Bella Ramsey is joining the cast of the upcoming HBO series The Last of Us!
The 17-year-old actress will star as Ellie in the television adaptation of the video game of the same name, THR reveals.
Here’s a synopsis: Set 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed, it centers on the relationship between Joel, a smuggler in this new world, and Ellie, a teenager who may be key to a cure for a deadly pandemic.
Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle the 14-year-old girl out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey as they traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
Bella‘s character is “a 14-year-old orphan who has never known anything but a ravaged planet who struggles to balance her instinct for anger and defiance with her need for connection and belonging … as well as the newfound reality that she may be the key to saving the world.”
The actress is perhaps most well known for her role as Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones, as well as Lorna Luft in the movie Judy. She has also starred in Hilda, The Worst Witch and His Dark Materials.

If you’re loving Zendaya‘s new HBO television series Euphoria, don’t expect to be watching it for many years to come.
The show is going to be getting a second season, but the president of HBO says he doesn’t foresee it being around for many more.
“Well, [the characters] are in high school, so there are only so many seasons it can go,” Casey Bloys told TV Line. “There’s a time limit.”
“We’ll follow [series creator Sam Levinson’s] lead on that,” he said in response to a question about a series end date. “There is no set plan. But I don’t think you want 30-year-olds playing [high school students].”
You probably know Dafne Keen from her work in the movie Logan and now she’s going to be an even bigger star thanks to her upcoming HBO series His Dark Materials!
The first trailer for the new show debuted at Comic-Con on Thursday (July 18) ahead of the show’s premiere in the fall.
The first season follows Lyra (Keen), a seemingly ordinary but brave young woman from another world. Her search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children, and becomes a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. As she journeys through the worlds, including our own, Lyra meets Will, a determined and courageous boy. Together, they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.
If you watched the latest episode of HBO’s Euphoria, you’re probably still thinking about that fan fiction scene involving Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, aka Larry Stylinson.
Barbie Ferreira‘s character Kat is depicted as the fan who launched the “Larry Stylinson” fan fiction and the show animates the fictional story about the pop stars. Zendaya narrates the very graphic scene.
Fans wanted to know if HBO received permission from the guys to be featured in the episode and Louis responded to a fan on Twitter.
“I can categorically say that I was not contacted nor did I approve it,” Louis replied.
I can categorically say that I was not contacted nor did I approve it.
According to HBO, the eight-episode season will follow a group of high school students as they “navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship.”
