So without further ado, here's what we know about the show so far.
HBO
Pedro Pascal stars as Joel, the main protagonist who is tasked with taking Ellie to safety, believing she's the cure to a cordyceps infection turning everyone into zombies.
Ellie, who is immune to the infection, is played by Bella Ramsey.
Gabriel Luna plays Joel's younger brother, Tommy.
Nico Parker stars as Sarah Miller, Joel's daughter.
Also starring in the show is Storm Reid as Ellie's best friend, Riley.
Nick Offerman plays Bill, a smuggler and survivalist who helps Joel and Ellie.
Melanie Lynskey joins the cast as a new character named Kathleen who leads a revolutionary movement.
And Merle Dandridge is reprising her role as Marlene, the leader of the militia group known as Fireflies.
While most details will remain the same, there are a few differences. The show will give more context about how the infection spread and what Joel's life was like before the outbreak.
The game starts out in 2013 but the show will take place in 2003.
The HBO show will also feature new characters, and one of the characters, Sam, who isn't deaf in the game, will be played by deaf actor, Keivonn Woodard.
But the clickers are still just as terrifying.
...yay...
