HBO's adaptation of 'The Last of Us' takes a major step towards inclusivity by introducing an ASL version for Deaf audiences. Daniel Durant, an actor from 'CODA,' will perform in American Sign Language throughout Season 1, adding layers of comprehension to the show. The ASL version is intended to provide Deaf viewers with a better grasp of the content, utilizing their native language. Scheduled for release on March 31, this initiative aims to mirror the accessibility found in the original game, enhancing the viewing experience for all audiences.
"We always rely on captions, but they're always in English grammar structure, and having the concept of adding a Deaf interpreter there just makes it a clearer message..."
"...it gives us expanded ideas and meanings, and then we as Deaf people get to understand the meanings behind it, using our own language and seeing it on the screen."
"It's only fitting then that the series adaptation of 'The Last of Us' be as inclusive for Deaf viewers as the game is."
"HBO is set to launch an ASL version of both the first season of its hit series 'The Last of Us' and the upcoming second season."
