The New Races of Zombies Can Take ‘All of Us Are Dead’ to Season 2, Director Lee Jae-Kyoo Hopes for a Return
We are finally getting some answers regarding the ambiguous ending to All of Us Are Dead. The Korean zombie series debuted on Jan 28 and quickly climbed up the ranks. It sparked countless memes, and theories as could what the end could mean for all the characters in All of Us Are Dead season 2. Although fans knew that they would get a second season, there was no official confirmation. But now director Lee Jae Kyoo has opened up about the streamer and his plans for a forthcoming season.
Jee Kyoo revealed that they had left the ending open because they had another season in mind already. The Korean zombie series is unlike any other zombie thriller, as it introduced a new zombie species, the Hambies. To put it simply, Hambies are intelligent zombies. They retain their persona but have zombie urges like craving flesh and brains. Apparently, Jae Kyoo wants to explore the survival of these new types of zombies in season 2, taking the focus away from human survival.
