Fans Are Losing Interest: The Frustrating Wait for All Of Us Are Dead Season 2

by

As a devoted movie critic, I can’t help but share my frustration over the delayed arrival of season 2 for Netflix’s gripping series, “All of Us Are Dead.” Having captivated audiences with its high-stakes survival drama, this big-budget Korean production boasts an ensemble of promising new talents that left many craving more after its premiere on January 28, 2022.

Following the unprecedented success of “Squid Game,” it seemed as though Netflix’s K-drama empire was only growing stronger. Yet, unlike our beloved “Squid Game,” which is nearing its conclusion with season 3, the release date for a new chapter in “All of Us Are Dead” remains elusive. The cliffhanger ending of season 1 has left viewers eagerly awaiting any updates about the fate of our resilient heroes and their struggle to survive amidst the chaos that engulfs their high school.

Fans who regularly binge K-dramas on Netflix are well accustomed to long gaps between seasons. For instance, “Sweet Home” waited three years for its second season, mirroring the interval between the first and second seasons of “Squid Game.” However, it looks like “All of Us Are Dead” might premiere in 2026, extending our wait to a total of four years. This prolonged break has been quite trying, especially since we don’t even have a trailer yet to keep us entertained during the wait.

All Of Us Are Dead Fans Are Not Happy About The Wait For Season 2

The Hiatus Has Been Frustrating For Fans Of The Show

In one Reddit discussion about the future of “All of Us Are Dead,” user ‘sohonicetomeetyou’ voiced their disappointment at the lack of a release date for season 2, stating, “It would be nice to know when it’s coming out.” Another Redditor, ‘Excellent_Chance8461,’ shared that they love the show but fear they may lose interest in it if the wait for season 2 continues. User ‘oddlywolf’ echoed these sentiments, expressing doubt about wanting to see season 2 if Yoo In-soo, currently serving in the military, is not involved in it.

Other viewers have noted that, given the time elapsed since production on the first season ended, it could be challenging for the K-drama to convincingly depict its characters as high schoolers. These are some of the issues and doubts that fans of All of Us Are Dead have been grappling with ever since the show was announced for a second season in June 2022.

Despite the fact that Netflix has been taking more time than usual to release new episodes of its flagship original shows, there has been little news about the zombie K-drama for three years now, beyond the report that filming was pushed back from 2024 to 2025. The final season of “All of Us Are Dead” did take a four-month time skip, but it’s uncertain if season 2 will have a large time jump as well. With no trailer for season 2 available yet, we can only speculate about where the storyline of “All of Us Are Dead” might be going next.

How All Of Us Are Dead’s Hiatus Will Affect Season 2

Season 2 May Need To Include A Time Skip

The break in production for “All of Us Are Dead” may influence season 2 in various aspects, not necessarily impacting the storyline directly. One potential solution to explain the physical changes in the characters would be to introduce a time jump between seasons 1 and 2, similar to what was done in “Sweet Home” between its first and second seasons. This method helped that show deal with the fact that some of its younger characters, including children, had grown older in appearance.

It could be challenging for All of Us Are Dead season 2 to resonate with viewers again, particularly those who only casually watched it in 2022. Though devoted fans eagerly awaiting updates will likely dive back into the K-drama without hesitation, marketing for season 2 might need to summarize the series’ plot and reacquaint us with its characters to appeal to a broader audience. Fingers crossed that after such a long delay, All of Us Are Dead season 2 will live up to and surpass the success of the first season.
