HBO’s barnstorming live-action television adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us is gearing up for what could well be a very successful awards season, with the show now confirmed to have been nominated for a total of 24 Emmys.

The Last of Us is in the running to win Emmy awards across a whole sweep of categories, including best drama series, best directing in a drama series (for Peter Hoar’s work on the show’s standout third episode Long, Long Time), best writing for a drama series, outstanding production design for a narrative contemporary program, outstanding contemporary costumes for a series, and outstanding casting for a drama series.

And speaking of casting, The Last of Us’ talented acting ensemble is also up for a range of awards, with Pedro Pascal nominated for best lead actor in a drama series as Joel and Bella Ramsey nominated for best lead actress in a drama series as Ellie.
