Netflix’s hit Korean drama "All of Us Are Dead" is moving closer to its second chapter following a hugely successful debut. The original season accumulated 124.79 million hours viewed in its first three days and surpassed 474.2 million hours within 30 days, ranking number one in over 60 countries for three consecutive weeks. Netflix officially renewed the show on June 6, 2022.
What's new
Following script completion and casting in 2025, cameras began rolling on July 23, 2025, and wrapped on February 19, 2026. The eight-episode installment has entered post-production, focusing on editing, visual effects, CGI, and sound design. While some speculate a late 2026 release, the season is anticipated to land in early 2027, likely around January or February. Specific launch dates are not specified in the source; please check the official notice.
What to expect
Season 2 expands beyond the ruins of Hyosan High School, centering much of its story in Seoul. Seoul National University will serve as a prominent setting, with Nam On-jo navigating life as a college student. However, a transformed and more dangerous viral outbreak spreads across the capital, presenting greater dangers to the survivors. The narrative will also place significant focus on "hambies"—half-human, half-zombie individuals—giving Choi Nam-ra a larger role as the story investigates their connection to the virus.
