Filming for The Last of Us has transformed parts of Vancouver into a post-apocalyptic wasteland...again.
The HBO zombie drama stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent), Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones), and Nico Parker (Dumbo) and has been filming Season Two in the city for months.
Filming for the hit show recently took place on a portion of East Cordova Street, which included numerous, weathered-looking picture vehicles, graffiti, debris, and plants.
Multiple locals shared videos and photos of the expansive set on social media, noting that filming took place in the area from Friday, Aug. 9 through Monday. Aug. 13.
Filming is expected to continue in Arch Alley near Victory Square in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside through Tuesday.
