The Last of Us, the television adaptation of the popular 2013 video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog, is now available in India on Disney+ Hotstar. The first episode of the show is already available to stream for Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscribers in India, and new episodes will air here every Monday at 8:30 a.m. for the nine-episode first season. The show, created for HBO, stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the lead roles, and is set in a post-apocalyptic United States.

Although the episodes air in the United States on Sunday evenings, the time difference means that new episodes will only air in India on Monday mornings at 8:30 a.m. The first season will run for a total of nine episodes and is based on the storyline and universe depicted in the 2013 video game. The show streams in India in up to HD resolution.

The show is set 20 years after the destruction of modern civilization and features hardened survivor Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) working to smuggle a 14-year-old girl, Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) out of a oppressive quarantine zone. The first episode, lasting over 80 minutes, sets the tone for the series and introduces both the setting and the characters.

In addition to Pascal and Ramsey, the show’s cast also includes Gabriel Luna, Nick Offerman, and Anna Torv, portraying the game’s popular characters Tommy, Bill, and Tess, respectively.

The Last of Us is one of many television and film adaptations of video games, following recent popular titles such as The Witcher and Uncharted. The idea of ​​adapting video games is not new; classic titles such as Tomb Raider and Hitman have also seen successful film and TV adaptations in the past.
