Fans of Netflix’sAll of Us Are Deadare not happy with how long season 2 is taking to come out. A big-budget Korean production starring up-and-coming actors,All of Us Are Deadpremiered on June 06, 2025, and gave Netflix its next K-drama hit following the massive success ofSquid Gamea few months earlier. However, whereasSquid Gameis about to conclude with season 3,All of Us Are Deadseason 2doesn’t even have a release date yet.
Those who watch a lot ofK-dramas on Netflixare more than used to shows taking years between seasons.Sweet Homeseason 2 took three years, which was the same window between the first and second seasons ofSquid Game. However,All of Us Are Deadis now expected to premiere in 2026, meaning we will have endured a four-year hiatus by the time the show finally comes back. The wait has been quite frustrating, even more so because we don’t even have a trailer.
The Hiatus Has Been Frustrating For Fans Of The Show
On one of the manyRedditthreads about the status ofAll of Us Are Dead, usersohonicetomeetyouexpressed their frustration over the lack of updates on season 2, saying,“Wish we had a date.” A different Reddit user,Excellent_Chance8461, commented thatAll of Us Are Deadis one of their favorite shows, but given how long season 2 is taking, they are not even sure they will care about the series once it comes back. Useroddlywolfexpressed similar concerns, commenting,“I don’t even want it anymore"if Yoo In-soo, currently on military service, is not on season 2.
Other users also pointed out howthe K-drama might struggle to portray its characters as high schoolers, considering how long it has been since filming on season 1 wrapped. Those are just some of the questions and concernsAll of Us Are Deadfans have been dealing with since the show was officially renewed for season 2 in June 2022.
AlthoughNetflix’s biggest original shows are taking longer than ever to release new episodes, it’s been three years since we had any substantial news on thezombie K-drama,apart from the fact that filming was reportedly delayed from 2024 to 2025. While there was a four-month time skip toward the end ofAll of Us Are Deadseason 1, it’s unclear whether season 2 will have a significant time jump. With no trailer for season 2, it’s difficult to say in which directionAll of Us Are Dead's story is heading.
Season 2 May Need To Include A Time Skip
All of Us Are Dead’s hiatuswill certainly affect season 2 in a few ways, even if not so much in terms of the plot. Firstly,having a time skip between seasons 1 and 2 would be the best way to explain why the characters look different.This is something thatSweet Homealso did between its first and second seasons, which helped the show address why some of its younger characters, including children, now looked much older.
All of Us Are Deadseason 2 may have a difficult time reconnecting with audiences, especially the ones who just casually watched the show in 2022. While fans who have been following all updates will need no convincing to binge the K-drama once it returns, the marketing forAll of Us Are Deadseason 2 might have to recap the show’s premise and reintroduce the characters for a wider audience. Hopefully, after such a long wait,All of Us Are Deadseason 2 can be as good and successful as the first season.
