The Last of Us has also filmed scenes in the legislature area and Rice Howard Way this week.

And according to Premier Jason Kenney, Alberta is in conversations with HBO about producing more seasons due to the province's Film and Television Tax Credit.

"I spoke with HBO's executive producer and they said to me, with all the new rules, we are the front runner for productions like this in North America now."

The show will premiere in 2022.
