The 'All of Us Are Dead' Cast: Your Guide
Meet the high schoolers outrunning the zombie apocalypse.
We've seen zombies on trains, in run-down apartments, and in the medieval era; now get ready for zombies in high school. Netflix's latest hit k-drama All of Us Are Dead shows a new spin on South Korea's excellent zombie content, following a group of high schoolers stuck at the center of a deadly outbreak.
