Fans of the popular Netflix series All of Us Are Dead are in for a long wait. The second season of the show, a thrilling zombie drama, will not arrive until 2026. This delay means viewers will experience the longest gap ever between seasons of a Netflix original series.
Longest Wait Ever
Reports from Star News indicate that season two of All of Us Are Dead, initially expected in 2025, is now pushed back to 2026. This four-year gap between the first and second seasons is unprecedented for Netflix. While other popular shows like Squid Game and Stranger Things have also faced delays, none have had such a lengthy break in production. Even Blood of Zeus, another series known for its hiatus, does not compare to this extended period.
The reason for this significant delay is said to be due to various production challenges. Although details about these hurdles are not fully disclosed, fans are left to anticipate the show’s return patiently.
Production Timeline Shift
In April 2024, Film Monster CEO Park Chul-soo mentioned that filming for season two was planned to begin in 2024. The initial aim was to release the season in 2025, albeit with a delay. However, later reports from Star News revealed a further change in plans. To ensure a higher quality production, the filming start was moved to 2025. This decision ultimately shifted the expected premiere date to 2026.
Adding to the confirmation of the delay, Netflix did not include All of Us Are Dead season two in its promotional plans for 2025. This absence in the lineup strongly suggests that fans will indeed have to wait until 2026 to see the continuation of the zombie saga.
Success Despite Delay
Despite the extended wait for the new season, All of Us Are Dead remains a significant success for Netflix. It stands as the second most-watched Korean original series on the platform, only surpassed by the global phenomenon Squid Game. The series gained immense popularity after its release, especially around the Lunar New Year holiday in Korea.
The show is praised for its compelling storyline and intense narrative. It portrays a group of high school students trapped in their school during a sudden zombie outbreak. They are forced to fight for their survival in terrifying circumstances. Beyond the zombie horror, the series also delves into important social issues that resonate with students not only in South Korea but around the world.
Based on Webtoon
All of Us Are Dead is adapted from the webtoon Jigeum Woori Hakgyoneun created by Joo Dong-geun. The series features a cast including Park Ji Hu, Yoon Chan Young, Cho Yi Hyun, Lomon, Yoo In Soo, Lee Yoo Mi, Kim Byung Chul, Lee Kyu Hyung, and Jeon Bae Soo.
While the long delay might frustrate some viewers, Netflix seems unconcerned about viewer patience. The platform appears to believe that the anticipation will only heighten the excitement for the eventual return of All of Us Are Dead. Fans can only hope that the wait will be worth it when season two finally premieres in 2026.
