Established and rising stars are mulling offers to appear in a range of K-dramas on the horizon, including a zombie horror, an inheritance drama, a fantasy romance and a culinary-themed period drama.<\/p>\n

We Are the Zombies<\/h3>\n

Doh Kyung-soo and Kim Do-yeon are both currently in talks to appear in the touted zombie drama We Are the Zombies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Set in Seoul Tower, a fictional shopping centre, the series follows a zombie outbreak where characters unable to escape in time must find a way to coexist with the undead. Doh and Kim have been offered the parts of Kim In-jong and Kim So-young, two of the survivors trapped inside.<\/p>\n

A member of the K-pop outfit Exo<\/span>, Doh (also known as D.O.) has been a consistent presence on screens for more than a decade, most recently appearing in the Disney+ action-thriller The Manipulated<\/em><\/span>.<\/div>\n

Kim, also a singer, first became known as a member of the group I.O.I and later Weki Meki. She has been building her screen career over the past few years, notably appearing as the title character in Dora<\/em> (2026) from acclaimed filmmaker July Jung, which debuted in the Directors\u2019 Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival in May.<\/p>\n

Seorabeol Knife<\/h3>\n
Popular heartthrob Cha Eun-woo<\/span> has been offered the leading role in Seorabeol Knife<\/em>, a spin-off of 2025\u2019s hit cooking-themed period drama Bon App\u00e9tit, Your Majesty<\/em><\/span>, which reached a peak viewership rating of 17.1 per cent.<\/div>\n
