Nick Offerman, best known as Ron in Parks and Recreation, also features as Bill, and is joined by Murray Bartlett as Frank, the other half of the survivalist duo.
Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who played Joel and Ellie in the game, will also both appear in the show, but the roles have not been revealed.
What is the age rating for the Last of Us?
Following the game's rating (PEGI 18), the show has received an 18 rating due to the violence and language used.
