This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $49.99, but you can save 9% and get it for $45.44 at Amazon. It's also available at Target and Walmart. If you haven't yet experienced this season, it faithfully adapts the events of the original game and the *Left Behind* expansion, enhanced with additional storylines that enrich the universe. The scripts for this critically acclaimed season were penned by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the latter being a pivotal figure in the creation of the *The Last of Us* video games.
In the Max series, Pedro Pascal stars as Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey portraying Ellie. Notably, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the original voices of Joel and Ellie from the games, also appear in the show. The series follows the duo's harrowing journey across a post-apocalyptic America overrun by fungal zombies, with Ellie potentially holding the key to humanity's salvation.
