Production of YA Zombie Series All of Us Are Dead Season 2 Is Now Underway
Netflix has officially greenlit production on Season 2 of All of Us Are Dead, the world-breaking South Korean YA zombie horror that swept the globe in 2022. Based on Joo Dong-geun's hit webtoon, the show became one of the biggest non-English hits ever on Netflix, receiving massive global buzz and a passionate fanbase eager for more. A Global Breakout Hit Returns When All of Us Are Dead premiered, it accumulated over 560 million hours watched in its first 28 days, a mammoth amount that placed it on Netflix's Top 10 most-viewed non-English shows of all time. It also entered the Top 10 in more than 90 countries, proving that its mix of horror, emotion, and high school angst had real global appeal. Now, production has commenced officially for Season 2 with familiar faces returning and new ones joining as the zombie apocalypse begins to spread outside Hyosan. Returning Survivors and Emerging Threats Back in their Season 1 roles are Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, and Lomon, who took on the central group of students who survived the zombie apocalypse at Hyosan High. They are now confronting a chilling new installment after their lives were forever changed during the frightening events of the first season. Season 2 begins with Nam On-jo (Park Ji-hu) a university student in Seoul, where she is still haunted by the trauma and loss of her high school days. But with a new outbreak of infections hitting the city, she again finds herself struggling to survive, this time with no friends by her side. Yoon Chan-young's Lee Cheong-san, Cho Yi-hyun's Choi Nam-ra, and Lomon's Lee Su-hyeok come back with new storylines, each handling the impact of the first outbreak differently. A New Generation of Survivors Season 2 introduces a new set of cast members which include: Lee Min-jae (Weak Hero: Class 2) as Yong Ma-ru Kim Si-eun (Squid Game Season 2) as So Ju-ran Roh Jae-won (Squid Game Seasons 2 & 3) as Han Du-seok Yoon Ga-i as Lee Jong-a These new characters, a majority of which are university students, have managed to weather the zombie-ridden world with creative and desperate means. On-jo's dynamics with her seniors provide a new emotional layer, while Han Du-seok, as a team leader with the National Intelligence Service, provides political intrigue and action-packed suspense to the plot. Behind the Scenes: Creative Team and Production Season 2 is once more directed by director Lee JQ (Daily Dose of Sunshine) and co-director Kim Nam-su, with Chun Sung-il serving the series' writer role again. Chun, who is also the writer of King the Land, brings back his special talent of including character building in survival art at high stakes. FILM MONSTER Co., Ltd takes charge of the production along with SLL Joongang Co., Ltd, KIMJONGHAK PRODUCTION Co., Ltd, and NPIO Entertainment Co., Ltd. What's Next for the All of Us Are Dead Universe? As the infection spreads from the little town of Hyosan to the city of Seoul, Season 2 can only bring more epic scale, deeper character development, and more intense survival horror. With its existing cast and a new shot of faces injected into it, stakes are higher than ever before, and so is the hype. Fans can expect new interpretations of the zombie genre as All of Us Are Dead continue to mix social commentary, teen drama, and nail-biting action in a quintessentially Korean fashion. Season 2 is yet to be announced, but with production already in motion, the walking dead will be back again soon enough.

Netflix fans 'can't wait' as Korean thriller set to rival Squid Game gets huge update
The tense Korean Netflix series may well appeal to fans of Squid Game, which recently came to an end. Netflix fans are saying 'about time' and 'finally' as the streaming giant has confirmed production has started for season 2 of one of its biggest Korean dramas. Following the conclusion of Squid Game, which is Netflix's most-watched show of all time, fans of the thriller are urged to check out another popular Korean series. The sci-fi show, which is returning for a second season after first premiering in 2022, has ranked among Netflix 's Top 10 most-watched non-English series of all time. Titled All of Us Are Dead, the thriller series has been billed as a 'catastrophic coming-of-age story in which teens at Hyosan High band together to survive a zombie outbreak'. The official Netflix synopsis reads: 'A high school becomes ground zero for a zombie virus outbreak. Trapped students must fight their way out — or turn into one of the rabid infected.' After season one scored an impressive 89% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, All of Us Are Dead is making a triumphant comeback. Netflix shared the exciting production update earlier today, posting on X: 'All of Us Are Dead Season 2 is NOW IN PRODUCTION. 'Starring Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, Lomon, Lee Min-jae, Kim Si-eun, Roh Jae-won, and Yoon Ga-i.' Taking to the comments, fans expressed their excitement over the news after what has felt like a long wait. There were plenty of comments like 'FINALLY', 'CAN'T WAIT' and 'ABOUT TIME'. 'WHATTTT ARE YOU KIDDING ME,' one fan enthused, as another chimed in: 'Here we go… It's about time!' 'All of Us are Dead WAITINGGG,' one viewer quipped, as one more wrote: 'Love it. Season 1 was so refreshing. Great story and love the hype that some of these super zombies might bring.' Yet another person remarked: 'Zombie apocalypse incoming! Can't wait to see what happens next. Park Ji-hu and team bringing serious drama this season.' All of Us Are Dead, based on the 2009 webtoon of the same name by Joo Dong-geun, was watched over 474.26 million hours in its first 30 days on Netflix. It also received largely positive reviews from critics, with Caroline Framke of Variety writing: 'Like Squid Game before it, All of Us Are Dead makes the most out of its nightmarish central location to otherworldly, dizzying effect.' Brad Newsome of the Sydney Morning Herald expressed: 'This stunning Korean series shows that it's still possible to make compelling, imaginative, thought-provoking and hugely entertaining zombie splatter more than a decade after The Walking Dead spawned an unending genre glut.' The Daily Beast's Nick Schager wrote: 'This 12-part South Korean Netflix series about zombies invading a high school is gruesome, thrilling, and highly addictive.' However, not everyone was impressed, with IndieWire's Steve Greene writing: 'It's delivered in an oddly-paced season that fights against an intuitive structure as much as these students try to beat back chomps from throngs of kids in uniforms.'
