Netflix has unveiled a new teaser video for All of Us Are Dead, a new "spine-chilling" K-drama zombie thriller set in a high school where apocalyptic chaos ensues following the outbreak of a mysterious virus.
Coming fresh off the heels of a record-breaking year in 2021 for Netflix K-dramas (led by the runaway hit Squid Game, Hellbound and The Silent Sea), the pressure is on for the first new Korean series to be released by the streamer in 2022.
Based on the webtoon of the same name by Joo Dong-geun, the original Netflix series also features Squid Game actor Lee You-mi (who played Ji-yeong, player no. 240, paired with player no. 067 in the Marbles game round).
All of Us Are Dead Release Date
All of Us Are Dead will be released on Netflix on January 28, 2022.
All of Us Are Dead Plot
Featuring a sea of blood-thirsty students-turned-zombies thrashing about on top of each other in blood-drenched uniforms and the disturbing sounds of dissonant music and a phone line gone dead, the latest teaser captures the "spine-chilling suspense" and horrific mayhem to unfold in the series.
Trapped inside Hyosan High School, with no food, cell phone service or adults and no rescue in sight, one student says: "We're the only ones who can save us."
The students join forces to keep each other alive and take on the growing horde of zombies, an army of which is later seen with blood-filled mouths wide open, charging towards a wall of police force members in full protective gear.
