Bill appears in the game, but by the time Joel and Ellie encounter him, his partner, Frank, is already dead. One of the biggest differentiations came in episode 3, “Long, Long Time,” which pulled back from Joel and Ellie’s story to focus on Bill ( Nick Offerman) and Frank ( Murray Bartlett). The Naughty Dog co-president is also a creator and executive producer of the HBO series, so he’s well-placed to ensure the show maintains the spirit of the game while also deviating where necessary.
The sci-fi drama is based on the 2013 video game of the same name, which was written by Neil Druckmann. While minor characters come and go, the series focuses mainly on Joel ( Pedro Pascal), a middle-aged survivor who is charged with protecting Ellie ( Bella Ramsey), a teen girl who is seemingly immune to cordyceps.
The culprit is cordyceps, a real fungus that in the show has evolved to infect humans, who become zombie-like after exposure. The Last of Us follows a group of survivors after a pandemic wipes out most of humanity, but it’s not a virus that causes the catastrophe - it’s a fungus.
