On May 14, 2025, the Korean entertainment community was hit with unexpected news: actress Roh Yoon-seo will not be part of the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s hit series, All of Us Are Dead. The decision stems from scheduling conflicts, leaving fans in a whirlwind of emotions and questions about the future of the show.
The Situation Unfolds
Initially, Roh’s agency, MAA, indicated that "no decision has been made yet" regarding her involvement in the project when rumors began circulating back in January 2024. However, the recent announcement has clarified that her exit is now official.
For those new to the series, All of Us Are Dead narrates the harrowing tale of students trapped in a school overrun by zombies. The show’s first season, released in January 2022, skyrocketed to global fame, overtaking even Squid Game as Netflix’s top Korean title.
Fans Voice Their Frustrations
The news has left many fans feeling disappointed and frustrated. Amidst the ongoing casting decisions, it seems that filming for Season 2 has yet to commence. One user on X (formerly Twitter) lamented, "How has this still not started filming yet? It’s ridiculous!"
Several fans have even expressed concerns about losing interest in the show entirely. One remarked, "I hope the director can get someone to replace her, and S2 should start filming soon without further delays!" while another echoed this sentiment, stating, "Ngl, that drama keeps getting later and later, and I already lost interest."
The Impact of Roh Yoon-seo’s Departure
Many believe Roh Yoon-seo would have been a perfect fit for the new season. As one fan put it, "She would’ve been an amazing fit 😭 but why is this show taking so long?" In the meantime, Roh is gearing up for her role in Netflix’s upcoming horror mystery series, East Palace, alongside Nam Joo-hyuk and Cho Seung-woo, stirring further anticipation for her growing career.
What Lies Ahead for All of Us Are Dead
In an exclusive interview with The Korea Herald, director Lee Jae-kyoo dropped intriguing hints about the thematic shift in Season 2. He stated, "If the first season can be seen as having presented humanity’s survival, the next season can talk about the survival of zombies."
This shift is expected to build on the drama and chaos that left audiences on the edge of their seats. The first season concluded with significant developments for key characters, especially Nam-ra, who managed her transformative struggle, leaving many eager for what’s next.
Current Status and Expectations
Currently, there’s no exact release date for All of Us Are Dead Season 2. While the creative team has yet to announce any fresh casting decisions or storyline details, fans remain hopeful for updates soon.
