Director Lee Jae-kyoto reveals plans for All of Us are Dead season 2

The new Netflix K-drama series, All of Us are Dead, has been trending since it premiered on January 28, 2022. The bloodthirsty Korean zombie drama has received positive feedback from viewers and netizens are wanting more episodes to stream.

As soon as the series topped Netflix's list of shows, director Lee shared a few of his future plans for the series. He stated:

"If season 1 continues to be popular in the long run, I think it will be the foothold for the second season. I personally want to make a season 2 but there is nothing solid or confirmed officially."

On January 7, 2022, director Lee Jae-kyoo had an online interview with media outlet Wikitree. In his interview, Lee shared ideas and details that he would like to incorporate in season 2 of the coming-of-age horror series. He explained:

"If season 1 showed a comparison and contrast in how adults and students survive the zombie apocalypse, I want to show the comparison between the surviving human group and the zombie group in season 2."

After streaming the eleventh episode of season 1, fans were heartbroken and disappointed to see the lead male character, Lee Cheong-san, fall to his death. The episode shows Cheong-san being bitten by Gwi-Nam, who is neither a zombie nor a human. In order to save others from a looming zombie doom, he rushes into the construction building to give others time to escape.

In relation to episode 11, Lee Jae-kyoo explained:

"If Cheong-san were to come alive, I think there will be viewers who won't be able to accept that but also there are going to be fans who are happy about it. We have a definite plan, but it's difficult to share it here, now."

He further added:

"I do have a vague picture that I drew out imagining what would happen if all the other actors, including Cheong-san, were to appear in Season 2. I definitely want to add more plot twists than season 1."

Lee also shared his deep affection for the character Lee Cheong-san and stated that he cried while filming this particular scene in All of Us are Dead.

"When I was watching Cheong-san die through the monitor, I cried a lot. It really hurt my heart that he made the choice he did when he was a kid who reppressed his inner feelings. I was proud of him but also so sad when he said, 'I am the happiest guy in this school,' as he comforted himself."
