When can we expect Hellbound Season 2?
According to a recent report by South Korean news outlet Ada Daily, the production for Hellbound Season 2 is expected to commence this summer. There remains a possibility that the second season might not make its comeback in 2023 at all, considering the time-consuming aspects of filming and post-production, which usually takes around three to six months to complete.
Given the circumstances, our prediction is that the show might aim for a release window around late summer or fall of 2024.
As a streaming giant, Netflix is known for not releasing multiple seasons at once unless a series achieves significant popularity and budget approval. Therefore, expectations are high, and fans are hopeful for the prediction of Hellbound Season 2 consisting of about six episodes, each running for approximately 42 to 60 minutes. Once released, the second season will be available exclusively on Netflix.
While the wait is indeed agonizing, keep an eye on the channel for more updates on Hellbound Season 2. Fingers crossed, we hope to witness the thrilling continuation of this captivating series in the near future.
