All Of Us Are Dead is based on the Korean webtoon named Now At Our School by Joo Dong-geun. The series was adapted from the original webtoon by Chun Sung-il, Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-su. Season one of the show was released in January this year.
The series follows several ordinary high schoolers who end up at ground zero of a zombie apocalypse after a science experiment goes wrong. The students are cut off from the outside world by the government, who seeks to contain the outbreak. The group is forced to protect themselves, all the while dealing with heavy interpersonal tension. The first season ended on a cliffhanger, with six survivors from the outbreak rescued but quarantined by the government, and class president Nam-ra living as a half-zombie.
