The trailer for 'Zombieverse' Season 2 has been released. Yesterday (22nd), Netflix Korea released the trailer for 'Zombieverse: New Blood' through its official YouTube channel. In Season 2, the zombie world expands, introducing 'New Blood' as the only hope, as survivors tackle bizarre quests and dilemmas. In the trailer, players seek safe zones from rapidly spreading zombies, but the controlled areas collapse due to zombie attacks. The tension of 'the place we fled to is even more dangerous' suggests a return to intense and tragic survival. Notably, No Hong-cheol's maniacal laughter as he defends against the zombie horde stands out. He claimed to be the villain in the previous installment, showcasing overwhelming survival skills, but ultimately met his demise; his return is a focal point of interest. New additions for Season 2 include Cho Se-ho, Defconn, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, BTOB's Sungjae, CODE KUNST, former IZ*ONE member Kwon Eun-bi, Kim Sung-tae, and Andre Rush, alongside impactful returning characters like No Hong-cheol, Lee Si-young, DinDin, DEX, Billlie's Tsuki, and Patricia, raising expectations for the diverse character play in 'Zombieverse: New Blood.' Speculation continues regarding the meaning of the subtitle 'New Blood.' Chief PD Park Jin-kyung stated, 'New Blood signifies new players and is a major axis of the story of 'Zombieverse: New Blood.' It is the only item that can solve the 'zombie crisis' in South Korea,' sparking curiosity. He further explained that 'Zombieverse' combines a 'story mode' with free dialogue, acting, and actions outside of the cast's settings, and a 'quest mode' where events must be resolved without explanation, creating a unique variety show structure. He expressed confidence that, despite being a variety show, it is crafted like a well-structured drama, allowing viewers to binge-watch effortlessly. Last year's Season 1 received global acclaim as a new concept zombie variety, ranking 5th in Netflix's Global TOP 10 series (non-English) and making the TOP 10 in 13 countries, including South Korea, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The returning 'Zombieverse: New Blood' is expected to deliver laughter and thrilling tension through a larger and more intricate structure, along with upgraded abilities of zombies and cast members. 'Zombieverse: New Blood' will be released worldwide on November 19 via Netflix.
