After A Long Wait, ‘All Of Us Are Dead' Season 2 Begins Shoot
Last Updated: All of Us Are Dead Season 2 will have Si-eun Kim and Jae-won Roh from Squid Game Season 2. When All of Us Are Dead debuted on Netflix on January 28, 2022, it quickly captured global attention and became one of the platform's most-watched shows. Given its soaring popularity, it was no surprise when Netflix announced the show's renewal for a second season by June 2022. However, despite the buzz and anticipation, the long wait for updates has tested the patience of fans, with production delays spanning several years. Now, there's finally good news on the horizon. Filming for the much-anticipated second season is scheduled to commence this year and fans have been treated to an exciting update: a fresh wave of cast members has joined the ensemble. The hit live-action zombie thriller is based on the popular webtoon of the same name. According to a report from Collider, the upcoming season will welcome new faces, including Min-jae Lee, Si-eun Kim, Ji-hoon Seo, Ga-yi Yoon, and Jae-won Roh. They'll appear alongside returning cast members from Season 1—Ji-hu Park, Chan-young Yoon, Yi-hyun Cho, Lomon, In-soo Yoo and Yoo-mi Lee—who all gained major recognition after the show's breakout success in 2022. Writer Chun Sung-il, who penned all 12 episodes of the first season, is also returning to script Season 2. Season 1 unfolded around a chilling yet straightforward concept: a failed science experiment at a local high school unleashes a zombie outbreak, trapping students inside and cutting them off from the outside world. With limited access to help and dwindling supplies, the surviving students are forced to defend themselves using whatever the school has to offer. The series stood out for its intense action, emotional depth and realistic characters thrown into an extraordinary crisis. What Can Viewers Expect in Season 2? All of Us Are Dead belongs to the growing list of Korean dramas that have made a major impact on Netflix, joining the likes of Sweet Home and Squid Game, both of which also experienced multi-year gaps between seasons. Interestingly, Si-eun Kim and Jae-won Roh—two of the new additions to Season 2—were also recently cast in Squid Game Season 2. The next chapter of All of Us Are Dead is expected to delve deeper into lingering mysteries, including the fate of the hybrid 'halfbie" characters and what the surviving Hyosan students will face now that they've escaped the school. Production on All of Us Are Dead Season 2 is slated to begin next month. While there's no confirmed release date just yet, fans can revisit the first season now streaming on Netflix as the countdown to Season 2 finally begins. First Published: June 26, 2025, 18:28 IST
