South Korean series fans will be overjoyed: All of Us Are Dead Season 2 is in production. Three years on from its explosive Season 1 release in January 2022, the series is back with another chapter of zombie apocalypse survival.
Netflix released a heart-stopping table-read teaser in July 2025, hinting at familiar characters returning and fresh horrors. The following is a guide to everything we know so far, from cast reunions and narrative direction to production news.
Production Starts & Table-Read Teaser
Netflix unveiled on July 23, 2025, that filming has commenced with a script reading teaser featuring familiar and new faces.
Production began in earnest, which marked the network’s intention to bring bigger terrors and wider vistas beyond Hyosan High. Showrunners Lee JQ and Kim Nam‑su are back to lead the dark, suspenseful tone that enthusiasts adore.
Main survivors, Park Ji‑hu (Nam On‑jo), Yoon Chan‑young (Cheong‑san), Cho Yi‑hyun (Nam‑ra), and Lomon (Su‑hyeok), will be back, resuming post-high-school life in Seoul. Be prepared to see them face trauma and development. Nam‑ra’s hybrid status might bring new virus mutations and threats in an environment of growing threats.
New Faces & Wider Conflict
New allies and enemies will enter the fray. Lee Min‑jae, Kim Si‑eun, Roh Jae‑won, Yoon Ga‑i, and others introduce new dynamics, tongue-in-cheekly referred to as university students and NIS agents fighting epidemics in the city.
Their arrival heralds a broadened scope: Season 2 shifts from school hallways to Seoul streets, escalating stakes in settings and narratives alike.
Season 2 jumps ahead a few years: Nam On-jo attends Seoul University when a fresh zombie outbreak strikes the city.
This change puts old and new characters through new stress, with the virus mutating and putting a much larger group of people at risk. The survivors have more difficult decisions to make, on campus and in the political-military sphere.
High Expectations & Challenges Ahead
Netflix pushed production from 2024 to 2025 to maintain high standards. Post-production and visual effects should carry over into 2026. The initial season gained more than 474 million viewing hours in 30 days, so expectations are high.
Fans want brutal zombie action, character development, and world-building. With the same creative team in place, things are expected, but execution is crucial.
All of Us Are Dead Season 2 promises a grander, darker continuation of a beloved zombie saga. With core survivors returning, fresh characters entering, and a new outbreak setting centred on Seoul University, we’re poised for intense action and deeper character exploration.
As production wraps and editing begins, late 2026 seems like a realistic target for release. For teen horror, emotional trauma, and world-building thrills fans, this next chapter is already looking to deliver the goods, and then some.
