Once the human mind has been inhabited and infected, parasites can take control of it and sprout horrible powers, such as razor-sharp tentacles, from the host’s head.
However, in Su-in’s case, she is still in control of her mind, making her a valuable asset to a special task force, known as The Grey.
Su-in is recruited by the authorities who use her supposed resistance to help combat the threat. So will the parasites achieve their primary goal of infecting and taking over humanity?
Well, it looks like the answer lies in a possible second season, according to eager fans.
On X, many viewers expressed their excitement for the “amazing” new series and their hopes for a subsequent season.
One person wrote: ‘Finished Parasyte: The Grey.’ The last scene was unexpected. A second season would definitely be interesting.”
Another said: ‘I finished Parasyte: The Gray and I loved it! I hope they make a second season,” while a third wrote: “Amazing adaptation! The writers and directors took creative liberties and still pulled it off! I can’t wait for a possible second season!’
A fourth viewer said: ‘9/10. Thank you for serving me so many girls. Open ending, I’ll wait for season 2’ while another fan exclaimed: ‘YOU CAN’T STOP PARASYTE THERE, RELEASE THAT SEASON 2 RIGHT NOW.’

One impressed anime fan wrote: ‘Congratulations, especially to those who have watched the anime. “There is preparation for a second season, especially with a very familiar character appearing at the end.”
One final viewer commented: ‘As a fan of the maxim, the last minute of the program uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu[sic]..don’t show us that and don’t give us season 2 on Netflix.’
It comes as Netflix fans have recently become “hooked” on a new foreign-language crime drama.
Wrong Side of the Tracks follows an army veteran who tries to get revenge on the Madrid gang that kidnapped his adopted granddaughter.
The 32 episodes of the show, called Entrivas in Spanish, after the neighborhood where it takes place, are available with subtitles on Netflix.
