HBO spent a lot of money on TheLastofUs, giving the show a bigger budget than most seasons of GameofThrones!
To bring the world of The Last of Us to life, HBO pulled out the stops, offering a budget much higher than most are probably expecting. According to reporting from The New Yorker, the live-action series has a budget higher than each of the first five seasons of Game of Thrones! While the actual figure was not revealed by the outlet, The New Yorker puts the number"upward of a hundred million dollars.
While fans of the PlayStation games will no doubt tune-in for the series, it will be interesting to see if the HBO adaptation can hook casual viewers. The show is being co-written and co-produced by The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann, as well as Chernobyl's Craig Mazin. From everything revealed thus far, The Last of Us seems to be a fairly faithful adaptation of the 2013 game.
While HBO's expectations for the show are clearly high, the same can be said for fans of the game. Over the last 10 years, The Last of Us has built a passionate following, and fans aren't shy about sharing their feelings; many still aren't happy about how the second game turned out. The struggle with any adaptation is finding a way to please fans of the source material, as well as newcomers.
The Last of Us is set to debut on HBO on January 15th.
