The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO and based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog. The first season, based on the 2013 game, follows Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a teenager who is immune to the Cordyceps infection, across a post-apocalyptic United States. Guest stars include Nico Parker and Gabriel Luna as Joel's daughter Sarah and brother Tommy, Merle Dandridge as resistance leader Marlene, Anna Torv as Joel's partner Tess, Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett as isolated survivalists Bill and Frank, Lamar Johnson and Keivonn Montreal Woodard as brothers Henry and Sam, Melanie Lynskey and Jeffrey Pierce as resistance leader Kathleen and her second-in-command Perry, and Storm Reid as Ellie's best friend Riley.

The Last of Us premiered on HBO on January 15, 2023, and the first season aired weekly until March 12. The second season is set to debut in 2025. The series is the first live-action video game adaptation to receive major awards consideration. From major guilds, it won two awards at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and one at the Directors Guild of America Awards and Writers Guild of America Awards, and received two nominations at the Producers Guild of America Awards. It was nominated for six British Academy Television Awards, three Critics' Choice Television Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and five TCA Awards, and led the 1st Astra Creative Arts TV Awards with six nominations and the 22nd Visual Effects Society Awards's television categories with six nominations and four wins. In genre awards, the series was nominated for five Saturn Awards and won a Hugo Award. It won a Peabody Award for Entertainment, and earned the biannual Seal of Authentic Representation from the Ruderman Family Foundation for Woodard's role.

The series was nominated for 24 Primetime Emmy Awards, with a leading eight wins at the 75th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Ramsey, who identifies as non-binary, considered withdrawing due to the lack of non-gendered categories following Liv Hewson's withdrawal for Yellowjackets, but decided to contend for Lead Actress after discussions with Mazin, not wanting limited language to prevent celebrating non-binary performers; Ramsey's is the second non-binary acting nomination and the first for a leading role at time of nomination. Woodard is the second-youngest Emmy nominee, the youngest ever for Guest Actor in a Drama Series, and the first nominated black deaf and second deaf actor, while Pascal is the second Latino nominated for Lead Actor in a Drama Series and the first since 1999.
