When to expect All of Us Are Dead Season 2 on Netflix?

All of Us Are Dead Season 2 brings new terrifying elements that will measure human endurance using distinct and unexpected methods, unlike those in the first season. The long-awaited sophomore season remains one of Netflix’s most teased returns. However, the streamer has not announced an official release date for its content as of early 2026. 

According to industry sources, production situations have pushed release windows to late 2026 or early 2027. The sequel moved its schedule after the show's original filming date of 2024 had to be delayed until summer 2025 for better quality results. The filming process began officially in July 2025.

The production expects to complete shooting by February 2026, with major scenes filmed at the Gangwon Provincial Government Building and other locations. Several analysts predict a 2027 Netflix release because of the extensive visual effects, large-scale ensemble, and post-production work required for global distribution that remains, despite the optimistic estimates pointing to late 2026. 

While the wait is as painful as some of the characters' arcs in the show, expectations continue to remain high from its second season after its phenomenally successful debut in early 2022. The show shattered cross-cultural barriers and invited millions of viewers into the world of Korean dramas preserved on Netflix.
