"Squid Game" Stars Kim Si-eun, Roh Jae-won Join "All of Us Are Dead" Season 2
Yara Sameh 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. 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

A historic comeback: Speed Classic Cape Town returns after 60 years
Motorsport is coming back to the heart of Cape Town this October as the Speed Classic Cape Town takes place on Philip Kgosana Drive. This two-day invitational event celebrates speed, heritage, and craftsmanship. The event, backed by Motorsport South Africa and the City of Cape Town, marks the revival of competitive hillclimb racing in Cape Town – a tradition that began in 1912, with races held on Camps Bay Drive, Signal Hill Road, and Kloof Road. The last known hillclimb on Camps Bay Drive was in 1962. Co-founder Garth Mackintosh explains, "We're not just creating another motorsport event. We're building a celebration of legacy, innovation, and craftsmanship." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Speed Classic Cape Town (@ The event includes two competitions: Classic Car Saturday (25 October): Highlighting vintage cars and classic engineering. King of the Mountain (26 October): Modern performance cars competing over 2.1km of winding road with a 150-meter climb. Attendees can also expect demonstration runs, local food vendors, hospitality lounges, and a range of activities. Event details: Dates: 25 and 26 October 2025 Location: Philip Kgosana Drive, Gardens Good to know: Applications for drivers close on 15 August, with tickets available for purchase from 1 August. Motorsport's Moment in South Africa The return of the Speed Classic isn't just a nostalgic revival, but part of an accelerated focus on local motorsport events to feature on the international racing calendar. Cape Town has already hosted the inaugural Cape Town E‑Prix in 2023 with a high-speed street circuit weaving through the city's Atlantic Seaboard suburbs of Green Point, Granger Bay, and Mouille Point. Most notably, South Africa is in the midst of a high-stakes bid to bring Formula 1 back home for the first time in over three decades. The Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture has tabled its ambitious proposal for a Cape Town street circuit that would run through the inner city and the V&A Waterfront. Meanwhile, Kyalami, the historic circuit near Johannesburg, has received FIA approval for a Grade 1 upgrade - further clearing the path for an F1 comeback. Critics argue that hosting F1 in South Africa is a costly luxury in a country facing pressing socio-economic challenges, with concerns around funding transparency and public benefit. However, Minister Gayton McKenzie stated South Africa "can't afford to host Formula 1." He drew a parallel to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which showcased the country's ability to successfully host a major global event and left a lasting economic and reputational legacy. He urged critics to consider the fierce competition among nations to remain on the F1 calendar - proof, he said, of the sport's undeniable value. 'It can't be called a world championship if it overlooks an entire continent - especially sub-Saharan Africa,' McKenzie added.
