Zombieverse Season 2 converts an abandoned Jeju Island resort into a wild zombie survival playground, combining reality TV and scripted dramas. This Netflix “real-variety” series pits a new collection of celebrities, including YouTubers, musicians, and an ex-White House cook, against increasingly strange zombie challenges.

Unlike typical zombie stories, participants do not slaughter the undead. Instead, they must traverse complex circumstances that put their humor, collaboration, and improvisation skills to the ultimate test. The show purposefully blurs the lines between performance and reality, creating a unique viewing experience that keeps viewers wondering.

Returning characters like DinDin and Noh Hong-chul have lively interactions, while newcomers struggle to match the first season’s dynamism. The series struggles with its idea, which is neither entirely scripted nor truly spontaneous, resulting in an irritating and captivating experience.

Zombieverse Season 2 continues to be an ambitious experiment in genre-combining television, providing viewers with a unique perspective on the zombie survival genre.

Zombieverse Season 2 (aka Zombieverse: New Blood) introduces a plethora of new Korean talent, such as Cho Saeho, Taeyeon, Code Kunst, and Yook Sung Jae. 

The Netflix comedy reality game show follows a group of celebrities who act as survivors of a zombie-infested South Korea. Real-life scare actors play the zombies in the series, and the survivors must work together to survive and find a cure before succumbing to the apocalypse. 

Zombieverse Season 2 premiered on Netflix on November 19.
