The episode was filmed in January and February 2022 in Calgary, Alberta. Johnson, who played the game after being assigned to direct, was encouraged to take an original approach. The episode is adapted from The Last of Us: Left Behind (2014), a downloadable content expansion to the video game on which the series is based. A flashback follows Ellie as she spends time with her best friend Riley Abel ( Storm Reid) in Boston. In the episode, Ellie ( Bella Ramsey) searches for supplies to save Joel.
The episode was written by series co-creator Neil Druckmann and directed by Liza Johnson. The Last of Us is largely a story about parenthood, and so it is told through the perspective of the parental figure." Left Behind" is the seventh episode of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us. In “ Kin,” the show explores Ellie’s anxiety at the possibility of being abandoned by Joel, but the character arc of the episode follows Joel as he makes the active decision to stay with Ellie. While Ellie is a well-developed character, thanks to both Craig Mazin’s scripting and Bella Ramsey’s performance, the show still unfolds largely from the perspective of Joel. According to Neil Druckmann, the original plan was for the first episode to follow Joel through the apocalypse and then “ end on the 20 years later where you see Joel throw the kid in the fire.” In fact, Ellie wasn’t supposed to appear in the original version of the series premiere. After all, the bulk of “ When You’re Lost in the Darkness” was given over to exploring Joel’s backstory and history. Nevertheless, there is a strong sense that The Last of Us is more Joel’s story than Ellie’s. Pascal and Ramsey are the show’s only two credited leads, and the series charts the evolution of the relationship between the pair.
It is the story of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). The Last of Us is undoubtedly a two-hander. This discussion and review contains spoilers for The Last of Us episode 7, “Left Behind.”
