Zombieverse: New Blood (Netflix) Story :-
The first season of Zombieverse was undeniably interesting, though in a rather confusing way, and now Season 2 aims to ramp up the action and intrigue. This time, the show expands beyond the streets of Seoul, taking the chaos to a larger scale and introducing even more unique—and often perplexing—challenges for the participants to navigate as bloodthirsty zombies take over the world. The question now is: how many will survive this new, even more intense season?

Zombieverse: New Blood (Netflix) Review :-
Every time I watch an episode of Zombieverse, I can’t help but laugh at how everything and everyone seems to revolve around Dex and his uncanny ability to overcome any obstacle thrown his way. Zombieverse Season 2, or Zombieverse: New Blood, follows the same formula, continuing its journey of putting well-known public figures into a reality TV-style scenario where they must fight to survive against the undead. Thankfully, Andre Rush proves to be just as capable when it comes to handling zombies, adding a bit of strength to the mix!
This season, Ro Hong-chul is revealed to be a half-zombie, half-human hybrid whose blood might hold the key to curing the viral outbreak. While the premise is intriguing, credit has to go to the show’s exceptional world-building, makeup, and practical effects teams. They’ve done a stellar job in crafting a post-apocalyptic world that feels tangible and immersive. The stunt performers, too, are so skilled that it’s hard not to get caught up in their convincing performances.
That said, it’s the cast that continues to let the show down. While we all know that reality TV isn’t truly “real,” the cast’s behavior can be so grating at times that you almost wish they’d become a zombie’s next meal. Much like in the previous season, many of the participants are so inept that you start to question if they have any basic survival instincts. It’s frustrating because the line between reality and fiction is so blurred here—nothing feels truly authentic, but neither does it feel like a well-executed scripted show. In the end, you’re left stuck in this limbo, unsure how to feel about what you’re watching.
Once again, I found myself wondering what the show actually expects from its viewers. Sure, there are moments of humor that land, and the actors do a decent job portraying their characters. But as a reality TV show, Zombieverse completely misses the mark. The situations the cast finds themselves in feel so far-fetched that it’s impossible to take any of it seriously. It’s hard to believe we’ve been given nearly seven hours of content when Season 1 already felt like overkill. This season tries to introduce some narrative twists, like the vaccine plotline, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen in countless other zombie-themed shows and movies.
What’s more, the series wants us to believe there’s significant political tension between the cast members, like the whole dramatic moment over who gets to ride the helicopter in episode 2. But none of it feels authentic. Even after several episodes, I’m still unsure whether I’m supposed to feel genuine tension or fear for these actors—after all, there are no zombies lurking outside my window (at least, not yet). During the action scenes, there’s no real sense of urgency or danger, leaving me to just laugh at the absurdity of it all. Ultimately, the show falls into a weird cycle where you’re either amused by the ridiculous moments or left scratching your head in confusion for the rest of the time.
Zombieverse: New Blood (Netflix) Trailor :-
Ultimately, Zombieverse Season 2 is simply too goofy to take seriously. I’m left confused about what the show is even trying to be—whether it’s a zombie survival guide, a fictional drama, or a reality TV series. The real issue, however, is that the show never commits to any of these, taking nothing seriously in the process. The zombie attacks feel staged (because they are), and the interactions come off as scripted. The running gag of miscommunication between Andre and the others quickly turns cringeworthy, to the point where you just want it to end for the sake of your own sanity. It’s frustrating that the series can’t pick a direction, instead offering up a chaotic mishmash of random elements. The odd format simply doesn’t work.
Final Thought
Much like its first season, Zombieverse: New Blood fails to leave a lasting impact, primarily due to its confusing blend of genres. The show never fully commits to the intensity of its kills or the perilous situations it presents. Adding to the confusion, it’s unclear whether we’re watching a reality TV show or a scripted series, making everything feel insignificant and lacking in excitement. As the show progresses, the randomness of it all becomes more frustrating than entertaining, leaving viewers wondering what, if anything, is worth investing in.
