With the Jonas virus continually growing, the show's open ending sets up a lot of potential for season 2. As seen with Nam-ra, this particular variant can control their urge to kill ... but only to a certain extent, which means they cannot assimilate into ordinary society. But there's humanity left in them, and they can suppress their urges, which should count for something, right? As the science teacher who made the virus explained in his experiment tapes, creating a vaccine is impossible. So, how do these hybrids move on? Are they subjected to a life of isolation forever?
"All Of Us Are Dead" director Lee Jae-kyoo is very keen to explore a second season. He has some ideas to continue the story and admitted to having "intentionally" made room for more. Lee shared his hopes for a second season in conversation with The Korea Herald:

All of Us Are Dead is South Korea's latest entry into its excellent, escalating body of undead mayhem (Train to Busan, #Alive). A zombie outbreak series (mostly) set within the carnage-filled classrooms, hallways, and stairwells of a multi-storied high school, All of Us Are Dead pulls no punches and unleashes a savage and seemingly never-ending assault of fast-running zombies on an unfortunate squad of students who've managed to survive the first wave of a zompocalypse. It's clever, thrilling, and also... a bit exhausting.
One of the show's inherent strengths -- which is that it takes its time moving our lead characters from one area to another (sometimes a whole episode will involve them trying to move just 50 feet) -- also leads to repetitive beats later down the road, mid-season. A ton could be trimmed from this tale, especially some of the adjunct stories that focus on other outbreak survivors outside of the school, but overall, the upsides outweigh the sluggishness.
One of the school's bullies, a towering thug named Gwi-nam (Yoo In-soo), incessantly stalks our main characters in one of the more fatiguing elements of the series, but All of Us Are Dead still has a bit of fun playing around with the idea of half-zombies, meaning those whose natural immunity to the virus causes them to transform into something in between the living and dead. If you pace your viewing just right, and break up any potential tedium, the series becomes a unique, effective, and hyper-violent gem.
Season 1 covered most of the source material from the webtoon and ended with class president Nam-ra venturing out to be with other half-zombies like herself. While the webtoon ended with the possibility of the virus spreading to Japan, the intricate details of season two have yet to be released. There are, however, a few educated guesses to be made. As season 1 focused on the survival of humanity, season two could delve into the lives the likes of Nam-ra and those like her, while addressing some of the loose ends we were left with, i.e. the fallout of the mass bombings and the tension between the half zombies and humans.
According to Netflix, All of Us Are Dead debuted in the top 10 most-watched non-English TV series in 91 countries and remained there for two weeks, drawing in 361 million viewing hours in its first 10 days. Season two was announced on June 5 via a Geeked Week video featuring lead cast Yoon Chanyoung, Cho Yihyun, Park Jihu, and Lomon, all confirming season 2 and thanking fans for their continued support.
In addition to Park, Yoon, Cho and Lomon, the series also stars Yoo In-soo, Lee Yoo-mi, Kim Byung-chul, Lee Kyu-hyung and Jeon Bae-soo. The series was adapted from the original webtoon by Chun Sung-il, Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-su, with Chun serving as head writer and Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-su directing the first season.
The one character that the second season could revolve around is Nam-Ra, who after being infected by Gwi-Nam did not succumb to the virus and become a mindless zombie. Instead, Nam-Ra was able to retain her humanity, while also receiving the benefit of the virus which has given her increased strength, endurance, and the ability to survive injuries that would cripple or kill a normal human.
On social media, and on the comments section page of MyAnimeList for the second season there are claims that filming is 50% completed. However, we cannot find any evidence to suggest this is correct, as no sources have been provided to back up these claims.
Behind "All of Us Are Dead" this week was "Ozark," which recently debuted the first part of its fourth and final season, and the Colombian hit telenovela "Café con Aroma de Mujer." The latter isn't available on Netflix in the US, where it airs on Telemundo and streams on Peacock.
While the series is directed by Lee JQ and Kim Nam-su, the screenplay is written by Chun Sung-il. Although not much is known about the new additions to the cast of the upcoming second season, the four actors mentioned earlier are expected to reprise their roles.
We didn't think it was possible for anything to up the Squid Game ante, but Netflix did just that with All of Us Are Dead (now streaming). Molded in the vein of undead horror/thrillers like Train to Busan, which is actually referenced by one of the characters, the latest small screen offering from South Korea follows a group of young students attempting to survive a zombie outbreak.
First, the source material, a WEBTOON comic, has ended. A future season would have to start writing from scratch, and given the fact that the core concept, teenagers escaping from a high school, is over by the time season 2 ends (with spoilers, the high school in ruins), coming up with further ideas may be tougher than if there was still new source material to draw on.
The first season ended with one of the main characters bitten and another presumed dead. Nam-ra, the class president, is now a half-zombie and Cheong-san had been bitten and considered dead by the time the government rescued the rest. After the cliffhanger ending of the first season, the series will pick up from the aftermath of the high school outbreak and see our main characters returning in a bone-chilling second season with stakes higher than the first time.
The open-ended climax of All of Us Are Dead, as well as the majorly positive reactions of viewers, do hint at an early renewal. But it took months for the streamer to officially confirm the swirling rumors about Squid Game Season 2. So, chances are, we will have to wait some time for All of Us Are Dead's second season announcement.
Recently, Netflix confirmed that the South-Korean zombie apocalypse horror series, 'All of Us Are Dead,' will come back with a Season 2. The cast from Season 1 announced the next season of the television series during the Netflix Geeked Week 2022.
Season 1 of All of Us Are Dead premiered earlier this year in January. The season featured a total of twelve episodes, and several people fell in love with the show because of its unique take on the zombie horror genre. The show is based on Joo Dong-geun's Naver Webtoon, Now at our school, which ran from 2009 to 2011. Interestingly, after Squid Game, the live-action adaptation of 'All of Us Are Dead' became Netflix's second Korean series to take the #1 spot in 91 countries. 041b061a72
