10 Most Anticipated New TV Shows Coming In 2023
1. The Last Of Us
Did you guess it? Of course you did.
The 2013 video game The Last of Us was a sensation. Set in a world ravaged by a fungus that turns people into zombie-like creatures, the game put players into the shoes of the survivor Joel Miller.
Joel comes across Ellie, a young girl with apparent immunity, and the two go on a grand adventure with a haunting conclusion.
The game was praised for many things, but particularly its powerful story. That made it prime material for a TV adaptation, which is exactly what we'll be getting in 2023.
Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal is playing Joel and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones' Lyanna Mormont) will be taking on the mantle of Ellie. The show has been heavily promoted by its parent network HBO, who released a trailer for it in September 2022.
The Last of Us is such an important and powerful video game, so there is a lot riding on this show to do it justice. However, with a killer premise, star-studded cast, and big budget behind it, we have faith it'll pull it off.
If not, HBO can just rebrand it as a Walking Dead spin-off and shift the blame.
