October 4, 2021

K-drama fans have another series to look forward to with the highly anticipated release of “All of Us Are Dead” on Netflix.

Worth the wait: “All of Us Are Dead,” the live-action adaptation of the webtoon “Now at Our School, All of Us Are Dead” (“지금 우리 학교는”) by Joo Dong-geun, is set to release in January 2022, according to Rappler.

The series will revolve around a group of students trapped in a school during a zombie breakout.
The show will reportedly have eight 40-minute episodes and will star Yoon Chan-young, Park Ji-hoo, Jo Yi-hyun, Park Solomon and Yoo In-soo, according to My Drama List.
Filmmaker Lee Jae-gyoo, who helmed “Trap,” “King2Hearts” and “Intimate Strangers,” directed the series using a script written by Chun Sung-il.

More undead fun: South Korea has produced a number of international hits in the zombie genre, including the massively popular “Train to Busan” and its sequel “Peninsula,” among others.

“Train to Busan” and “Peninsula” director Yeon Sang-ho also has another upcoming supernatural series on Netflix called “Hellbound.”
While not about zombies, the show will feature supernatural beings suddenly popping up around the world.
“Hellbound” has been described as the “next must-binge Netflix series from Korea” and will be released on Netflix in November.
Netflix’s other noteworthy zombie productions include the film “Alive,” the fantasy period drama “Kingdom” and the drama’s spin-off film “Kingdom: Ashin of the North.”
