Gyeongseong Creature is set to return for a second season and extend its narrative from the tumultuous spring of 1945 to the bustling streets of modern-day Seoul. This continuation, set against the backdrop of monstrous creations born from human greed, will further entwine the fates of Jang Tae-sang and Yoon Chae-ok.
Season 2 takes a dramatic leap through time as revealed in the intriguing post-credit footage of Season 1. In this scene, a character called Ho-jae, who bears a striking resemblance to Jang Tae-sang, turns to reveal a mysterious scar, which ignites a flurry of questions about his identity and the scar's origin. This moment also serves as a time travel gateway to modern Seoul. The released stills amplify the mystery and captures Chae-ok at a critical juncture suggesting a season brimming with enigmatic events and connections. Director Chung Dong-yoon shared his vision for this new chapter by stating: "Season 2 presents a story with a completely different charm. The change in space and time period will provide a clear distinction and offer an expanded universe feel."
Han So-hee will also star in Season 2.
Now streaming on Netflix, Season 1 captivated audiences worldwide with its unique blend of period drama and fantastical elements, earning praise from international media. CNN hailed the show saying "it deserves to be a monster hit", while Time magazine noted: "It is also about the world we live in today." Just three days after release, Season 1 gained the spot in the Global Top 10 list (Non-English speaking market) and appeared in the Top 10 list of 69 countries across the globe including Brazil, Japan, Singapore, France, Australia and Thailand.
The suspense around the series was further fuelled by the cliffhanger from Season 1's finale and the anticipation of how the characters will evolve. The actors, including Park Seo-jun and Han So-hee, have hinted at deeper character developments in the upcoming season.
Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 is poised to reveal a larger, more dynamic story.
