Ten years after his arrival in South Korea, Netflix is throwing a celebration befitting the prominence of Korean productions on the platform. On October 24 and 25, the «Netf-Janchi» («Netflix Feast») festival will take over a cultural park in Seoul. For K-drama fans, Saturday is the day not to be missed: Netflix will be presenting its upcoming series, headlined by the highly anticipated Season 2 of « All of Us Are Dead ".
«All of Us Are Dead»: Season 2 Finally Hits the Screen
This announcement is already generating a buzz among fans. During the «What Next?» presentation, scheduled for Saturday, October 24, the team behind «All of Us Are Dead» will take the stage to discuss the future of the zombie series, which became a global phenomenon in 2022.
Season 2 is expected in 2027. Netflix has not confirmed the release of a teaser or first images, but the presence of the cast and creators gives us hope for at least some concrete updates on the progress of filming.
Fantastic, romantic projects… and a film by Lee Chang-dong
«All of Us Are Dead» won't be the only show on the bill. Projects related to « Solo Leveling », the webtoon that became a phenomenon thanks to its anime adaptation, will also be featured. This will give us a better idea of how Netflix plans to bring the franchise to life.
Several new original series will also benefit from this showcase:
- " Grand Galaxy Hotel ", a fantasy drama; ;
- " Tantara ", also known as «Slowly, Intensely,» a highly anticipated romantic series set to premiere before the end of the year; ;
- " Beauty in the Beast ", an original production whose details are expected to be announced at that time.
On the film front, Netflix will present «Possible Love,» the new film by Lee Chang-dong. The director of «Burning» has already made a splash with this project at the Busan International Film Festival.
Ten Years of K-Dramas That Have Taken the World by Storm
Before looking ahead to the future, Netflix will pay tribute to the titles that have made it a success in Korea. Hosted by Kim Shin-young, a special program will bring together the teams behind «Squid Game,» «D.P.,» «Hellbound,» and «Mask Girl,» as well as shows like «Physical: 100» and «Culinary Class Wars,» and the animated film «KPop Demon Hunters.».
The results are impressive. Since Netflix launched its global rankings in 2021, more than 210 Korean productions have made the list. « Squid Game »stayed there for 32 weeks straight, while « Teach You a Lesson » has climbed to 10th place among the most popular non-English-language series in the platform's history. Netflix also cites « When Life Gives You Tangerines », which introduced the landscapes of Jeju to the whole world.
The rest of the weekend will be all about entertainment: sports challenges, puzzle games with Go champion Lee Se-dol, dance battles, a segment dedicated to dating shows like «Single’s Inferno,» and concerts by Zico, Kyuhyun (Super Junior), Rain, and AKMU.
How can I follow the event from France?
The free tickets sold out in just a few minutes. But fans around the world will be able to watch the highlights live on Netflix Korea’s official YouTube channel, including the segment « What's Next? », the retrospective show, and the closing concert.
A little thing to keep in mind: France switches to standard time on the night of October 24–25. The time difference with Seoul will therefore be 7 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday.
To tide viewers over, Netflix will launch a digital archive on October 23 showcasing its 10 years of Korean productions.
