If the names are familiar to you, you might know both of them from Game of Thrones. Pedro Pascal played Oberyn Martell and Bella Ramsey as Lyanna Mormont. But you might know Pascal more from his lead role in The Mandalorian or on Netflix' Narcos. The two actors will be playing a father and surrogate daughter tandem, Joel and Ellie, in The Last of Us's TV adaptation.

The casting news was confirmed by the game's creative director Neil Druckmann, who also serves as an executive producer and writer on the show. The first game in The Last of US series focused on Joel and Ellie's relationship, and it looks like the show will focus on that first. Chernobyl's Craig Mazin will be a writer and executive producer on the series, and Kantemir Balagov, who directed the independent WWII drama Beanpole, will direct the pilot episode.

Sony delays release of 'The Last of Us Part II' to May 2020

Just a month after Sony-owned developer Naughty Dog announced that The Last of Us Part II was set to get a February 21 release date, the developer relays some bad news. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, the game's creative director Neil Druckmann said the PS4-exclusive game will be delayed until May 29, 2020.

Druckmann explained, "However, it was during the last few weeks, as we were closing out sections of the game, that we realized we simply didn't have enough time to bring the entire game up to a level of polish we would call Naughty Dog quality. At this point, we were faced with two options: compromise parts of the game or get more time. We went with the latter, and this new release date allows us to finish everything to our level of satisfaction while also reducing stress on the team." So, for anyone excited for the game to come out, you'll just have to wait a bit longer.
