Cordyceps militaris could actually potentially make the jump to humans, especially someone immunocompromised, but it wouldn't be like in the show.

It wouldn't make people violent, it would make them horny. That's what it does in the insect world.

I imagine if it really made a successful jump to humans it could be quite devastating. How many people could a woman physically sleep with in 24 hours, assuming that she would accept anyone and was desperate? That's how fast it would spread. Luckily it probably wouldn't be that virulent in humans, one would hope. But it is the stuff of biological weapons, for sure, no joke.

The scary thing to me is that there are people out there who try to cultivate it and eat it (for the aforementioned effects). If it makes the jump, it'll happen with them first. Also contrary to what is said in the show, there are actually good antifungal drugs, so it would be treatable potentially to some degree, until it developed resistance anyway.
