Season 2 will shift focus to university-aged protagonist Nam On-jo, portrayed by returning star Park Ji-hu, who is now navigating life as a Seoul college student. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when a fresh wave of infection strikes the city, once again forcing On-jo into a desperate battle for survival [2].
The season introduces several new faces to the ensemble. Lee Min-jae, Kim Si-eun, and Yoon Ga-i join as a trio of battle-hardened university seniors who have developed their own survival strategies. Additionally, Roh Jae-won takes on the role of Han Du-seok, a National Intelligence Service team leader whose involvement promises to inject new layers of tension into the storyline [2].
The season will also explore the current circumstances of original Hyosan outbreak survivors, including Cheong-san (Yoon Chan-young), Nam-ra (Cho Yi-hyun), and Su-hyeok (Lomon), as they confront the challenges of post-outbreak life while facing the resurgence of the infection [2].
Behind the camera, the directing duo of Lee JQ and Kim Nam-su return to helm the sophomore installment, working from a script penned by returning writer Chun Sung-il [2].
The announcement reinforces Netflix’s aggressive expansion in Korean content production. Recent Netflix Korea successes include "When Life Gives You Tangerines" starring IU and Park Bo-gum, "Culinary Class Wars", and the record-breaking "Squid Game" Season 3 which helped drive the streamer’s continued Korean content investment [2].
