@@Aeis_Arcade yeah that's what I keep looking for. Last I read it was going to be 2025! I'll forget about it by then! I HATE waiting so long for next seasons of shows I like.
@@crazyaces4042no you won’t 💀 sure it’s a good amount of time but they will NOT let you forget it. that’s also why there’s RECAPS at the start of new seasons or movies.
I'll never get tired of BTS stuff about The Last of Us, either the game or the show. Every single person who worked on both of these should be proud. They're both masterpieces in their own right.
I love it when Troy says "we've already done it, shot it, edited it. Why do it again?" and the response to that was "there are people out there who will never pick up a controller and experience the story. This story is special enough to bring it to them". I'm so glad you did as I am one of those people. Thank you
As someone with many friends who don't game, I am so happy they turned it into a show. My friends can finally experience the story in its own new and unique way, and we can finally talk about it together and bond over it
@andresavilaa2970 No, not at all AND i haven't looked at anything regarding the second game on purpose as my experience of the story is the tv series. I'm 47 and very unlikely to pick up a controller and play the game. My son has played both and loves both the game and show
@@alldy7836 Yeah, if they tell the exact same story and kill off you-know-who in the same way they did in 'The Last of Us 2'. It's bad enough that they killed off you-know-who, but what makes it worse is that they did it in a way that contradicts the intelligence that he's supposed to have. And, they had the audacity to mislead & lie to us via 2 of the game's trailers by making us think that Dina was gonna be the one who dies. If the TV series were to go that route instead, I would be so, so happy! But, I won't hold my breath, especially given that Neil Cuckman is directly involved.
And just a damn good show even it hadn't been based on the game. The story of the game was just so great, and they did a great job converting it into a series. I pretty much loved all of it, even the change of Bill and their whole episode.
@@connorbranscombe6819 Yeah plotwise it's the same but I didn't believe in Joel and Ellie's relationship and bond remotely as much as did in the game because they spent too much time on sidestories and characters, which completely destroys the ending
This show is absolutely perfect Bella Ramsey played Ellie to perfection and I can’t wait to see her play Ellie again in season 2. Pedro was perfect as well. He embodied my favourite character. The chemistry between the two is amazing and I loved the scenes where we get to see them bonding. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this show. It means so much to me.
@@cxmxqx recasting would be a complete waste of time considering how big of a role this is and how hard it was to cast Ellie in the first place, also bella is 19 almost 20. Ellie is 19 in Part II. Recasting for someone who looks slightly older is a stupid idea lmfao. Also most people seem to forget but they also made bella look younger on purpose, they can do the same thing with making her look older
@@Laikalister ellie is 14 years old in tlou and she looks and sounds like one. bella may be 19 or 20 but she doesn’t look like her age, she was able to play a 14 year old girl. recasting for tlou2 wouldn’t be stupid 💀 Ellie goes through puberty during the missing time span and she looks completely different and is also way taller
@@cxmxqxBella was 16/17 during production… they have significantly grown since then and it is very apparent. as the previous commenter mentioned, they took measures to make Bella look younger.
Someone who also deserves credit is BRUCE STRALEY who co directed the game with Neil druckman. Though he mainly focused on gameplay he still helped bring these characters and story to life. Thank you Bruce!
These making ofs are so important... Sometimes we don't realize the amount of work and effort they have to put in these shows. It's crazy! Thank you for doing the game justice.
I played the game 6 years ago. No other video game brought me in tears like TLOU. I've waited too long for the show and I'm happy that Pedro and Bella managed to bring alive the same emotions I experienced years ago. Thanks to HBO and TLOU team.
It is a masterpiece indeed!!! I'm a 56 yo woman, have never played the game and once I started watching the first few minutes of the first episode, I was hooked. The story is amazing and there's nothing you can take for granted. Excellent casting, acting, scenery, music and visual effects. I can't wait for the second season. Well done, everyone! 🥰🤗😁😊👌🙏💖
I was obsessed with the first part of the game and played it over 20 times just for the story. To see the show make ever so slightly changes were necessery and just perfect. This truly is a great show. And omg flash backs from the making of of the first game identical
There's no denial that this show ramped up the quality bar of the Film/TV Show making for the future of the industry. It's literally the learning course of "How To Make A High Quality TV Show" for others to borrow from in the future. Shout out to Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann and all the cast abd crew for their amazing works and endeavors. Can't wait to continue this journey in future seasons.
Discovered the game back in like 2014, fell in love right away. For me it has always been the greatest story game ever made by far. The fact that these amazing people came together and made the game come alive in such a beautiful way was so rewarding. Basically what i'm trying to say is, to all the people who contributed making both of these masterpieces (game & show) Thank you. You created something special.
As a die hard fan of the game it makes me so happy that they worked so hard to be a as faithful to the game as possible, much appreciated to everyone involved 👏🏼
The amount of work went into this series is just amazing . the acting, the plot ,the visuals all so well done that it doesn't feel like a episode. it feels like I'm watching reality and it may happen to us someday
imagine this in a videogame........and ppl still argue against videogames They honestly can do so much better to ppl than some tv shows yes, being viciated in videogames is bad but worse is watching reality tv imo
@@inescosta2671 that's right . They actually maintained the scientific plot so well other than many zombie series that it doesn't feel like something made up out of thin air
God, they did an absolutely FANTASTIC job bringing this game to life. The cast, the crew, the VFX, the music, everyone who worked on this show should be absolutely proud of themselves because it truly came out so incredible. I can't wait for Season 2 to come along. You can tell just how much love and thought was put into this and it's SO COOL to see how they brought it all to life together. Truly incredible. 👏🏻
Im still not over episode 3 😭💔 by then end of it, I was snuggled into my husband, crying, and telling him how much I loved him 😂 genuinely, I think that was the best episode of television that Ive ever seen, and part of an already great show.
Truly amazing to see how much effort is put into something like this - every scene is a huge testament to the overwhelming love and dedication that went into the creation of this show.
There are no words to describe the talent here...in every single dimension. A cohesive masterpiece. Unreal. Thank you for bringing this game to life. Every painstaking, micro decision and addition was worth it.
I love watching the BTS. Seeing how much work goes into a project (whether you liked the ending result or not) makes me appreciate the story so much more. Well done! Can't wait to see Part 2 come to life
When I heard that this show was being filmed in my hometown I was ecstatic, can’t believe this amazing show was actually filmed less then ten miles away from me.
The wail Neil talks about how much work went into the start ... well it absolutely shows. What an excellent opening. As soon as I saw it I knew I was in for a treat. A truly epic experience, thank you!
I love Part 2 even more than the first. Very curious what the reaction to the show will be though seeing as it was a much more divisive game than the first.
@@jimmymurphy898 havent played part 2 yet (am gon borrow it soon though). Have seen a play through and well, i dont love it like u do lol. Have decided to play it mainly cuz season two will come out at some point. Hope ill be able to enjoy it more than i think but yeah, i think the story decisions i dont like will mean i wont love it nearly as much as part 1😂.
Congratulations to all involved from Pedro, Bella, Anna, Nick, Craig, Neil, Troy, Ashley, Jeffrey....everyone. This is an amazing accomplishment in the small screen. I can't wait for season two to see what you all have in store for us. Congratulations MAX for knowing a winner when you see one. Many thanks.
Gosh....how much we needed this. Kudos to everyone who contributed to the project's deserved success. Here's to a stellar production run with Season 2 🎉
I've rewatched the show several times and now this making of too. The passion you all put into converting game to show is tangible, the amount of details impressive, the skills of everyone phenomenal! Can't wait for season 2!!🙌❤️ Much love!
It’s because of this show that I picked up the controller and now a year later almost, I’ve upgraded my PS and finished a few more of these types of story driven games, including LOU 1/2. 🙏🏼
This is the best making of i've seen in a long time. A lot of making of are mostly actors and directors talking about their experience. This one on the contrary let a lot of different crew members talk about the sets, vfx, sfx, music, sound effect, scouting the filming locations. And that is so rare and precious. I also like that they barely compare the game and the show in this, showing that tlou the show is it's own piece of art. Thanks to all of those who worked on the show and the making off, can't wait for season 2 ! (ps : i'm learning english, if my comment is unclear please tell me so I can correct myself)
the show and the games (and the comic, cannot forget it exists) You´re so right! That´s something that honestly unfortunally not many big companies/studios do sadly, so it is so empowering for those lesser known workers to be recognized for their work, even if their names aren´t mentioned. Behind a show/game and their directors and actors there´s always a huge team that usually goes forgotten
This is how a masterpiece is made. Passionate people at the peak of their craft working together on a shared goal. Reminds me of the behind the scenes videos of Bungie developing the original Halo games. If only the Halo TV show was as good 😢
Never played the game for whatever reason, but the show was so amazing I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. So well done in every way. I love zombie/apocalypse/dystopian stuff, but it’s also so unbelievably emotional and well written. Every episode is unbelievable, but episodes 3, 5 and 8 were on another level. Best tv show I’ve ever watched.
I LOVE The Last of Us games, they've made me feel so many emotions, joy, sadness, anger, disgust. The show absolutely did the story justice! Amazing directors, producers, actors, the entire crew! If any of ya'll are reading this, from the bottom of my heart thank you!
My daughter has never played TLOU and after convincing her to trust me about this she’s obsessed with it. Now for her birthday I got her a hoodie with Bella and Pedro on the back. It’s incredible to see her reaction and love the story as much as I do! Can’t wait for Season 2! 😮
Their use of practical effects is such a big part of why this series works. I hope more will go back to it. For the viewers, the actors and all the extra jobs it creates.
It’s really fascinating hearing the practical and digital working hand and hand. How there are practical elements, and those practical elements are then scanned and upped in quantity with cgi. Or practical environments and then the sky or the plane comes in digitally Hats off all around
I love the games. Dare I say they changed my life. I've beaten them countless times, and everytime I restart them it's like the first time all over again. I get back in the headspace of when I first played. And I walk every inch of the maps and just enjoy the love that was put into making the games. I just feel like whenever I play again I have to give that love back. TLoU is king
Such a masterpiece of a TV show. I've played part 1 but seeing it as a live adaptation is a thrill ride and still brings me very emotional moments. We hope that the succeeding series will be as seamless and provocative as what we have played in part 2.
its insane to me how i grew up playing these wonderful games of the last of us and knowing the fact that this game turned into a show is incredible, the last of us will always be my favorite games because the story line and the way the characters develop during the game is awesome. I really cant wait for the next season for this show its gonna be awesome and abby is gonna be in the next season oml im hyped
18:18 Pretty cool seeing my hometown in the show. The High Level Bridge is real and is used multiple time a day for freight trains and is over 300 feet tall.
Working on a series like this must have been a dream! The respect that the filmmakers had for the original game really shows in the end product. The sets and Infected look incredible and the production teams have really delivered! It's my lifelong dream to one day work on a show or film with a production like this as well.
tlou2 is one of the best games I've ever played, it brought me feelings I have never felt for a game before, it was just THAT special, I'm not saying there aren't plot holes, which I think if more thoughts were put into those it would have made the game into perfection. I was literally left stunned the first time I finished the game, I have NEVER felt that for a game before and I played enoumous amount of games in my lifetime.
To have two such outstanding and moving video games AND now a fantastic series adaptation is incredible. How great to have the same people working on it with the same passion and knowledge. I love It! I'm looking forward to the next seasons to see how the adaptation of the much larger and more complex TLOU Part 2 turns out.
This is probably the best video game adaptation ever made, THANK YOU!!! This series was amazing and I was so worried that the game that I love dearly would be misinterpreted or fail to deliver the message and love that the game did, I was so REMARKABLY happy with how it has turned out! much love to every single person who worked on this
1:30 This was my sentiment aswell as Troy's. My Wife was interested in the show, which she knew of, but she didnt play the game and connect with it the same way as i did. when it came to HBO, we both got to watch it together and i got to share the story i love so much with her. Thanks
I will never understand people saying Bella isn't the right choice for Ellie. Even going against advices and watching the game's playthrough is one the most Ellie thing she can do.
Just simply the best series ever.And the actors and actresses are just brilliant And the effects are stunning so much went into making a great series and it’s Portrayed in every scene .
Happy TLOU day, this was one of the greatest video game adaptations of all time easily. Can't wait to see what comes in the future for this fantastic franchise.
For us gamers we're still waiting for part 3 and now we're waiting for part 2 in the show. I hope they take as much time as they need on both to ensure that it's legacy as a franchise is assured
The environment in the show is actually just like the game...the show in itself is also not bad, but the game somehow has more emotion in it's cut scenes...and the tension while playing is another level
The Last of Us is my favorite video game and its live-action adaptation was undoubtedly beautiful, the best of 2023 and it is my favorite, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are magnificent and did a great job. I WANT TO SEE THE SECOND SEASON 🤩🧟♂️🧟♀️❤

Behind a show/game and their directors and actors there´s always a huge team that usually goes forgotten
This is how a masterpiece is made. Passionate people at the peak of their craft working together on a shared goal. Reminds me of the behind the scenes videos of Bungie developing the original Halo games. If only the Halo TV show was as good 😢
Never played the game for whatever reason, but the show was so amazing I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. So well done in every way. I love zombie/apocalypse/dystopian stuff, but it’s also so unbelievably emotional and well written. Every episode is unbelievable, but episodes 3, 5 and 8 were on another level. Best tv show I’ve ever watched.
Joel dies in season 2.
I LOVE The Last of Us games, they've made me feel so many emotions, joy, sadness, anger, disgust. The show absolutely did the story justice! Amazing directors, producers, actors, the entire crew! If any of ya'll are reading this, from the bottom of my heart thank you!
My daughter has never played TLOU and after convincing her to trust me about this she’s obsessed with it. Now for her birthday I got her a hoodie with Bella and Pedro on the back. It’s incredible to see her reaction and love the story as much as I do! Can’t wait for Season 2! 😮
Joel dies in season 2
Their use of practical effects is such a big part of why this series works. I hope more will go back to it. For the viewers, the actors and all the extra jobs it creates.
so proud that they filmed in my city for this :)
1:40 this is so true i’m so happy it got a live action. my grandma loves the show
It´s so amazing seeing aall of the crew from old and new actors to special effects professionals talking so passionately about this project
It’s really fascinating hearing the practical and digital working hand and hand. How there are practical elements, and those practical elements are then scanned and upped in quantity with cgi. Or practical environments and then the sky or the plane comes in digitally Hats off all around
I love the games. Dare I say they changed my life. I've beaten them countless times, and everytime I restart them it's like the first time all over again. I get back in the headspace of when I first played. And I walk every inch of the maps and just enjoy the love that was put into making the games. I just feel like whenever I play again I have to give that love back. TLoU is king
The only thing I didn't like about the show, it was too damn short.
The only thing to dislike about it
Agreed, we NEED MORE!!!
completely and forever obsessed with The Last of Us
SAME I just rewatched for the third time ur internet mom ash`s reaction to the show
This show was terrific and amazing and an emotional rollercoaster... I am so devastated that season 1 is over, I need more of it ^^
I never expected a story about a fungy infection to be so emotional. Heartbreaking. Love the characters.
the story is about a father and a daughter and all the other people affected by the fungy, not the fungy. and I love it cause of that
Such a masterpiece of a TV show. I've played part 1 but seeing it as a live adaptation is a thrill ride and still brings me very emotional moments. We hope that the succeeding series will be as seamless and provocative as what we have played in part 2.
Well worth the effort Max I hope to see more shows like this. I’d love to see more video game adaptations. Red Dead Redemption
This show is SUPERB!If you haven’t seen it?YOU SIMPLY MUST!It’s THAT good!!👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🖤
its insane to me how i grew up playing these wonderful games of the last of us and knowing the fact that this game turned into a show is incredible, the last of us will always be my favorite games because the story line and the way the characters develop during the game is awesome. I really cant wait for the next season for this show its gonna be awesome and abby is gonna be in the next season oml im hyped
This show was perfect. Really hoping for more seasons!

Pretty cool seeing my hometown in the show. The High Level Bridge is real and is used multiple time a day for freight trains and is over 300 feet tall.
Working on a series like this must have been a dream! The respect that the filmmakers had for the original game really shows in the end product. The sets and Infected look incredible and the production teams have really delivered! It's my lifelong dream to one day work on a show or film with a production like this as well.
To know that both the game and show are masterpieces is just so satisfying
tlou2 is one of the best games I've ever played, it brought me feelings I have never felt for a game before, it was just THAT special, I'm not saying there aren't plot holes, which I think if more thoughts were put into those it would have made the game into perfection.
I was literally left stunned the first time I finished the game, I have NEVER felt that for a game before and I played enoumous amount of games in my lifetime.
Thank you for giving us the game and the show! I'm a huge fan! Happy TLOU Day! 🎊 And happy birthday, Joel! ❤
To have two such outstanding and moving video games AND now a fantastic series adaptation is incredible. How great to have the same people working on it with the same passion and knowledge. I love It!
I'm looking forward to the next seasons to see how the adaptation of the much larger and more complex TLOU Part 2 turns out.
I just love they took some time to show Gustavo's musical creation in this making of, since Gustavo's soundtrack is a huge part of the soul of TLOU
This is probably the best video game adaptation ever made, THANK YOU!!! This series was amazing and I was so worried that the game that I love dearly would be misinterpreted or fail to deliver the message and love that the game did, I was so REMARKABLY happy with how it has turned out! much love to every single person who worked on this
When the studios bring everybody from the original game....always a PERFECT match for success.
I already know I’m gonna cry so much while watching season 2
Insane craftmanship in every field of work. Bravo!
1:30 This was my sentiment aswell as Troy's. My Wife was interested in the show, which she knew of, but she didnt play the game and connect with it the same way as i did. when it came to HBO, we both got to watch it together and i got to share the story i love so much with her. Thanks
I will never understand people saying Bella isn't the right choice for Ellie. Even going against advices and watching the game's playthrough is one the most Ellie thing she can do.
please make a season 2 , miss this show soo much
Just simply the best series ever.And the actors and actresses are just brilliant
And the effects are stunning so much went into making a great series and it’s
Portrayed in every scene .
Happy TLOU day, this was one of the greatest video game adaptations of all time easily. Can't wait to see what comes in the future for this fantastic franchise.
All what we can say is just Thank you and you did really an amazing job!
I can't describe how i love the game and the show now. Thank you
What an insane amount of effort from everybody involved! Thank you 👏🏼
Great documentary, would love to see a full making of series for this show, it’s so interesting!
I absolutely enjoyed season 1 definitely one of the best shows of this year 🌟
For us gamers we're still waiting for part 3 and now we're waiting for part 2 in the show.
I hope they take as much time as they need on both to ensure that it's legacy as a franchise is assured
Thank you guys for giving us such a great show for the time and effort you put to make it happen ❤
The environment in the show is actually just like the game...the show in itself is also not bad, but the game somehow has more emotion in it's cut scenes...and the tension while playing is another level
Gotta love the guy with the Zelda tshirt at 19:02
Incredible performance, adaptation, cinematography, everything.
The music literally give me goosebumps
The Last of Us is my favorite video game and its live-action adaptation was undoubtedly beautiful, the best of 2023 and it is my favorite, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are magnificent and did a great job. I WANT TO SEE THE SECOND SEASON 🤩🧟♂️🧟♀️❤
6:34 theses practical effects are absolutely insane
