All of Us Are Dead Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

Following the phenomenal global reception of its first season, "All of Us Are Dead," the K-drama based on a zombie apocalypse, is set to return with a much-anticipated second season.

This series, known for its gripping narrative and complex characters, left viewers on edge at the end of Season 1, leading to rampant speculation and excitement for its continuation.

In a detailed interview with The Korea Herald, Director Lee Jae-kyoo discussed his strategic approach to the first season, which was deliberately designed to set the stage for a sequel.

Lee explained, "We created many scenes, settings, and introduced new zombie races in the first season with a clear intention to expand our storyline into Season 2. Many directions, settings, and scenes were intentionally produced to expand the story into an additional season, including the introduction of the new races of zombies."

Lee said, referring to the hybrid zombies introduced in the show's second half. He added, "If the initial season was about humanity's struggle to survive, the next will explore the survival dynamics among evolved zombies."

All of Us Are Dead Season 2 promises to escalate the horrors of the zombie apocalypse as it moves the setting from the confined spaces of Hyosan High School to a broader, devastated urban landscape.

Lee hinted at a significant evolution in the zombies, "Season 2 will feature more powerful and evolved zombies, transforming Seoul into a fallen city where new rules apply. If the first season can be seen as having presented humanity's survival, the next season can talk about the survival of zombies."

The survival of key characters like On-jo (Park Ji-hu), Su-hyeok (Park Solomon), and several others offers continuity, while the return of Yoon Chan-young as Cheong-san, despite his presumed death, suggests intriguing plot twists, possibly involving flashbacks or other narrative devices. New cast additions have not been detailed, but Lee emphasized that fresh faces would be crucial to the evolving story.

Reflecting on the character trajectories, Lee mentioned, "We are set to explore complex character developments, especially focusing on the hybrids—zombies who maintain human traits. One pivotal character, Choi Nam-ra, demonstrates this hybridization, retaining her humanity while harboring zombie-like powers, which will be crucial to the plot in Season 2."
