The filming of the HBO series The Last of Us is underway. These images show that show creators have kept to the post-apocalyptic theme.
The series is based on the immensely popular video game franchise. Production began in Canada, with Calgary becoming a post-apocalyptic street. This is most likely to be reminiscent of The Last of Us‘s beginning in Boston’s North End.

They become bonded by the harshness of their society and must face horrendous conditions and ruthless killers.
