Netflix has officially announced the start of production for the second season of the Korean zombie thriller series All of Us Are Dead.

The streaming platform posted a teaser video on Instagram along with the caption, “Just when you thought you were back to normal life, a new zombie virus swallows Seoul. 'All of Us Are Dead' season two in production”.

The young-adult survival horror series, based on the popular webtoon by Joo Dong-geun, became a global sensation when it debuted in 2022. Within just 28 days of its release, it amassed over 560 million viewing hours.

Set in a high school overtaken by a zombie virus outbreak, the first season followed a group of students battling for survival. The upcoming season picks up after the catastrophic events at Hyosan High, with the infection spreading to the capital city, Seoul.

Returning cast members for the next instalment include Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, and Lomon, who reprise their roles as the original survivors. Joining them in the second chapter are Lee Min-jae, Yoon Ga-i, and Squid Game actors Kim Si-eun and Roh Jae-won.

“After surviving the catastrophic zombie outbreak at Hyosan High, Nam On-jo, played by Park Ji-hu, is now a university student in Seoul, struggling to move on from the trauma and the friends she lost. But when a new wave of infection suddenly hits Seoul, she finds herself trapped in another deadly fight for survival — this time without the people she once depended on,” the official logline of the second season reads.

The new season will once again be directed by Lee JQ and Kim Nam-su, who were at the helm of the first installment. The screenplay is penned by Chun Sung-il.
