After a long wait, Netflix has finally confirmed the anticipated return for Hellbound Season 2 coming in late 2024.
Netflix had renewed Hellbound for a second season back in 2022 which got into production in mid-2023. Finally, in 2024, the second season would be arriving with some big changes notably in the lead actor meaning the replacement of Yoo Ah-In in the role of Jung Jinsu by Kim Sung-Cheol.
Here’s everything we know about the second season so far!
Hellbound Season 2 Renewal Status
The series was one of the biggest K-Dramas to be released in 2021 only second to the worldwide phenomenal Squid Game. The show has been critically acclaimed whilst carrying a 97% Fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.
Since the first season had been released several months ago, fans had stopped expecting any news on renewal and were convinced that the series would undoubtedly NOT return for a second season.
However, when the news broke at the Netflix TUDUM event, everyone was left surprised by the renewal announcement.
