Production on All of Us Are Dead Season 2 has officially concluded.
Netflix confirmed internally that filming wrapped in mid to late February 2026, with final cast confirmations arriving on February 19. The highly anticipated return of the breakout Korean zombie thriller now enters post-production.
TL;DR
Stranger Things: The First Shadow earned $2.5 million in one week, breaking Broadway’s Marquis Theatre box office record. The surge happened during Stranger Things Season 5’s Netflix debut.
The second season began filming in July 2025 and ran approximately eight months, marking one of the platform’s longer K-drama production cycles in recent years.
Production Timeline and Final Shoot Details
- Filming began: July 2025
- Principal photography wrapped: Early February 2026
- Final cast wrap confirmations: February 19, 2026
- Total production time: Around eight months
Different cast members completed their scenes at varying points throughout February. One of the final publicly noted filming locations was the Gangwon Provincial Government Building, where production took place January 17 to 18, 2026.
Given the show’s heavy reliance on action choreography, large-scale set pieces and visual effects, the extended production timeline aligns with expectations for a bigger, more ambitious sophomore season.
Returning Cast and Notable Changes
Several core cast members are set to reprise their roles:
- Yoon Chan-young
- Park Ji-hu
- Cho Yi-hyun
- Lomon
However, Roh Yoon-seo will not return for Season 2 due to scheduling conflicts.
Lomon recently confirmed he completed his scenes before transitioning directly into work on Beauty in the Beast, where he stars alongside Moon Sang-min and Kim Min-ju.
His packed schedule reflects the breakout success many cast members experienced after the global impact of Season 1.
What This Means for Release Timing
Netflix has not announced an official premiere date for Season 2.
While early industry rumors suggested a potential December 2026 release, the series was notably absent from Netflix’s confirmed 2026 K-drama lineup. That omission has fueled speculation that the new season will arrive in early 2027 instead.
The delay would not be surprising. All of Us Are Dead relies heavily on:
- Large-scale zombie action sequences
- Complex stunt coordination
- Extensive CGI and visual effects
- Detailed post-production sound design
With production only recently wrapped, a longer post-production window would allow the creative team to refine visual effects and maintain the cinematic quality that defined the first season.
Why Season 2 Is So Anticipated
When All of Us Are Dead first premiered, it became one of Netflix’s most-watched Korean series globally, following in the momentum created by other international hits. Its blend of high school drama, social commentary and relentless zombie horror helped it stand out in a crowded genre.
Season 2 is expected to expand beyond the original outbreak setting, exploring broader societal collapse and deeper character arcs for surviving students.
Though plot details remain tightly guarded, the wrap announcement confirms that the next chapter is officially in the can.
What Happens Next
With filming complete, the focus shifts to:
- Post-production editing
- Visual effects integration
- Score composition
- Marketing rollout
Given Netflix’s strategy with major K-dramas, a teaser could potentially arrive several months before the official premiere window.
For now, fans can take comfort in one key update: cameras have stopped rolling, and Season 2 is officially on its way.
