If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic shows, you’ve no doubt heard of The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The Alberta-filmed series is based on a popular video game of the same name, and just wrapped up its first season with an ominous season finale. Now, the HBO drama is establishing its home base for season 2, and it looks like Joel and Ellie are headed to the Pacific Northwest!
Filming of the first season took place in Calgary, Edmonton, and tons of other well-known locations in Alberta. And according to Deadline, much of season 2 will be filmed right here in Vancouver and the PNW.
