The ending of All Of Us Are Dead sets up a potential season 2 for the harrowing K-drama, and here's all the news and updates for the series we know to date. First released on January 28, 2022, Netflix's All Of Us Are Dead blends a coming-of-age drama in a South Korean school with apocalyptic zombie horror. 

Initial critical response has been overwhelmingly positive for the Netflix series, receiving particular praise for its compelling cast performances in the weeks following its release and prompting calls to see a second season of All Of Us Are Dead.

The majority of All Of Us Are Dead occurs at Hyosan High School, where students of class 2-5 are forced to battle a zombie horde following a mysterious virus outbreak. 

All Of Us Are Dead certainly does not dwell on sentimentality, with the Netflix series killing characters left and right as the undead begin to get the upper hand against the Hyosan students.

This tense battle for survival, coupled with All Of Us Are Dead's clear allegories with contemporary culture, form a highly entertaining Korean drama that has left many audiences wanting to see more from the Netflix series.

As reported by Forbes, All Of Us Are Dead topped Netflix's TV show charts in every territory except the U.S. during its second week on the streaming platform — highlighting the series' clear popularity.

All Of Us Are Dead's streaming performance also shows a clear uptick in Western appetite for quality K-dramas after Squid Game's rampant success in 2021. Here's everything we know about All Of Us Are Dead season 2, including the latest news and updates regarding the South Korean coming-of-age horror.

Will All Of Us Are Dead Season 2 Happen?

While All Of Us Are Dead season 2 appears to be a certainty for Netflix after its instant success on the platform; its future is more complicated in the short term.

The first factor here is that Netflix's All Of Us Are Dead season 1 has burned through the entirety of its source material, a webtoon named Now at Our School by Joo Dong-Geun, meaning any future ideas for a second season would have to be from scratch.

Another wrinkle to consider is that the vast majority of K-dramas only run for one season, meaning All Of Us Are Dead would need to buck this genre trend (much as Squid Game has done). So far, there has been no official word from Netflix on whether All Of Us Are Dead season 2 will happen, although the show's rampant popularity ensures a second season cannot be ruled out.

Although there is no official confirmation for All Of Us Are Dead season 2, the Netflix K-drama's season 1 ending sets up several narrative avenues for the series to go in. 

The surviving characters end Season 1 gathered around a "friendship campfire" after being left by the military, meaning their respective stories as they return to inspect Hyosan High could act as a perfect jumping-off point for All Of Us Are Dead Season 2. 

The first season also ends by showing the impact of the virus in Hyosan by jumping four months forward in time, meaning All Of Us Are Dead season 2 could widen its scope and tell the story of the whole city battling the zombie outbreak in a less insular format.

All Of Us Are Dead Season 2 Cast: Which Characters Are Still Alive

As the Netflix series title suggests, the vast majority of its characters do not survive All Of Us Are Dead season 1, including the heartbreaking death of Cheong-san (Yoon Chan-young)

. Of the named Hyosan High students, only On-jo (Park Ji-hu), Su-hook (Park Solomon), Dae-su (Im Jae-hyuk), Ha-ri (Ha Seung-ri), Mi-jin (Lee Eun-same), and Hyo-Kyung (Kim Bo-yoon) live to fight another day. Nam-ra (Cho Yi-hyun) also survives as a "hambie" (a half-human half-zombie), although now lives in the abandoned city in fear of being pursued by the military.

All Of Us Are Dead Season 2 Release Date Prediction

At the time of writing, there is no release date set for All Of Us Are Dead season 2. All Of Us Are Dead season 1 took two years to produce, indicating that any potential second season for the show would not air until 2024 at the earliest.

This being said, there has been no official confirmation for All Of Us Are Dead season 2, meaning audiences will have to wait and see whether Netflix renews its latest K-drama hit.
