Once the human mind has been inhabited and infected, the parasites are able to take control of it and sprout terrifying powers such as razor-sharp tentacles from the host’s head.
But in Su-in’s case, she still has control over 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 so-called resistance to help fight the threat – so will the parasites achieve their one main goal of infecting and taking over humanity?
Well, it looks like the answer lies in a potential second season, according to eager fans.
Taking to X, many viewers expressed their excitement over the ‘fantastic’ new series and their hopes for a subsequent season.
One person wrote: ‘Finished Parasite: The Grey. The very last scene was unexpected. A second season would certainly be interesting.’
Another said: ‘Finished Parasyte: The Gray and I loved it! I hope they do a second season,” while a third wrote: “Great adaptation! Writers and directors took creative liberties and still pulled it off! Can’t wait for a possible second season!’
A fourth viewer said, ‘9/10. Thanks for serving me so many girls. Open ending I’m waiting for season two’, while another fan exclaimed: ‘THEY CAN’T JUST STOP PARASITE THERE, RELEASE THAT SEASON 2 RIGHT NOW.’

One impressed anime fan wrote: ‘Well done especially to those who have watched the anime. There is a build-up to 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 show thoooo(sic).. don’t show us that and don’t give us season 2 Netflix.”
It comes as Netflix fans have recently been ‘hooked’ on a new foreign language crime drama.
Wrong Side of the Tracks follows a military veteran as he seeks revenge on the Madrid gang that kidnapped his adopted grandson.
All 32 episodes of the show – named Entrivas in Spanish after the neighborhood where it takes place – are available with subtitles on Netflix.
