The second season of Netflix's hit Korean YA zombie thriller "All of Us Are Dead" is now in production. The series is based on Joo Dong-geun's web comic, and the first season dealt with teenagers trapped in a high school fighting to survive a zombie virus outbreak. The second season will shift focus to university-aged protagonist Nam On-jo (returning star Park Ji-hu), who is 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.
New additions to the cast include Lee Min-jae ("Weak Hero: Class 2"), Kim Si-eun ("Squid Game" Season 2), and Yoon Ga-i as a trio of battle-hardened university seniors who have developed their own survival strategies. Roh Jae-won ("Squid Game" Seasons 2 and 3) also joins the cast as 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 (Park Solomon), as they confront the challenges of post-outbreak life while facing the resurgence of the infection.
Directors Lee JQ ("Daily Dose of Sunshine") and Kim Nam-su return to helm the new season with a script penned by returning writer Chun Sung-il ("King the Land").
"All of Us Are Dead" Season 1 was a huge international success, 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.
