"Squid Game" Stars Kim Si-eun, Roh Jae-won Join "All of Us Are Dead" Season 2
Production has commenced on Season 2 of Netflix's 'All of Us Are Dead,' the Korean YA zombie thriller that emerged as a global phenomenon following its 2022 debut.
The series, adapted from Joo Dong-geun's acclaimed web comic, delivered massive international success in its freshman season, accumulating over 560 million viewing hours within 28 days of premiere and securing spots in the Top 10 non-English TV rankings across more than 90 countries.
Season 2 will shift focus to university-aged protagonist Nam On-jo, portrayed by returning star Park Ji-hu, now navigating life as a Seoul college student while grappling with lingering trauma from her high school survival ordeal.
The narrative takes a dramatic turn when a fresh wave of infection strikes the city, once again forcing On-jo into a desperate battle for survival.
The sophomore season introduces several new faces to the ensemble. Lee Min-jae ('Weak Hero: Class 2'), Kim Si-eun ('Squid Game' Season 2), and Yoon Ga-i join as a trio of battle-hardened university seniors who have developed their survival strategies.
Adding further intrigue to the mix is Roh Jae-won ('Squid Game' Seasons 2, 3), who takes on the role of Han Du-seok, a National Intelligence Service team leader whose involvement promises to inject new layers of tension into the storyline.
The season will also explore the current circumstances of original Hyosan outbreak survivors, including Cheong-san (Yoon Chan-young), Nam-ra (Cho Yi-hyun), and Su-hyeok (Lomon), as they confront the challenges of post-outbreak life while facing the resurgence of the infection.
Behind the camera, the directing duo of Lee JQ ('Daily Dose of Sunshine') and Kim Nam-su return to helm the sophomore installment, working from a script penned by returning writer Chun Sung-il ('King the Land').
The announcement reinforces Netflix's aggressive expansion in Korean content production.
Recent Netflix Korea successes include 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' starring IU and Park Bo-gum, 'Culinary Class Wars,' and the record-breaking 'Squid Game' Season 3 which helped drive the streamer's continued Korean content investment.

Dermot Mulroney Teases "My Best Friend's Wedding" Sequel
Yara Sameh After nearly 30 years, one of the most beloved romantic-comedies of the '90s might be receiving the sequel treatment. Dermot Mulroney recently revealed 'there is talk of a sequel' to his 1997 P.J. Hogan-helmed "My Best Friend's Wedding", in which he co-starred with Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett. 'I know nothing about it,' the actor clarified to the New York Post . 'Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote.' "My Best Friend's Wedding" stars Roberts and Mulroney as Julianne and Michael, childhood friends who made a deal to marry each other if they were both still single by 28. Days before her 28th birthday, Michael announces he's marrying 20-year-old Kimberly (Diaz), forcing Julianne to realize she's in love with her best friend, subsequently plotting to ruin the wedding. In 2023, Roberts expressed interest in reprising her role as Jules when asked which title from her filmography she'd like to see get a sequel. 'I think, maybe, My Best Friend's Wedding,' she said on Watch What Happens Live. 'Because there's so many people in it, and to see what they're doing and how Kimmy and Michael's marriage is going,' added Roberts, before revealing whom she thinks Michael should have chosen: 'Well, I mean, of course, Jules. But he married Kimmy.' With Diaz coming out of her 11-year acting retirement to star in Netflix's "Back in Action" this year, perhaps the four-time Golden Globes nominee will be up for the sequel as well. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
