While South Korean drama has been enjoying a surge in popularity in the West since Squid Game<\/a>, none have come close to matching that global phenomenon in terms of viewership \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n

Zombie horror series All of Us Are Dead launched with an astonishing first week on Netflix<\/a>, where it stormed to become the streamer\u2019s most-watched show worldwide.<\/p>\n

In total, more than 124.7 million hours of the show were consumed by subscribers in its release weekend alone, sending it into the top ten in 91 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

According to a RadioTimes.com<\/a> poll, many of those viewers are now hungry for more, with a whopping 83 per cent demanding the show return<\/a> to expand on the fate of its surviving characters.\u00a0Here\u2019s what we know so far.<\/p>\n

Will there be a second season of All of Us Are Dead?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Netflix has not yet announced whether All of Us Are Dead will return for season 2, with the prospect feeling uncertain despite the show\u2019s mammoth success.<\/p>\n

From a narrative perspective, the plot is wrapped up relatively neatly by the finale, which provides a complete adaptation of the Webtoon (i.e. digital comic) upon which the show is based.<\/p>\n

However, if the show has legs comparable to Squid Game \u2013 which stayed in Netflix\u2019s top ten for months \u2013 then it\u2019s possible that the pressure for a follow-up could become too much to resist. Watch this space.<\/p>

Who could be in a potential All of Us Are Dead season 2 cast?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Those who have already binge watched will be all too aware that many of the characters in All of Us Are Dead meet a grim fate across the 12-episode series.<\/p>\n

If the show were to return for a second season, we could see more from high schoolers On-jo (Park Ji-hoo), Su-hyeok (Park Solomon), Dae-su (Im Jae-hyuk), Ha-ri (Ha Seung-ri), Mi-jin (Lee Eun-saem) and Hyo-ryung (Kim Bo-yoon).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it is revealed that police detective Song Jae-ik (played by Lee Kyu-hyung) is also among the survivors, while Nam-ra (Cho Yi-hyun) is settling into her bleak new life as a half-infected person.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that deceased characters could reappear via flashback, but don\u2019t hold your breath for any to make a triumphant return \u2013 no matter how much they might deserve it.<\/p>\n

What would the plot be if All of Us Are Dead returns?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As previously mentioned, All of Us Are Dead is based on a South Korean digital comic of the same name, with this initial batch of 12 episodes adapting the source material in full.<\/p>\n

That means if the show was to be renewed for a second season, even die-hard fans would be in uncharted territory, with the show\u2019s writers having to craft an original direction to take the remaining characters.<\/p>\n

Is there an All of Us Are Dead season 2 trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of course not! The show hasn\u2019t been renewed yet, after all. But if you\u2019re eager for more All of Us Are Dead content, Netflix has you covered with this behind-the-scenes extra delving into how the zombie thriller was made.<\/p>\n
