All of Us Are Dead (Korean: 지금 우리 학교는; RR: Jigeum Uri Hakgyoneun; lit. Now at Our School) is a South Korean coming-of-age zombie apocalypse horror streaming television series. It stars Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, Park Solomon, Yoo In-soo, Lee Yoo-mi, Kim Byung-chul, Lee Kyu-hyung, and Jeon Bae-soo. The series mostly takes place at a high-school in South Korea as a zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks out and threatens the safety of the students. It is based on the Naver webtoon, Now at Our School [ko], by Joo Dong-geun, which was published between 2009 and 2011.
The series was released on January 28, 2022, on Netflix

After a science experiment gone wrong, a local school is overrun with zombies, and the trapped students struggle to survive. With no food and water, and communication cut-off by the government, they must use equipment around the school to protect themselves in the midst of a battleground or they will become part of the infected.

Netflix zombie horror series All Of Us Are Dead has been a huge hit for the streaming service and its ending sets up much for a potential second season. The 12-episode South Korean series is a coming-of-age story that puts a class of high school students in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Based on the South Korean webtoon Here At Our School, it follows a teenage girl named Nam On-jo, who, along with the other students in Class 2-5, must fight to survive as her school is overrun with zombies. The show has become a runaway hit for Netflix, quickly becoming the top series on the streamer in 5o countries, mirroring the success of Squid Game.

Throughout the series, the clever students of Class 2-5, juniors at Hyosan High School in the fictional Hyosan City, use their creativity to evade and fight off the zombie horde that used to be their schoolmates and teachers. On-jo, whose father So-ju is a firefighter and former soldier, helps to keep her classmates alive using the survival skills that her father taught her. As they fight to stay alive, they grapple with what it means to survive when all of their friends and loved ones have been turned. The story also follows other groups of survivors, including another band of kids from their high school, as they all try to make it out of All Of Us Are Dead's Hyosan City and to the quarantine camps being run by the military.

Despite the show's popularity, Netflix has yet to officially announce All Of Us Are Dead season 2. The season 1 plot followed the basic storyline of the webtoon, making a few changes to make the source material work better for television. However, the Netflix series did a lot to set up a season two that could be even better than season one. Considering the popularity of the series, it seems likely that season two could be on its way. The ending left open the possibility of a conflict between the humans and the halfbies, or even a faction of halfbies that decides they don't like being abandoned in the quarantined city. The government taking the original two zombies could create chaos for South Korea. Also, the citizens of Hyosan City are still living in quarantine camps at the end of season one. After three months, the people could easily become frustrated with the government and rebel against the extended quarantine. The webtoon has already ended, which gives All Of Us Are Dead the freedom to explore the aftermath of the Hyosun High School outbreak without having to worry about sticking to canon.
