Nico Parker Cast In The Upcoming The Last of Us TV Show

Nico Parker has been cast alongside Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Gabriel Luna in the upcoming HBO TV adaptation of The Last of Us in which she’ll play as Joel Miller's daughter Sarah according to Deadline.

Parker (daughter of actress Thandiwe Newton) has had a few roles, but her breakthrough role was staring in Milly Farrier (Colin Farrell’s daughter) in Tim Burton's re-imagining of the Disney live-action adaptation of Dumbo in 2019. She also played a role in another HBO TV show, The Third Day which she ironically played a character called Ellie.

If you’ve played The Last of Us, then you’ll know the outcome of what happens to Sarah so it’ll be interesting how they incorporate that into the live-action TV show. Some sort of early flashbacks perhaps?

The TV adaptation is being created by Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin and series creator Neil Druckmann and sees the TV show take place 20 years after modern civilisation being destroyed. Joel (Pedro Pascal) is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone.
