Emotions were running high in last week's episode of The Last of Us, which recounted the events of the first game's devastating Left Behind expansion. Things aren't about to get any easier for Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in episode 8, either.
The Last of Us AU release date: Monday, March 6 at 1PM AEDT on Binge and Foxtel Now.
Although stitched up and stable following his run-in with some stabby men at the university, Joel (Pedro Pascal) is still out of commission while he recovers, leaving Ellie to fend for herself.
As you can see in the trailer below, Ellie crosses paths with David (Scott Sheperd), a man who runs what appears to be a cult. David is keen on taking Ellie under his wing, much to the chagrin of the cult leader's right hand man, James (Troy Baker).
Yes, you read that correctly — Troy Baker, who brilliantly voiced Joel in The Last of Us video games, takes on a different role in HBO's live action adaptation, and we can't wait to see what he brings to the table.
Alright, no more story details — here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Last of Us episode 8, in Australia today.
