Netflix’s hit zombie survival drama All of Us Are Dead has officially completed filming for its long-awaited second season, but fans will need to remain patient before returning to the virus-ravaged world of Hyosan.
Despite being renewed as far back as June 2022, the series has faced a prolonged and highly scrutinised production timeline.
Production on Season 2 did not begin until July 2025, marking a significant delay from the show’s explosive first-season success. Netflix later confirmed that principal photography continued through late 2025 and into early 2026, with multiple reports indicating filming wrapped around mid-February 2026. The extended shoot reflects a larger-scale production approach, with expanded storytelling and more complex action and effects sequences.
As of now, Netflix has not announced an official premiere date for Season 2. Notably, the series was absent from the platform’s early 2026 content slate reveals, sparking speculation that its return would not arrive within the first half of the year. Industry databases and fan-tracked production timelines now point to a likely release window in late 2026 or, more plausibly, early 2027.
The lengthy gap between seasons — nearly four years since the original January 2022 debut — has been attributed to both the delayed start of production and the creative team’s intention to elevate the show’s scale. Sources suggest additional time has been allocated to post-production, including visual effects and world-building elements designed to push the series beyond the confines of the original outbreak narrative.
Storywise, Season 2 is expected to move forward in time, exploring the aftermath of the initial disaster and the evolving nature of the virus. Familiar characters such as Nam On-jo are set to return, alongside new faces introduced as another wave of chaos unfolds. The continuation aims to broaden the universe rather than repeat the confined-school survival format that defined the first season.
For now, the most reliable expectation is that All of Us Are Dead Season 2 will reach Netflix no earlier than late 2026, with early 2027 increasingly viewed as the most realistic launch window. Until Netflix confirms a date, fans can expect further updates to emerge once post-production milestones are completed.
