"The Last of Us" shoot transforms downtown Vancouver into overgrown city

May 3 2024, 6:29 pm

A film set for The Last of Us has transformed Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside into an overgrown city.

The second season of the HBO hit series starring Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Nick Offerman is currently shooting in Vancouver after the first season was filmed in Alberta.

Included in the latest set is a green car nestled in grass, a dusty camper van parked next to a building with Burrard Iron visible, a dirty speed limit sign, and a dirt road. The set is visible on Alexander Street just west of Main Street.

Creative BC confirms a production under the name Mega Sword will be filming in the province until August 24. It’s been widely reported that Mega Sword is a code name for The Last of Us.

Some of the second season’s events are supposed to take place in Seattle, which Vancouver frequently transforms into on-screen.

Last month, production went to Vancouver Island for a weeks-long shoot in downtown Nanaimo.
