Why The Last of Us Chose Not To Show Bill & Frank’s Dead Bodies In Its Most Heartbreaking Episode

Director Peter Hoar explains why The Last of Us chose not to show Bill and Frank’s dead bodies during their heartbreaking episode. The series, based on PlayStation’s popular video game franchise, premiered on HBO earlier this year. Set within a post-apocalyptic world, where a fungal infection has caused humans to transform into “clickers,” The Last of Us tracks Joel (Pedro Pascal) and his efforts to protect an immune teenager named Ellie (Bella Ramsey). It also explores the lives of other survivors, including Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett), whose tragic story struck a chord with many viewers.
