And why would it not invest more in horror and sci-fi when reports suggest a growth of 30% and 20%, respectively for both the genres from 2020 to 2021 for the streamer.

Based on the Korean webtoon “Now at Our School” by Joo Dong-geun, “All of Us Are Dead” revolves around a High-school that falls prey to a zombie apocalypse as a result of a failed science experiment. Isolated from the rest of the world, the high-schoolers are left to defend themselves and their peers, all in hopes to make it out alive. The first season ended on a cliffhanger, where six high-schoolers survive the outbreak and are rescued and quarantined by the government. While class president Nam-ra is now a more evolved form of a zombie,i.e a half-zombie.
In addition to Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun and Park Solomon, the series also features Yoo In-soo, Lee Yoo-mi, Kim Byung-chul, Lee Kyu-hyung and Jeon Bae-soo. The series was adapted by Chun Sung-il who served as head writer and Lee Jae-kyoo, with Kim Nam-su directing the pilot season. More details on the second season has not come out yet.
