Ahead of the global premiere of the highly anticipated new post-apocalyptic drama series, The Last of Us, starring Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) and Pedro Pascal (Wonder Woman 1984), Sydney personalities, video game influencers and fans attended BINGE’s Australian premiere tonight (Wednesday 11 January) at Ritz Cinemas.
Based on one of the world’s most popular video games, “The Last of Us,” the story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel (Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
The nine-episode series, based on the critically acclaimed video game, features Australian stars Anna Torv (Fringe) as Tess, a smuggler and fellow hardened survivor and Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus) as Frank, a post-pandemic survivalist.
The Last of Us premieres 16 January on BINGE, with new episodes dropping every Monday.

PREMIERES 15 MARCH ON BINGE
BINGE continues to bring viewers the world’s greatest superheroes this March; new heroes will rise in Gotham Knights while Superman & Lois Season 3 takes flight, both premiering 15 March with new episodes weekly.
In Gotham Knights, Batman is dead, and a powder keg has ignited Gotham City without the Dark Knight to protect it. In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan) is framed for killing the Caped Crusader, along with the children of some of Batman’s enemies: Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), an unpredictable fighter and skilled thief who was born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father, Harper Row (Fallon Smythe), a streetwise and acerbic engineer who can fix anything, and her brother Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara), a clever transgender teen who is tired of being polite and agreeable. This team of mismatched fugitives must band together to become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.
The new series will also star Misha Collins (as Harvey Dent), Navia Robinson (as Carrie Kelley), Anna Lore (as Stephanie Brown) and Rahart Adams (as Brody).
Starring Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf) as the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent and Elizabeth Tulloch (Grimm) as comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane, the Kent family return for their third season on Superman & Lois. The new season opens weeks after Superman’s blowout defeat of Ally Allston. Clark (Hoechlin) and Lois (Tulloch) are now working at the Smallville Gazette together and enjoying small town life. But the Kents’ romantic bliss only shines a light on how isolating “the secret” can be. Meanwhile, the Kent boys find themselves being pulled in opposite directions as Jordan (Alex Garfin) discovers what a superhero-identity really means and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) searches for purpose beyond the football field.
The season three ensemble cast also includes Erik Valdez (as Kyle Cushing), Inde Navarrette (as Sarah Cushing), Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana Lang) and Dylan Walsh (General Sam Lane).
