All of Us are Dead is based on a webtoon of the same name, which literally translates to Now At Our School by Joo Dong-geun. The series is directed by Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-su while the screenplay is written by Chun Sung-il.

Netflix did not provide any other details except a coming soon tag. It may be safe to assume that the original directors and writer trio will return to cast magic and horror on screens with All of Us are Dead season 2.

With the original’s incredible run on Netflix, it will be exciting to see how the zombie coming-of-age thriller exceeds the set expectations.
