Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey deliver captivating performances as Joel and Ellie, respectively, alongside Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's original voice actors) in supporting roles. The series faithfully recreates the core journey – Joel escorting Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic – where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
