's immunity holds the key to humanity's survival.

A must-have for fans of the video game series, the show expertly captures the essence of the original story. For a more in-depth analysis, check out our Season One review.
