HBO is turning the hit game The Last of Us into a TV series, as the The Hollywood Reporter revealed today.

The show will take inspiration from the original game, which came out for the PlayStation 3 back in 2013. This announcement comes as gaming has begun to become a good source for TV inspiration thanks to hits like Castlevania and The Witcher. The Last of Us became a big hit with its story about a grieving father escorting a teenage girl across a post-apocalyptic America filled with scavengers and zombie-like creatures. It won multiple Game of the Year awards and sold over 17 million copies.
