During an interview with the Associated Press, Hwang stated:
“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice! But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently.”
Although the hit show creator expressed that it may be too early to give concrete details, he mentioned that lead actor Lee Jung-jae will return as Seong Gi-hun.
I love this show. These actors are so great.
