Netflix Korea at 10: All of Us Are Dead 2 heads festival

Netflix will mark ten years of streaming in South Korea with a free two-day fan festival in Seoul on October 24 and 25, 2026, and the second season of the zombie series All of Us Are Dead will headline its main showcase, according to the latest line-up details reported on October 19 and 20. The festival, called Netf-Janchi (roughly "Netflix feast"), will be held at Oil Tank Culture Park, with major showcases streamed live worldwide on YouTube. A live-action Solo Leveling series is also on the showcase line-up.

The festival marks a decade since Netflix began streaming in South Korea, and Netflix Korea describes it as a way to thank Korean fans for their support. Over that decade Korean series have become a major part of what Netflix offers worldwide, and All of Us Are Dead, about a zombie outbreak at Hyosan High School, is one of its best-known Korean hits. A festival in Seoul that is built around what comes next is Netflix's way of telling fans, and the Korean industry, that it plans to keep spending on Korean stories.

The All of Us Are Dead sequel is the title most fans will be watching for. Fans have waited a long time for a second season, and the cast has now been announced and filming completed. That makes the October 24 showcase the likeliest place for a first look, though Netflix has not promised one. The Solo Leveling adaptation matters for a different reason: it takes a story that already has a large global fan base and turns it into live action, a route streaming platforms are using more often to reduce the risk of a new series.

For viewers in India, Korean series are part of the regular Netflix line-up. Global live streams of events like this one mean fans in India can watch the announcements as they happen, rather than waiting for clips. Indian producers, who are also building shows for global audiences on the same platforms, will be watching how Netflix uses fan events to build excitement for a country's content.

Short-term: Fans can expect cast appearances and possibly first footage from All of Us Are Dead season 2 and Solo Leveling on October 24. Anything shown will be released on Netflix's official channels and the YouTube streams.

Long-term: The festival signals that Netflix intends to keep Korea as one of its main production centres outside the United States. More Korean originals and adaptations of webtoons are likely to follow on the service in India and elsewhere.

Who is affected: Korean drama fans worldwide, including in India; the cast and creators of the shows on the line-up; Korean production companies; and rival streaming services competing for Korean content.
