Production

On April 12, 2020, Netflix announced through a press release that JTBC Studios and Film Monster would produce a series called All of Us Are Dead based on the popular webtoon Now at Our School.[41][42] On April 19, 2020, Yoon Chan-young was confirmed to star in the series as one of the students.[43] Park Ji-hu joined the main cast on April 22.[44] On July 1, they were officially joined by Cho Yi-hyun, Lomon and Yoo In-soo.[45] In selecting the cast, director Lee Jae-kyoo said, "I thought that bringing on actors who were great at acting but still unknown to the public would add to the immersion of the series".[46]

Production was temporarily suspended in August 2020 due to the re-spreading of COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea.[47]

In April 2024, Park Chul-soo, the CEO of Film Monster, announced that the filming period is scheduled for 2024 and the premiere of the second season is set to take place in the second half of 2025.[9]

IGN rated the series a 7 out of 10 and noted that the series was "clever, thrilling, and also... a bit exhausting."[50] Variety praised the series, stating it "makes the most out of its nightmarish central location to otherworldly, dizzying effect."[51] The series received generally positive reviews for its performances, screenplay, and action sequences, although its long runtime was criticized.[52]
