This article answers “does Sarah die in The Last Of Us?” and contains spoilers.
HBO’s The Last Of Us TV series has been years in the making but it is finally here. Despite astronomically high fan expectations and stellar reviews that seemed too good to be true, the first episode was resoundingly well received by viewers. Many are calling it the best video game adaption of all time.
After watching episode one myself, I’m happy to confirm it delivered.
The Last Of Us Part I and Part II are truly spectacular games. What’s more, they’re wrapped up in a cinematic style that’s been crying out for a TV or movie adaption.
The new HBO show takes the best bits from the games and transports them into the medium of TV without missing a beat. What’s more, any changes that have been made only serve to make The Last Of Us work as a TV series. All in all, it is off to a flying start.
The Last Of Us tells the story of Joel and Ellie, two survivors of a worldwide pandemic caused by the contagious Cordyceps fungus.
The show picks up twenty years after the onset of the pandemic and the world has been devastated. Millions are dead or have been transformed into zombie-like creatures called “Infected”.
Joel and Ellie must embark on a journey across post-apocalyptic America. However, they must overcome the deadly Infected and merciless killers along the way.
Before we get to the present day, viewers saw Joel’s life before the Outbreak. He had a daughter called Sarah, but she is shot right before the time-jump.
So, does Sarah die in The Last Of Us?
Does Sarah Die In The Last Of Us?
The Last Of Us episode 1 kicked off in 2003. Joel is living a happy suburban life with his daughter Sarah in Austin, Texas.
Joel is an army veteran who works in construction alongside his brother Tommy.
It is Joel’s birthday and Sarah sets out to get his watch repaired as a present. However, throughout the day, she notices strange goings on around the city including a heavy police presence.
After Joel gets home, the two of them watch a movie. Sarah falls asleep on the sofa when Joel gets a call from Tommy who has been locked up for fighting a crazy man. Joel goes to bail out Tommy after carrying Sarah to bed.
However, Sarah wakes up to explosions outside before Joel gets home. She finds that the couple next-door have been killed by their previously wheelchair-bound mother.
Sarah flees just as Joel and Tommy pull up outside. The trio then drive off to find safety. However, they end up trapped in the city.
The three of them are separated in a car wreck before Joel and Sarah are confronted by a soldier.
The soldier shoots at Joel and Sarah and the pair roll down a hill. At the bottom, we see that Sarah is gravely wounded.
Does Sarah die in The Last Of Us? Sarah is shot and killed by the soldier at the beginning of The Last Of Us. The hasty time-jump that follows her death scene and lack of explicit confirmation has left viewers questioning if she actually dies. However, just like in the games, Sarah does die in The Last Of Us.
