Netflix confirms the return of Zombieverse for season 2, following its debut on August 8, 2023. The show, set in Seoul, challenges contestants amid a zombie outbreak.
Netflix unveiled its impressive slate of its upcoming Korean shows and content strategy in Seoul at an exclusive event. The streamer is betting big on reality content this year and these are the series to watch out for.
"Zombieverse," the new Korean reality TV show, features contestants navigating through a zombie-infested realm. The eclectic cast includes a South Korean actress, a rapper, a baseball prodigy, and two YouTube stars. Twitter reactions are mixed, with some expressing anticipation and others skepticism. Early reviews and IMDb ratings remain lukewarm. The show is a gripping, unscripted series, with each episode spanning 40-60 minutes, presenting the contestants with challenges to outwit their undead adversaries and conquer adversity. The show s success remains to be fully deciphered amidst the contrasting opinions of both fans and critics.
Zombieverse takes inspiration from popular zombie dramas like The Walking Dead, Kingdom, and All of Us Are Dead, incorporating their familiar tropes and format elements. However, what sets it apart is its unique twist of presenting these elements within a reality TV backdrop.
