Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, showrunners for HBO's The Last of Us, have confirmed the return of spores in Season 2, a key element absent from the first season. A recently released trailer offers a glimpse of this reintroduction, showing Ellie (Bella Ramsey) encountering an infected individual whose exhaled breath releases a cloud of spores.
