It is with a heavy heart that we share the latest news regarding the eagerly anticipated second season of the South Korean zombie horror series “All of Us Are Dead,” based on the acclaimed Naver webtoon by Joo Dong-geun. The series, which garnered praise for its unique world-building, production design, and outstanding cast performances, left fans yearning for more after its initial release. However, a recent update has dashed hopes of a return anytime soon.
Netflix had thrilled fans last year on June 6, 2023, by confirming the renewal of “All of Us Are Dead” for a second season. The positive reception from both critics and viewers undoubtedly played a significant role in the decision to continue the story. With the first season leaving audiences on the edge of their seats, expectations were sky-high for the upcoming installment.
Regrettably, the much-anticipated return of “All of Us Are Dead” will not grace screens this year, adding a hint of gloom to the excitement that had been building among fans. Despite being halfway through the summer schedule and teasing the fall lineup, Netflix has conspicuously omitted any mention of the second season, leaving devoted fans disheartened.
What adds to the disheartenment is the revelation that filming for the second season hasn’t even commenced. A March 2023 interview with Park Ji-hu, conducted by Teen Vogue, unveiled the disheartening truth: “All of Us Are Dead” Season 2 had yet to start production. This revelation has undoubtedly raised concerns among fans eagerly hoping for a 2023 comeback, casting doubt on the series’ return in the near future.
Compounding the delay further are the industry-wide challenges posed by the 2023 Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. These labor disputes have reverberated across the entertainment landscape, causing disruptions in production schedules and leaving even the most highly anticipated projects, like “All of Us Are Dead” Season 2, in limbo.
As disappointment lingers, it becomes clear that the forces beyond the creators’ control have played a significant role in the postponement of the second season. While fans may need to exercise patience as they await the return of their favorite zombie horror series, the fervent hope remains that once these challenges are surmounted, “All of Us Are Dead” will rise from the ashes and continue to captivate audiences with its thrilling narrative and spine-tingling suspense.
