The Last of Us Gets a Season 1 Steelbook Just in Time for Season 2

HBO's The Last of Us, season one, is widely considered the gold standard of video game adaptations. Faithfully following the 2013 Naughty Dog game (with a few enriching additions), it's a masterpiece. As season two premieres this April on Max, fans can now revisit the gripping first season with a stunning limited-edition steelbook release, available for pre-order and launching March 18th. Let's delve into what this special edition offers.

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

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

This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $45.44 (a 9% saving from the original $49.99) and is available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

For newcomers, the season masterfully adapts the first game and its Left Behind expansion, incorporating additional storylines that enrich the overall narrative. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key creative force behind the games) penned the scripts, ensuring authenticity and compelling storytelling.

Pedro Pascal embodies Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Adding a delightful touch, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the original game's Joel and Ellie) also appear. The show faithfully follows the core narrative: Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.

As a huge fan of the game series, I wholeheartedly endorse the show's exceptional adaptation. For a more detailed perspective, check out our The Last of Us season one review.
