The South Korean zombie thriller All of Us Are Dead took the world by storm with its gripping first season, blending teen drama with high-stakes horror. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about All of Us Are Dead Season 2, from its release date to cast updates and plot hints. Here’s everything we know so far about the next chapter of this Netflix hit.
Release Date Speculation for All of Us Are Dead Season 2
While Netflix confirmed the renewal of All of Us Are Dead for a second season in June 2022, an official release date remains unconfirmed. Initial reports suggested filming might begin in 2024, with a potential premiere in late 2025. However, recent updates indicate production has been delayed, pushing filming to 2025. This likely means All of Us Are Dead Season 2 won’t hit screens until 2026.
All of Us Are Dead Season 2 Expected Cast
The first season’s devastating ending left many characters’ fates uncertain, but several key cast members are confirmed or expected to return for All of Us Are Dead Season 2. Based on the season two announcement video and industry reports, here’s who we might see:
- Park Ji-hu as Nam On-jo, the resilient student navigating loss and survival.
- Yoon Chan-young as Lee Cheong-san, On-jo’s childhood friend whose apparent death shocked fans. His appearance in the announcement video suggests a surprising return, possibly as a hybrid or in flashbacks.
- Cho Yi-hyun as Choi Nam-ra, the half-human, half-zombie class president whose arc promises to deepen.
- Park Solomon (Lomon) as Lee Su-hyeok, the reformed bad boy and Nam-ra’s love interest.
- Im Jae-hyuk as Yang Dae-su, the loyal friend who survived the chaos.
- Ha Seung-ri as Jang Ha-ri, the skilled archer.
- Lee Eun-saem as Park Mi-jin, the tough senior student.
- Kim Bo-yoon as Seo Hyo-ryung, another surviving member of the group.
All of Us Are Dead Season 2 Potential Plot
All of Us Are Dead Season 2 will pick up after the cliffhanger ending of season one, where survivors escaped Hyosan High but faced an uncertain future. The city was bombed to contain the outbreak, yet Nam-ra’s hybrid nature and hints of lingering infection set the stage for more chaos. Here’s what we can anticipate based on director Lee Jae-kyoo’s comments and narrative threads:
- Evolved Zombies and Hybrids: Lee has teased “more powerful and evolved zombies,” including immune and immortal variants. Season two may shift focus from human survival to the zombies’ own “survival period,” exploring their biology and motives.
- Nam-ra’s Journey: As a human-zombie hybrid, Nam-ra’s struggle with her cravings and enhanced abilities will be central. Her reunion with the group on the rooftop hinted at her leading other hybrids, raising questions about her allegiance.
- Cheong-san’s Fate: Fans were heartbroken by Cheong-san’s sacrifice, but Yoon Chan-young’s involvement suggests he’s back—perhaps as a hybrid, a hallucination, or through a narrative twist like a time jump.
- A Fallen Seoul: The outbreak may spread beyond Hyosan to a ravaged Seoul, expanding the scope. Lee has suggested a potential time jump to account for production delays, which could show the characters years later in a transformed world.
