All of Us Are Dead Season 2 release date

All of Us Are Dead Season 2 is currently in pre-production, but there has been no official confirmation regarding whether filming has begun or not. It is safe to assume that the second season will not be released before the end of this year. In fact, if filming starts in February, we can expect the release of season 2 in early 2024. This is because most TV series takes about 12 months for filming and editing before they are ready for release.

The expected plotline for All of Us Are Dead Season 2

In All of Us Are Dead Season 2, the focus will remain on the struggle for survival against the zombies. Director Lee Jae-kyoo has made some significant changes in the upcoming season. The director has stated that he refined some characters to make them less violent and murderous to make the series more enjoyable for a wider range of viewers. Here’s what actually he said:

"I think the level of expression in a webtoon is very different from that in a film or drama series. In trying to make our series enjoyable to wide range of people, I definitely refined some characters and made them look less violent and murderous, including Gwi-nam and Na-yeon," Lee Jae-kyoo said (via the Korea Herald).

"It has been more than 30 years since I graduated high school. The original webtoon series began in 2009. I think 10 years is enough time for everything around us to change. I carefully monitored the expressions and behaviors of high school students today, though it was not easy. Some actions and expressions of today’s students were very difficult to comprehend in the mind of an adult. We carefully communicated with the actors, who were high school students themselves, to confirm these parts," the director said.

Lee Jae-kyoo has hinted that All of Us Are Dead Season 2 may explore the possibility of the virus spreading to Japan, but it is unlikely that the entire story will move overseas as the show is a South Korean production.

In addition, All of Us Are Dead Season 2 may delve into the threat posed by the hybrids, like Nam-ra, who can use the virus to their advantage while still retaining some humanity, making them a danger to those around them due to their insatiable hunger for human flesh. Lee has also expressed his hope that the series will inspire viewers to engage in self-reflection, and this theme is expected to continue in the new season.

"The origin of [the] zombie virus was introduced in the series as an attempt to highlight the people who take responsibility and those who do not when an event, such as school violence, occurs. Though it is another zombie action thriller, I thought the series provides the viewers with a chance to think about what kind of people they are," he said.

At the moment, there is no trailer or release date available for All of Us Are Dead Season 2. We will provide you with the latest updates on the South Korean series as soon as they become available.
