The project was first announced last year in March, just before the launch of Naughty Dog’s long-awaited follow-up game The Last of Us Part II which was finally released in June.
The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror video game that is played from a third-person perspective.
According to CBC Canada, HBO is planning to start production on their highly-anticipated live-action series adaptation of The Last of Us this coming summer on July 5 in Calgary, Alberta.
The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television in association with PlayStation Productions.
