"The Last of Us Season 1 Steelbook Released Ahead of Season 2"

The first season of HBO's *The Last of Us* stands out as arguably the best video game adaptation to date. This exceptional series, which closely follows the narrative of the 2013 Naughty Dog game for PS3, is set to captivate audiences once again with the upcoming second season airing in April on Max. To celebrate, a limited-edition steelbook of the complete first season is now available for preorder, with a release date set for March 18. Let's dive into what makes this release so special.

This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $49.99, but you can save 9% and get it for $45.44 at Amazon. It's also available at Target and Walmart. If you haven't experienced this gripping first season, it encompasses the entire storyline from the original game and the *Left Behind* expansion, along with additional world-building narratives that enhance the overall impact. The scripts were masterfully crafted by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the latter being a pivotal writer and creative director for both *The Last of Us* video games.

In the Max show, Pedro Pascal brilliantly portrays Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey delivering a compelling performance as Ellie. Fans of the game will be thrilled to see Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the original voices of Joel and Ellie, appear in the series as well. The show follows the same fundamental plot as the game, with Joel escorting Ellie across a fungal-zombie-ridden America, where Ellie holds the key to potentially saving humanity from the outbreak.

As a fan of the *The Last of Us* series, I believe the show does justice to its remarkable story. For a deeper dive, you can check out our review of *The Last of Us* season one.
