Squid Game may get all the press, but it’s not the only hit Netflix original series coming out of South Korea. All of Us Are Dead also made a splash in 2022 when it premiered on Netflix. The series is based on a webcomic by Joo Dong-geun, and it follows a group of high school students in South Korea who struggle to survive the zombie apocalypse. And spoiler alert… not all of them do.

Netflix is still the streaming home of The Walking Dead, and yet All of Us Are Dead still managed to find an audience of its own and earn a season 2 renewal. Now, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about All of Us Are Dead season 2.

What is the series about?

Zombies! Of course, it’s also about the survivors. But zombies are always the big attraction for shows centered around zombie outbreaks. Patient Zero in this show was Lee Jin-su (Lee Min-goo), a bullied high school student who was the first human infected with the zombie virus. Jin-su’s father, Lee Byeong-chan (Kim Byung-chul), experimented on that virus, and it was unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

Classmates Nam On-jo (Park Ji-hu) and Lee Cheong-san (Yoon Chan-young) are among the main survivors of their high school, and they both harbor romantic feelings for each other. Unfortunately, they only got to share a single kiss before Cheong-san seemingly perished while fighting his rival, Yoon Gwi-nam (Yoo In-soo). Cheong-san was also bitten and infected with the zombie virus by Gwi-nam, which is why he was willing to sacrifice himself for On-jo’s sake.

Who’s returning for All of Us Are Dead season 2?

Although Cheong-san’s death seemed pretty definite in season 1, Yoon Chan-young is prominently featured in the All of Us Are Dead season 2 announcement video from 2022. This indicates that Cheong-san will return in some form. In addition to Park Ji-hu reprising her leading role as Nam On-jo, the rest of the cast includes the following performers:

  • Cho Yi-hyun as Choi Nam-ra
  • Lomon as Lee Su-hyeok
  • Ha Seung-ri as Jang Ha-ri
  • Lee Eun-saem as Park Mi-jin
  • Im Jae-hyuk as Yang Dae-su
  • Kim Bo-yoon as Seo Hyo-ryung

Additionally, actress Roh Yoon-seo has been cast in season 2 as a new character whose identity has not yet been revealed.

The first season ended with the reveal that Nam-ra overcame her infection to become a human/zombie hybrid, and she’s not the only one. This may also be the explanation for Cheong-san’s survival on the show, but we don’t have confirmation of that yet.

While speaking to AllKpop, series director Lee Jae Gyu offered these hints about where season 2 may go.

“If season 1 showed a comparison and contrast in how adults and students survive the zombie apocalypse, I want to show the comparison between the surviving human group and the zombie group in season 2,” said Lee.

When will All of Us Are Dead season 2 premiere?

Netflix has not announced a premiere date for All of Us Are Dead season 2, but it is expected to drop later in 2024. For now, we don’t even have a trailer or preview pictures to go on. But as the series gets closer to its return, you can expect to see all those things and more.

Everything you need to know about Kevin Costner’s Horizon movies

Throughout his long career as a movie star, few people have bet bigger on themselves than Kevin Costner. Dances With Wolves seemed like the kind of bloated vanity project that many Hollywood stars engage in, but it was widely acclaimed and ultimately won Best Picture. Now, Costner is betting big on himself again with a new multi-part western called Horizon. The project also stars Costner, and it seems designed to revive the big-budget Western. Costner is doing this instead of an apparent sixth season of Yellowstone, which he’s been starring in for several years.

"It's really been the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's exactly what I want to do," Costner explained in 2022 during an interview with People. Costner is gambling on this return to the big screen, but what do we actually know about the massive, multipart endeavor?

Everything you need to know about MCU’s Fantastic Four
The cast of "The Fantastic Four."

It's not a coincidence that one of the first Marvel movies announced after Disney purchased 20th Century Fox's entertainment assets in 2019 was a new reboot of The Fantastic Four. In 1961, Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby launched the Marvel Universe as we know it with Fantastic Four #1, and it was the comic that set the tone for everything that came after.

Because the rights to the Fantastic Four were tied up at Fox for the better part of two decades, FF supporting players like Silver Surfer were withheld from the MCU. Now that the characters are firmly under Marvel Studios' control, the sky's the limit for the upcoming reboot. And we're here to share everything we know about The Fantastic Four so far.
