The Netflix series 'All of Us Are Dead,' which has written a new history for K-zombie narratives and created a sensation, begins its second story.
'All of Us Are Dead' depicts the desperate struggle of students isolated in the school where the zombie virus began, based on the legendary webtoon by author Joo Dong-geun, marking a milestone in the 'K-zombie survival' genre and exciting global fans. The fight for survival in a school turned into a zombie den, the friendship and love nurtured in extreme situations as they protect each other, and the inventive and diverse actions unfolding throughout the school maximized the genre's thrill, receiving critical acclaim. In particular, it achieved the remarkable feat of entering the global TOP 10 series (non-English) immediately upon release and made a splash with a cumulative 560.78 million viewing hours recorded 28 days after its release.
Returning with an expanded worldview and scale, 'All of Us Are Dead' season 2 will depict the moment when everything seems to have ended and people returned to everyday life when a new zombie virus engulfs Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Director Lee Jae-kyoo and writer Chun Sung-il, who successfully turned 'All of Us Are Dead' into a global hit, are once again joining forces to heighten fans' expectations.
Above all, expectations are high for the performances of the actors returning even stronger. Park Ji-hu, who showcased a diverse acting spectrum in films 'Concrete Utopia,' 'Midnight,' and the drama 'Hospital Playlist,' returns as the now stronger 'On-jo.' As one of the few survivors of the zombie incident at Hyosan High School who has entered university, he faces misfortune again while trying to forget the nightmares of the past during peaceful days. As attention focuses on how 'Cheong-san,' who struggled to protect his friends last season, will continue to showcase his abilities, the comeback of Yoon Chan-young, who became widely recognized by starring in various works such as 'Hyper Knife,' 'I Became a High School Student,' and 'Delivery Man,' amplifies anticipation.
Cho Yi-hyun, who received great love for dramas 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy,' 'Marriage Battle,' and 'Hospital Playlist,' still passionately portrays the strong anti-infected 'Nam-ra.' Roman, who has become a noteworthy actor through dramas such as 'Branding in Seongsu-dong' and 'Family Planning,' returns as 'Soo-hyeok,' who harbors feelings for Nam-ra.
The addition of new actors also makes 'All of Us Are Dead' season 2 even more anticipated. Lee Min-jae, who shuffled between films and series such as the Netflix series 'Weak Hero Class 2' and the Netflix movie 'The Lastbod,' will play 'Maru,' On-jo's university senior. Rookie Kim Si-eun, who grabbed attention by sweeping the newcomer award at domestic film festivals with the movie 'Next So-hee' and was noted for the Netflix series 'Squid Game' season 2, will portray 'Juran,' a trendy university student involved in the student council and clubs, showcasing a different charm.
'All of Us Are Dead' season 2, which has confirmed its casting and begun filming, can only be seen on Netflix.
