Ever since the enormous success of All of Us are Dead Season 1, viewers have always been on their toes regarding the renewal of Season 2. However, they did not have to wait any longer owing to Netflix’s official announcement about season renewal at the Netflix Geeked Week event. Not only that, but quite surprisingly, the series has also begun its pre-production. Continue to read the article to check what we know so far.
However, before we begin with the nitty-gritty of the season renewal, let’s do a quick overview of the series for the unversed.
A zombie horror, All of Us Are Dead is a Netflix Original South Korean drama that is written by Chun Sung-il. It is inspired by Joo Dong-geun’s webtoon, Now at Our School. Directed by Lee Jae Gyoo and produced by Kim Jong-hak Production and Film Monster, the series begins when a zombie virus wreaks havoc in a school, trapping a group of students inside who are trying hard to battle against the friends-turned-zombie coterie.
It is more thrilling when you watch it. Check out the riveting trailer of the series below:
Has All of Us Are Dead Season 2 officially been renewed?
According to its last update on June 6, 2022, All of Us Are Dead Season 2 is renewed. It was revealed on Day 1 of the Netflix Geeked Week.
Not only that, but Netflix also released a video that included the cast of All of Us Are Dead, declaring All of Us Are Dead Season 2 renewal. This comes off as a good surprise since the director of the series had previously announced that there will be no season 2 of the series.
Hinting at the possible plotline of season 2, the director told the HypeBeast KR, “If Season 1 was a survival period for humans, there is a sense of humour, but Season 2 feels like it will be a survival period for zombies.”
When did All of Us Are Dead Season 2 begin its production?
According to What’s on Netflix, All of Us Are Dead Season 2 began its pre-production processes on July 13, 2022. The shooting schedule is not out yet, however one can predict that the shooting can begin somewhere in a few months.
What is the need for All of Us Are Dead Season 2?
Unlike the plethora of fans who are deeply anticipating a second season, some critics find there is no real need for producing All of Us Are Dead Season 2. That’s because in season 1 only a few students survive Hyosan High school while a majority of people were turned into zombies and they in turn were strategically bombed by the Korean military. These few survivors are now living in a refugee camp, waiting for the military’s cue to return home safely. Unless the new season begins with a new outbreak.
Or the season magnifies on Nam-Ra, who interestingly did not succumb to the virus even after being infected by it. She was not only able to stay human but also gain new strength and endurance after being infected by the virus.
The new season could possibly focus more on zombie hybrids like Nam-Ra, with questionable identities that can counteract anytime in the series.
No matter what the storyline is, we are certain All of Us Are Dead Season 2 will be equally gripping and thrilling as its predecessor. Keep checking this space for more updates.
