When Is Zombie Detective Season 2 Coming Out? (Release Date)
The show ran under the KBS Drama Production and, just with the first season, caught a lot of eyeballs that audience and fans are eagerly waiting for a second season. However, yet, there is no concrete information or news from the production house for the show’s second season.
As the first season last premiered in 2020, the second season should be out within this year or the next. Based on past trends, the popularity of the show, and the suspenseful ending to the series, one can anticipate an announcement for a second season, but it is difficult to assume a specific date or time for the series.
Zombie Detective Storyline: What would it be able to be About?
Kang Min-Ho (played by Choi Jin-Hyuk), was a normal human being before waking up one day to find out that somehow he had turned into a zombie, forgetting all his past memories and identity. Without a ‘mortal’ existence but still living, this ‘undead’ creature tries to find a way of living in the human society, conscious enough to seek for his lost identity.
In the beginning, the zombie lived in the mountains, trying to control his zombie-like behaviour, adjusting himself to the human ways of life. As he witnesses a murder, he finds out in the victim’s bag an identity card disclosing him as a detective.
The zombie finds this as an excellent opportunity to rediscover himself. To do that, he decides to become a detective, creating an alibi in the name of Kim Moo-Young.
As he moves to a new city, opening his own office as a private investigator, he comes across Gong Seon-Ji (played by actor Park Ju-Hyun), a former writer at a current affairs complaint program but while working on a case was attacked by an anonymous person, leading to her quitting her job.
As Seon-Ji finds out about Moo Young’s reality, she understands his situation and pairs up with him to help him find out about his past life. As a part-time private investigator at his detective firm, Seon-ji and Moo Young solves many cases.
This series deals with themes of companionship, mystery, comedy and suspense, all wrapped up in the cocoon of quest for identity. This is a man’s journey towards self-discovery and all the hurdles he has to pass to achieve his goal.

What happened at the end of Zombie Detective season 1?
With a pretty satisfactory ending that answers majorly all our questions as to how Moo-Young became a zombie or even how Moo Young was killed in the first place or what were the intentions behind the murder.
As Seon-Ji finds out that Moo-Young is closely connected with one of the previous cases that she was working on before leaving her job, the fully wrapped-up ending of the series raises the interest in the audience at the same time, making them feel a great extent, satisfied with the ending.
However, like every other mystery series, some ends are yet to be tied as questions like whether Seon-Ji and Moo Young would be successful in finding out the doctor who knows the cure to again transform zombies into humans or not. The show ends with the promise of a continuation in the friendship of the partners as they further go forward in their quest of seeking Moo Young’s identity.
What fan can we expect from Zombie Detective Season 2?
With such an interesting first season, one expects to take the franchise forward as there is a lot of inquisitiveness in the audience.
If Zombie Detective Season 2 happens, then one can expect the entry of more characters playing the role of zombies, carrying the plot forward; more subplots leading to more mystery and tension that will be further solved by Moo-Young and Seon-Ji can also take place.
More information regarding Moo-Young’s identity will also raise the element of intrigue in the audience.
It is difficult to specifically tell anything vis-à-vis what can happen further in Zombie Detective Season 2 and everything is up for speculation, one can, however, expect and look forward to all these things in case a second season happens.

How is the show rated so far?
From a series that revolves around zombies and mysteries one expects some kind of bone chilling experience that keeps one at the edge of their seats while watching this television series.
However, by the end of the series, no doubt it captures the nuances of a zombie struggling in a man’s world, the zombie-life somewhat became a caricature where the protagonist finds a BB cream that helps him to survive in the city, in broad daylight.
The zombie wears the cap of a detective, buys BB creams, performs in dance functions and spends time with children. He is everything that one does not expect from a zombie. With a whopping 7.3 out of 10 on IMDb and 8.2 out of 10 on MyDramaList, Zombie Detective got mixed responses from the audience.
While few fans really enjoyed the comic relief provided by the series’ unique plot line, others considered it to have a bizarre premise of a handsome zombie’s life. The slapstick humour provided by the series with its quirks was so away from reality that the fantasy world ironically entertained the audience thoroughly.
