The premiere of The Last of Us Season 2 quickly introduced new characters and a terrifying new infected type called stalkers, which are smarter than regular infected. Co-showrunner Craig Mazin explained that these stalkers would likely have a significant role this season, drawing inspiration from the game's intense emotional impact. Actor Bella Ramsey noted the fear Ellie experiences when encountering a stalker, highlighting her lack of preparation despite her immunity. Additionally, Joel's character may face therapy this season, indicating deeper narrative explorations ahead as the series progresses.
It feels like they should [have a larger role], I mean, if you meet a single infected that is that tricky, that smart... and I loved how they presented this new kind of challenge.
The stalker really freaks Ellie out because she's never seen anything like this. She doesn't know how to handle it. And so, Ellie is going into this completely blind.
