Pedro Pascal has indicated that season two of The Last of Us is set to be much larger and bolder, emphasizing intense character dynamics and the looming threats posed by Cordyceps-infected individuals. The season, which will premiere on April 13, features a return to familiar faces and introduces more terrifying infected variants, such as stalkers, fully realizing the drama and horror of the story. While it remains faithful to source material, it is not merely a remake, hinting at significant creative decisions that may spark debate among fans.
It's definitely a bigger, far more ambitious, and risk-taking season. And, if it can even be imagined, further tests our strength against a world we're already afraid to be in.
Showrunner Craig Mazin added that viewers will get to see more Cordyceps-infected people in season two, including the infamous stalkers who harassed players in the video game.
According to The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann, that creepy variant can 'do things that we've never seen any other infected do' on the show.
While the new season includes several faithful nods to its source material-- like airborne Cordyceps spores--it won't be a shot-for-shot remake of the video game.
