HBO Max is starting 2023 off with one of its biggest shows of the year: The TV adaptation of the hit video game The Last of Us. The series, inspired by the PlayStation franchise, stars Pedro Pascal as Joel, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, and Anna Torv as Tess. As in the games, the characters are struggling to survive in a world beset by zombie outbreaks.
That is definitely the service’s big title next month, but there’s also the streaming debut of the recent horror film The Menu, the new adult animated series Velma featuring a new take on the classic Scooby-Doo characters, and a bunch of library titles including Captain Phillips, The Master, and the original Ghostbusters.
