We are all dead Season 2 likely won’t be released until 2025, and this long wait for the show’s return means the zombie K-drama will face the same problem as Sweet home. Sweet home and We are all dead have a lot in commonboth being widely popular K-dramas based on webtoons. Sweet home was one of Netflix’s first big original K-drama hits, while We are all dead came out soon after squid game became the streamer’s most-watched show of all time.
Those who enjoy Netflix original K-dramas may have noticed that it can take a while to release new seasons. For example, squid game returns on December 26, 2024, more than three years after the first season. Given how popular squid game season 1 was, it’s safe to say that season 2 will be a success. However, Not every show can “survive” a long hiatus, with Sweet home being a great example of this.
Sweet Home has struggled after a long hiatus, and we’ll all be dead too
Sweet Home’s second season wasn’t as well-received as the first season
The last two seasons of Sweet home were not as well received as the first. While this has to do with story decisions like introducing many new characters and shifting focus away from Cha Hyun-su for most of the second season, it also has to do with how long the series took to return. Sweet home premiered on Netflix in December 2020, but the second season only arrived three years later in November 2023. Such a long wait for the show’s return meant that Sweet home 2 had to meet impossible expectations.
While Sweet home Season 2’s new characters and lack of Hyun-su were going to be divisive anyway, the fact that it took so long for the new season to arrive played a role in how it was received. After three years of waiting for Song Kang’s character to return, viewers now had to get used to a plethora of new characters while wondering why the monster K-drama became so different, especially after the time jump. We are all dead the second season is taking even longer than Sweet home the second season didwhich means you will have a similar problem.
Sweet Home filming two consecutive seasons offset by season 2 delay
At least Sweet Home season three only lasted a few months
The only good thing that comes out Sweet home the second season took so long that the show was filming two seasons back to back. That’s why Sweet homeThe third and final season was released less than six months after season 2. In hindsight, Sweet home releasing the last two seasons close to each other justified the long wait for season 2. It’s hard to say if it was worth it, though Sweet home Season 3 was significantly better than Season 2. Sweet home 3 tied up all the loose ends and focused on its main characters.
It is unclear whether there are plans to We are all dead film two seasons simultaneously, but the series has only been renewed for a second season as far as we know. Sweet homeon the other hand, it received a double renewal shortly after its Netflix debut, so it was no surprise that the Song Kang K drama produced two consecutive seasons. Interestingly, squid game apparently filmed seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back, although Netflix only confirmed that season 3 was happening a few months ago.
Will the second season of All Of Us Are Dead be as successful after such a long wait?
All Of Us Are Dead 2 Will Have A Hard Time Matching The Success Of Season 1
We are all dead the first season was a success and remains in Netflix’s top 10 most-watched non-English TV shows of all time alongside streaming hits like Money theft, Lupineand squid game. It now remains to be seen whether We are all dead Season 2 will live up to the success and overall positive critical reception of Season 1. The zombie K-drama will have to regain momentum, both in terms of story and marketing. Fans of the show will continue to wait for Season 2, but casual viewers will need to be reminded about the series.
This is exactly the problem that Sweet home the second season has begun. While fans of the show had been waiting for years and following every update, many viewers were no longer attached to a show whose first season aired three years ago. We are all dead Episode 12 ended on a cliffhanger, but Season 2 may have to start the story from scratch to avoid alienating those who don’t remember everything that happened in Season 1.
