All of Us Are Dead recap: What happened in season 1?

Based on the Korean webtoon comic of the same name by Joo Dong-geun, All of Us Are Dead tells the story of a group of teenagers trying to survive a zombie apocalypse when their school becomes ground zero for an outbreak.

Students had to work together to fight off the zombie plague, often succumbing to the usual hierarchies that develop when people have to work together to survive. As the city of Hyosan was overrun, the high schoolers did their best with what they had.

In the end, the threat was mostly neutralized, but with a lot of the characters now dead. Still, there was a bit of wiggle room for the story to continue.

So, will a few zombies have made it out, ready to infect the population? Are we going to meet more surVivors fighting for their lives? 

How many episodes of All of Us Are Dead are there?

It did have its detractors too, even if the majority liked it. Meagan Navarro at Bloody Disgusting concluded that the first season “ultimately bites off more than it can chew in themes, characters, and ambition.”

According to the streamer, it also rose to the number one spot among viewers in its first three days on the service, becoming a global smash hit like previous Korean Netflix original Squid Game.

Netflix has not yet announced plans to renew All of Us Are Dead.

The webtoon wrapped up, and the show covered its narrative beats already, so it’s unclear whether the series has anywhere to go, but that hasn’t stopped other series from being renewed in the past. Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale has developed beyond its source material, for example.

Furthermore, All of Us Are Dead director Lee Jae-kyoo told The Korean Herald that he hopes to make a second season and left the first season’s ending ambiguous in the hopes of continuing on.

The popularity of season one could easily lead to a second-season renewal, but we’ve simply gotten no confirmation one way or another yet.
