Netflix kicked off its Geeked Week on Monday with trailers and announcements, and among those was a renewal for the Korean zombie series All of Us Are Dead. It comes as no surprise that the streamer will be bringing that one back seeing as it topped the Netflix charts and rose to as high as 236 million hours of viewing in a single week. It also spent eleven straight weeks in the Top 10 for non-English language shows and four weeks on the Nielsen streaming charts for originals. It is one of several Korean-made dramas that has drawn strong viewership for the streamer.
All of Us Are Dead follows a group of high school students trying to escape from their school with their lives after a zombie outbreak occurs. It stars Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, Lomon, and Yoo In-soo and it is based on the web-toon Now at Our School by Joo Dong-geun.
FX will be staying in the shadows longer as it has renewed its supernatural comedy What We Do in the Shadows through its sixth season. That show has never counted as a huge hit in the linear ratings and its numbers dropped in its third season which kicked off in September 2021. But it has done well enough for a basic cable entry and it has performed well in digital viewing. In addition, its first two seasons drew plenty of nominations from the Emmys. FX head of original programming had the following to say about the renewal:
There’s a lot of life left in our favorite vampires from Staten Island and FX couldn’t be more thrilled to commit to two additional seasons of this phenomenal series. What We Do in the Shadows excels on every level, from the brilliant cast and surprising guest stars to the producers, writers, directors and crew.
The fourth season is currently set to debut July 12th.
What We Do in the Shadows follows four vampires living in Staten Island, New York who are just trying to fit into the normal world with the help of their human familiar Guillermo. It stars Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén, and Mark Proksch and it is based on the 2014 film of the same name created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.
