The Last of Us, a post-apocalyptic TV programme premiering on HBO in the United States and Sky in the United Kingdom, is slated to cast Game of Thrones star Bella Ramsey in a new role.
Based on the video game series of the same name, the drama stars Bella as Ellie and Pedro Pascal from The Mandalorian as Joel, a smuggler tasked with transporting her across America.
With the 2023 release date, viewers will be plunged in a story in which the Cordyceps brain sickness has destroyed the earth.
Ellie is discovered to have immunity to the parasitic fungal infection and may hold the key to discovering a cure.
So, who is Bella Ramsey, and what other projects has she worked on? Here’s what you should know.
Who is Bella Ramsey and how old is she?
‘I guess my gender has always been very fluid,’ she said. ‘Someone would call me “she” or “her” and I wouldn’t think about it, but if I knew that if someone called me “he” it was a bit exciting.’
The actor shared that she ticks the ‘non-binary’ option on forms when it is available, adding: ‘I’m very much just a person. Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less.’
What other film and TV shows has she been in?
Bella is best recognised for her starring role in Game of Thrones, where she first appeared as the terrifying Lady Lyanna Mormont, the 10-year-old leader of the Mormont House, in season six.

Lyanna remained in the drama until the final eighth season, when she performed a significant, heroic role in the horrific Battle of Winterfell.
She made her television debut in 2017 as the lead character Mildred Hubble in The Worst Witch, based on the popular book series of the same name.
She stayed on the show for three seasons before deciding to leave the role, which was taken over by Lydia Page.
Bella revealed in an Instagram post announcing her departure from The Worst Witch that it was totally up to her to leave the show.

‘It was completely my decision to say goodbye for reasons I can’t really go into but to everyone reading this, please prioritise your mental health and do what’s right for you,’ she wrote in the caption, adding that she was ‘forever grateful’ to have played the character while also thanking fans for their support and her fellow members of the cast and crew.
Bella appeared in season two of His Dark Materials as Angelica, a girl from Cittàgazze who crosses paths with protagonists Lyra Belacqua (Dafne Keen) and Will Parry (Amir Wilson).
She played Jane Grey in the Becoming Elizabeth historical drama series, and she has also starred in films such as Holmes & Watson, Judy, Resistance, and Lena Dunham’s Catherine Called Birdy.
Bella has been nominated for Best Young Performer at the Critics’ Choice Awards for her portrayal in Catherine Called Birdy, which will be held on Sunday, January 15.
The Last of Us premieres on Monday January 16 on and NOW in the UK.
