All of Us are Dead Season 2: From Squid Game actors to new faces — Netflix unveils cast, synopsis of zombie K-drama
Not just the announcement of All of Us Dead Season 2, the OTT platform has also released the lineup and official synopsis of the much awaited series—and it looks like the apocalypse is about to get even more intense.
For the second season of All of Us are Dead, some familiar faces won't be returning, but plenty of new ones are stepping in.
Two Squid Game actors —Kim Si Eun and Roh Jae Won—join the cast, along with Lee Min Jae (Weak Hero: Class 2) and Yoon Ga I (Undercover High School). These new characters have been specially created to fit the sequel's evolved storyline and timeline.
As for fan favorites: yes, Cheong San (Yoon Chan Young), who was last seen in a precarious state, is back. So is Nam Ra (Cho Yi Hyun), the half-zombie who disappeared into the wilderness, and Su Hyeok (Lomon), the loyal fighter with a heart.
Netflix has still not officially revaled the release date for All of Us are Dead Season 2.
Based on Joo Dong Geun's webtoon, the first season racked up a jaw-dropping 560 million viewing hours in its debut month, landing in the list of Netflix's Top 10 across more than 90 countries. Season 2 now shifts gears, putting the spotlight on Nam On Jo (played by returning lead Park Ji Hu), who's traded her high school uniform for university life—but the undead chaos isn't done with her yet.
Set in Seoul, All of Us are Dead Season 2 continues the story of Nam On-Jo, portrayed by Park Ji-Hu, who is now a university student haunted by the lingering trauma of past events.
All of Us Are Dead Season 2 is once again directed by Lee JQ and Kim Nam-su, with the script by returning writer Chun Sung-il.

Mary Kills People premiere shocks K-drama fans with euthanasia and same-sex themes
MBC's bold new drama Mary Kills People wasted no time making waves. Premiering on August 1, the series dove headfirst into two big taboo topics: euthanasia and underage same-sex attraction - both tackled within its very first episode. Veteran actress Lee Bo-young stars as Woo So-jung, an ER doctor who moonlights as a secret angel of death for terminally ill patients. Adapted from the Canadian series of the same name, the Korean remake reimagines the morally gray original with a culturally specific twist - one that's already igniting debate across Korean social media. Euthanasia enters the K-drama spotlight The opening sequence sets the tone: a gravely ill man named Choi Kang-yoon (played by special guest Lee Sang-yoon) calmly declares his intent to die. "This is my choice, and I feel happy and satisfied at this moment," he says, raising a glass of champagne dosed with pentobarbital. "How long will it take?" he asks. Woo So-jung's reply is emotionless: "Usually, it ends in an instant." And just like that -he's gone. Queer-coded teens raise eyebrows But the episode doesn't stop there. A provocative subplot features So-jung's teenage niece Jae-yeon (Kim Sang-ji) and her friend Woo-mi (Kang Na-eon), who spend a sleepover sharing moments that blur the line between platonic and romantic. "My mom thinks it's totally safe if it's just girls," Woo-mi scoffs. "She thinks she knows everything but knows nothing." The tension builds as the girls exchange lingering glances and tender compliments, including Woo-mi telling Jae-yeon, "Your eyes are really pretty." Pushing the boundaries of primetime From assisted dying to queer-coded adolescent intimacy, Mary Kills People is making it clear: this isn't your average K-drama. The premiere has already sparked fierce online discussion - some praising its plot while others are calling it deeply uncomfortable. Regardless of the views of K-drama fans, Mary Kills People has started a conversation Korea wasn't ready to have - but can no longer ignore. Episode 2 airs August 2 at 10 PM KST on MBC. For viewers abroad, fans can watch it on Prime Video. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
