All of Us Are Dead Season 2: Will it premiere in January 2026?

Man, remember when All of Us Are Dead hit Netflix back in January 2022? That zombie chaos at Hyosan High had everyone glued to their screens—teens fighting for survival, heartbreaking losses, and those half-human “hambies” twisting everything up. The show exploded globally, racking up insane view hours. Fast forward almost four years, and fans are still dying for Season 2. Lately, whispers about a January 2026 premiere have popped up, trying to match that original drop date. But digging into the latest buzz as of late December 2025, things look a bit different.

Where Things Stand with Season 2 Right Now

Netflix greenlit the sequel way back in June 2022, and finally, production kicked off properly in mid-2025. Script reads happened around July, with cast confirmations and behind-the-scenes teases dropping then. Filming rolled through the rest of 2025, wrapping up toward the end of the year—lots of heavy VFX for those evolved zombies and bigger action scenes.

The core crew returns:

• Park Ji-hu back as Nam On-jo
• Yoon Chan-young as Lee Cheong-san (yep, somehow)
• Cho Yi-hyun playing Choi Nam-ra
• Lee Su-hyedo Lomon

Fresh blood joins the mix too, like Lee Min-jae, Kim Si-eun, Roh Jae-won, and Yoon Ga-i, bringing new survivors into the fray as the outbreak hits Seoul.

Directors Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-su team up again, with writer Chun Sung-il crafting more emotional punches alongside the gore.

Is All of Us Are Dead Season 2 Releasing in January 2026?

Netflix hasn’t slapped an official date on it yet. Plenty of reports scream 2026 overallbut January feels like a stretch.

A few fan spots and older rumors floated January 2026 for that nostalgic tie-in to Season 1. One random reel even claimed January 28 exactly. But come on—most solid updates point elsewhere:

• Filming only wrapped late 2025, leaving post-production to handle massive effects.
• Several reports lean toward late 2026, maybe even December for symmetry or early 2027 if things drag.
• Reddit threads and outlets agree: mid-to-late 2026 fits better for these big K-zombie productions.

Netflix drops surprises sometimes, but rushing VFX-heavy stuff rarely happens. The story jumps ahead—On-jo in college, new waves of infection—needing time to polish.
