Nearly four years after Netflix premiered All Of Us Are Dead, the Korean zombie thriller is back with its second season. Reports say production is finished, the original lead cast is returning, and this time the story is heading to Seoul.
Netflix’s All Of Us Are Dead premiered on January 28, 2022. Only days after its release, it became one of the streaming platform’s biggest Korean hits. The 12-episode zombie thriller recorded 560.78 million viewing hours within its first 28 days. This prompted Netflix to announce a second season on June 6, 2022.
However, the second season has taken a long time than expected. Production was delayed, casting plans changed, and the series was absent from Netflix's announced 2026 Korean lineup.
Now, with filming reportedly completed in February 2026, the second season could finally be on the way.
Here is everything known about All of Us Are Dead Season 2, including its expected release date, returning actors, new characters and the mystery surrounding Lee Cheong-san.
All Of Us Are Dead Season 2: When Will It Release?

According to a report by What’s on Netflix, All Of Us Are Dead Season 2 is expected around January or February 2027.
