Netflix has had some success with zombie stories from South Korea before, having released the series Kingdom and the film #Alive, and now they’re back in the South Korean zombie business with the upcoming series All of Us Are Dead, which will be reaching the streaming service on January 28th. With just a few weeks left to go before the show debuts, a trailer has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
The trailer may only be 30 seconds long, but they managed to pack a lot of crazy visuals and zombie action into those seconds. It looks like this show is going to be a good time.
Based on Joo Dong-Geun’s 2009 webtoon Now at Our School, All of Us Are Dead is a twelve episode series that will tell the following story:
A group of students trapped in a high school and find themselves in dire situations as they seek to be rescued from a zombie invasion of their school.
Lee Jae-Kyu and Kim Nam-soo split directing duties on the series, which was scripted by Chun Sung-il. All of Us Are Dead stars Yoon Chan-Yeong (Mama) as Cheong-san, Park Ji-Hu (House of Hummingbird) as On-jo, Cho Yi-Hyun (Metamorphosis) as Nam-ra, Lomon (Bleak Night) as Su-hyeok, and Yoo In-Soo (School 2017) as Gwi-nam. Lee Yoo-Mi (Young Adult Matters) and newcomer Lim Jae-hyeok are also in the cast.
Produced by JTBC Studios’ Film Monster, All of Us Are Dead promises to “open up a completely new chapter in the history of zombies with a story of daring teenagers who manage to find love and friendship even amidst a zombie apocalypse.”
