HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us had a lot of ground to cover – and we're not just talking about the physical distance Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie travel throughout its nine episodes.
There was the outbreak, the different stages of the Cordyceps virus, new characters, and, of course, the main duo's slow-burn bond to explore. It's understandable, then, that episode 2's surprise reveal that the infected actually share a hive mind, a detail not present in the game, didn't really factor into the subsequent seven installments. Now, though, co-creator Craig Mazin has assured fans that the curious connection will be "brought forward" in The Last of Us season 2.
