MOVIES Games

The world of video games has long inspired Hollywood films and series. Some productions have been so successful that they inspired entire franchises, while others performed poorly at the box office and with critics. Still, adapting games into stories for the entertainment industry remains popular.

That’s certainly the case with 'The Last of Us,' which will premiere its second season on Max on April 13. Based on the second game in the 'Naughty Dog' franchise, the new season expands the post-apocalyptic setting and introduces key characters who play important roles in the story. In addition to familiar faces, the new season will feature newcomers such as Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, and Young Mazino.

In this gallery, revisit other films and shows inspired by the world of video games.
