Binge has celebrated the Australian premiere of its new series, The Last Of Us, at the Ritz Cinemas in Randwick.
Sydney personalities, video game influencers and fans attended the premiere screening of the highly anticipated new post-apocalyptic drama series starring Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) and Pedro Pascal (Wonder Woman 1984).
Among the familiar faces to attend included Danny Clayton, who DJ’ed at the Mediaweek 100 afterparty, Christian Wilkins, Jana Hocking and Suzana Mutesi. Also at the screening was Binge’s CEO, Julian Ogrin.

The series is based on the popular video game The Last of Us, and takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed.
Pascal plays Joel, a hardened survivor who is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie, played by Ramsey, 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 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 on 16 January on Binge, with new episodes dropping every Monday.
