Despite its short length, the clip is packed with memorable moments. An exchange between Joel and Ellie is directly lifted from the original game. Joel’s biological daughter appears in a flashback. The footage also shows Nick Offerman in character as Bill.
The series’ expectations are already sky-high. Craig Mazin of Chernobyl fame, as well as the game’s original creative director, Neil Druckmann, are involved in the project as writer, creator, and executive producer, in addition to a star-studded cast.
The show is set to premiere in early 2023. The first season will consist of ten episodes.
