Squid Game stars revealed to be joining cast of All of Us Are Dead season 2
Some new faces are set to arrive as the zombie thriller returns to our screens.
All of Us Are Dead is adding some familiar faces into its zombie world as the Korean thriller returns for season 2.
The Netflix zombie series, which became a smash-hit on its initial release back in 2022, has finally begun production on the new instalment after a three-year hiatus.
Based on the web comic by Joo Dong-geun, All Of Us Are Dead season 2 will be focused on Nam On-jo (Park Ji-hu) as she attends university in Seoul and tries to shake off the traumatic events that occurred in her high school during season 1.
But when a new wave of the infection targets the capital city, she is once again forced to fight for survival before it’s too late.
We will also find out what happened to some of the fan favourites who appeared in the original series, where they are now and how they are each coping with life after witnessing the Hyosan outbreak.
During On-jo’s mission to stay alive, she comes across new faces – including three university students and survivors in their own right, each with their own unique way of coming out on top.
This includes Squid Game season 2 star Kim Si-eun, Weak Hero: Class 2’s Lee Min-jae and Undercover High School’s Yoon Ga-i.
Another Squid Game star, Roh Jae-won, will be playing National Intelligence Service team leader Han Du-seok.
