There was no teaser and no release date, though, with the season still billed as \u201ccoming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The K-zombie hit headlined the \u201cWhat Next?\u201d showcase, the closing segment of Netflix Korea\u2019s Netflix Janchi (Netflix Feast) livestream from Oil Tank Culture Park in Sangam-dong. The show had not been presented publicly since the cast announced the renewal at Geeked Week in June 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Quotes in this article were transcribed and translated from the Netflix Korea livestream using Maestra and have been lightly edited for clarity and name spellings. They may differ slightly from official translations.<\/p>\n<p>What Was Announced?<\/p>\n<p>The headline news is that Lee Cheong-san survived season 1. Netflix\u2019s cast announcement in July 2025 confirmed Yoon Chan-young was returning but carefully avoided saying how, which left open the possibility of flashbacks or a return as a halfbie. Yoon settled it himself on stage: \u201cEveryone, do you remember Cheong-san? You may have thought I was dead, but I, Cheong-san, am still alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Park Ji-hu played along, telling him, \u201cCheong-san, you were alive. I was really worried you wouldn\u2019t return, since you disappeared last season leaving so many questions unanswered,\u201d to which Yoon replied, \u201cI missed you, On-jo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cast also confirmed the broad shape of the new season. Park described On-jo as terrified of an \u201cevolved\u201d zombie crisis but still fighting to protect her friends until the very end, and teased the bigger scope: \u201cThis season, we follow the stories of our friends who have grown into impressive college students and adults, and witness a larger-scale, more intense battle against zombies in the new setting of Seoul.\u201d Cho Yi-hyun said Nam-ra is still a half-zombie wandering around Hyosan, while Lomon joked that Su-hyeok has \u201creturned as a wonderful adult\u201d after the Hyosan High outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>What wasn\u2019t announced is just as notable. Despite reports from local outlets suggesting first looks and teasers were on the way, no new footage was shown and no release window was given. The segment ended with the series simply billed as \u201ccoming soon, only on Netflix.\u201d With the show absent from Netflix\u2019s 2026 Korean slate and filming only wrapping in February, we\u2019re still expecting it in early 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Who Was on Stage?<\/p>\n<p>All four returning leads appeared: Park Ji-hu (Nam On-jo), Yoon Chan-young (Lee Cheong-san), Cho Yi-hyun (Choi Nam-ra) and Lomon (Lee Su-hyeok). None of the new cast members or director Lee Jae-kyu took part in the segment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-dominant-color=\"3a393b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #3a393b;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-700756 not-transparent\" title=\"\ub137\ud50c\uc794\uce58 \ub77c\uc774\ube0c - \ub137\ud50c\ub9ad\uc2a4 \ucf54\ub9ac\uc544 10\uc8fc\ub144 5 46 50 Screenshot\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\ub137\ud50c\uc794\uce58 \ub77c\uc774\ube0c - \ub137\ud50c\ub9ad\uc2a4 \ucf54\ub9ac\uc544 10\uc8fc\ub144 5 46 50 Screenshot\" width=\"1536\" height=\"864\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/\ub137\ud50c\uc794\uce58-\ub77c\uc774\ube0c-\ub137\ud50c\ub9ad\uc2a4-\ucf54\ub9ac\uc544-10\uc8fc\ub144-5-46-50-screenshot-1536x864.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Quick Recap: Where Season 2 Stands<\/p>\n<p>Renewed: June 2022<br \/>\nFilming: July 2025 to February 2026<br \/>\nReturning cast: Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun and Lomon<br \/>\nNew cast: Lee Min-jae, Kim Si-eun, Roh Jae-won and Yoon Ga-yi<br \/>\nBehind the camera: Director Lee Jae-kyu and writer Chun Sung-il return<br \/>\nSetting: The action moves out of Hyosan High as a new zombie outbreak hits Seoul, with Nam On-jo now a university student<br \/>\nRelease: Not yet announced, expected early 2027<\/p>\n<p>For the full rundown, including the long road to production and every cast member reported so far, check out our recently updated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/news\/all-of-us-are-dead-season-2-on-netflix-everything-we-know-so-far-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">All of Us Are Dead season 2 everything we know<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for All of Us Are Dead season 2?
