So far, HBO’s adaptation of Naughty Dog’s renowned video game series has remained faithful to its source material during season one, with subtle alterations like expanded roles for characters such as Bill and Frank. However, it looks like “The Last of Us” Season 2 will delve further into the infected species that weren’t showcased in the original season.

Fans of the franchise will be thrilled to know that the upcoming season will feature more types of Cordyceps-infected characters, including the spine-chilling stalkers, which even gamers find terrifying just by hearing about them. Showrunner Craig Mazin hinted that viewers should brace themselves, saying “For those eager to see more of the infected… Hang on tight!”.

The Last of Us Season 2 Clip Shows Ellie Facing off Against a Stalker

Culture Crave on Twitter shared a sneak peek of Season 2’s The Last of Us, featuring Ellie cautiously navigating a warehouse while being pursued by a stealthy enemy. Ellie calls out “Come get me!”, and the agile infected stalker stays hidden, biding its time for an ambush. Ellie attempts to corner her elusive adversary but fails, as it swiftly finds cover. However, as Ellie hunts for the stalker, it cautiously emerges from hiding and moves towards her. The clip ends just before their confrontation, leaving viewers eager for more.

In the world of “The Last of Us,” stalkers are a type of infected being that emerge after exposure to the Cordyceps brain infection, following the initial stage known as the clickers. Unlike clickers, stalkers possess excellent vision and move swiftly. They are not only stealthy and agile, but also highly aggressive, often waiting patiently for an opportune moment before attacking their prey. This makes them particularly dangerous adversaries to encounter. Visually, stalkers sport fungal growths across their heads and faces, leaving a solitary eye, and can be identified by their croaking noises, reminiscent of the clicking sounds made by clickers but with a frog-like quality.

The second season of “The Last of Us” promises a thrilling comeback, with fresh faces like Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and Isabela Merced as Dina joining the cast. Moreover, the narrative will delve deeper into the character of Eugene (Joe Pantoliano), who was just mentioned in passing during “The Last of Us Part 2”. Alongside Bella Ramsey as Ellie and Young Mazino as Jesse, the second season of “The Last of Us” is set to air on April 13 on HBO Max.
