After what has felt like an eternity for its dedicated fanbase, the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s hit South Korean zombie thriller, “All of Us Are Dead,” is finally gearing up for production. New reports confirm that filming is slated to begin in **Summer 2025**, with a projected schedule running from August through December of this year. This long-awaited news comes after a period of relative silence since the show’s swift renewal following its immensely popular debut in January 2022, reigniting excitement for the return of the undead chaos that captivated viewers worldwide.
The significant delay between seasons can be largely attributed to a crucial narrative shift for the series. The first season comprehensively adapted the entirety of the original webtoon, “Now at Our School,” by Joo Dong-geun. This means that Season 2 will be venturing into uncharted territory, developing an entirely new storyline beyond the source material. This expansion into original content undoubtedly required extensive planning and development time, explaining the lengthy wait for production to commence. Fans can expect a fresh and unpredictable continuation of the story, as the series moves beyond the familiar confines of Hyosan High School.
While exact plot details for the upcoming season are still under wraps, several key cast members are expected to reprise their roles. Park Ji-hu as Nam On-jo, Yoon Chan-young as Lee Cheong-san (despite his ambiguous fate in Season 1, his appearance in the Season 2 announcement video strongly suggests his return), Cho Yi-hyun as Choi Nam-ra, and Lomon (Park Solomon) as Lee Su-hyeok are all anticipated to return. Given the shift to original content, it’s also highly probable that Season 2 will introduce a host of new characters, expanding the scope of the zombie outbreak and exploring new settings and perspectives as the aftermath unfolds. The undead chaos is indeed coming back, and likely stronger and more expansive than ever.
