Let's break down where audiences have seen her before. Parker may have a familiar face to some viewers. The Last of Us TV shows first set photo has been revealed, featuring Pedro Pascal as Joel, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, and newcomer Nico Parker as Joels daughter, Sarah.It would appear the cast is.

Nico Parker also appears as Joel's daughter, Sarah, and players of the games know exactly what that entails. Gabriel Luna ('Terminator: Dark Fate') plays Tommy, Anna Torv ('Fringe') plays Tess, Nick Offerman ('Parks and Recreation') plays Bill, and Merle Dandridge reprises her role of Marlene from the video games.

Joel and Ellie have cemented their spots as two of video games' most iconic characters, but 'The Last of Us' brings a slew of other characters to the small screen, many of which have notable actors in their roles. The basic premise of the show is that Joel (Pedro Pascal), a grizzled survivor, has to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a teenage girl, across the country because she could be the key to humanity's survival. These creatures aren't always the biggest problem, though, with the situation bringing out the worst in people who only look out for themselves. If Sarah was in Joel's position, there's a good chance she would've helped people, at the cost of her own life.'The Last of Us' is set in a postapocalyptic world ravaged by a fungus that turns infected humans into zombie-like beings. During the chaos in the city, Joel shows that he's willing to do harsh things like abandoning a family on the side of the road to protect his daughter.

All this culminates to show how innocent she is compared to Joel when the outbreak officially becomes a reality. She goes through great efforts to fix his watch at a pawn shop and later spends time with her neighbors, which clearly she doesn't want to do, but does it anyway because she's a people-pleaser. Despite the fact that she has to act like a caregiver for herself at times, she understands the stress Joel is under at his demanding job, and would want someone to make her own birthday special as well.Īfter school, she goes into the city, which doesn't seem to be outside her comfort zone but is definitely dangerous as the outbreak is settling in. The day of her outbreak is Joel's birthday - a tragic fact knowing Joel's day to celebrate his life is the one he lost his daughter on - and she goes above and beyond to make sure she has a special day. Before her death, Sarah is a regular girl who lives with her father, has a good relationship with her uncle Tommy, and is beloved by her elderly neighbors. Unlike the short time spent with Sarah in the video game, the HBO series emphasizes her backstory more.
