Over the past several years, we’ve seen plenty of new reality shows on Netflix Korea, but Culinary Class Wars is Netflix’s first culinary competition show in the region. Talented chefs will compete against each other as hidden masters of cooking, represented by the “Black Spoon,” have the opportunity to challenge all-star chefs, represented by the “White Spoon.” Among the judges ready to give their verdict are Ahn Sung-Jae, the owner of MOSU Seoul, Korea’s only three-star restaurant, and famed restaurateur Paik Jong-won.
Zombieverse (Season 2)
Episodes: TBA
Genre: Horror, Survival
Coming to Netflix: 2024

Despite an underwhelming first season, we are entirely on board for a second season of Zombieverse. The idea behind the show should be an easy win for Netflix, but arguably, the rough execution of the first season resulted in mixed reviews and low viewing figures. Our hope for the second season is more horror, zombies, and formidable challenges for the new survivors.
The new season will go beyond Seoul as the undead spread across Korea. Meanwhile, larger-than-life survivors will face tough challenges to survive the undead horde, with a few laughs along the way.
