All of Us Are Dead turns a single South Korean high school into a sealed battleground once an experimental virus starts spreading through its hallways.
What is All of Us Are Dead about?
The outbreak begins quietly, in a locked science lab, before it tears through classrooms and stairwells faster than anyone can react. As administrators scramble and phone lines jam, a small group of students realizes the adults meant to protect them are just as trapped and just as outmatched. What follows is less a monster story than a survival puzzle: barricaded doors, rationed supplies, and constant arguments over who can still be trusted once fear and hunger set in. Some students turn. Others hide. A few decide that reaching the roof, or the front gate, or simply another living voice on the radio, matters more than waiting for rescue. The series stretches its single-location premise across a full school day gone catastrophically wrong, following overlapping groups whose choices keep colliding in the same stairwells and gymnasiums.
About the cast
The ensemble is led by Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, and Cho Yi-hyun, alongside Park Solomon, Yoo In-soo, Lee Yoo-mi, Ham Seong-min, and Kim Ju-a, playing classmates scattered across different corners of the building as the outbreak spreads.
Context & significance
Directed by JQ Lee, Kim Nam-soo, the show is a South Korean production released in 2022, sitting across action, drama, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and thriller in a way that keeps its tone shifting scene to scene. Episodes run about an hour, closer to a string of connected short films than a conventional hour-long drama, which suits the way the outbreak is tracked group by group rather than through one central hero.
