The two are eventually caught up in a web of lies and darker forces who make things miserable for them.

Bloodhounds Season 2: Is It Renewed Yet?

Nearly a year later, Bloodhounds returned with a much-needed update. The first season aired on June 9, 2023, and rocked the entertainment world with its powerful storytelling and action. There’s no doubt that the series was a big hit on Netflix. According to FlixPatrol, the show was the most popular series on Netflix. The K-drama secured the 9th position on the top ten list, surpassing Crash Course In Romance.

In addition, Bloodhounds remained on the Netflix Global Top Ten for five weeks in 83 countries. It has been highly appreciated in South Korea, where it ruled the global charts for seven weeks straight. Surprisingly, Bloodhounds made its way to the United States top ten list. Thus, there’s no denying that the series is highly popular, and fans are clamoring for Bloodhounds Season 2.

To your surprise, the K-drama is already in talks about future development. On April 29, Korean news outlet Sports Seoul reported that Bloodhound might return with a Season 2. According to reports, Netflix is planning Bloodhounds kdrama Season 2. The statement further states that the lead actors, Lee Sang Yi and Woo Do Hwan, have gained tremendous popularity, and the audience has dramatically appreciated their bromance in the first season. So, without further thought, the lead actors will return to enchant the audience again.

But Netflix Has Yet To Renew Bloodhounds

While Sports Seoul suggests that Netflix has been planning to return with another season, the streaming giant has denied such claims. According to reports, the streaming giant has secretly renewed the series for Bloodhounds Season 2. However, a representative of Netflix recently revealed that, at this moment, there are no such words for season 2.

Netflix

The rep said, “We are discussing it positively,” things are currently in the talking stage. That means the streaming giant hasn’t yet confirmed the series’ second season. But that doesn’t mean Bloodhounds kdrama Season 2 isn’t on the cards. Netflix has called the eight-episode season “season one” rather than “limited.” This means the streaming giant has envisioned the show returning for future developments. If this is the case, we believe the show will definitely return with a sophomore run. Still, let’s wait for the official announcement.

Director Teases There’s More To Explore In Bloodhounds Season 2

The reports suggest that the streaming giant is discussing continuing with the Bloodhounds saga. During this, director Kim Joo Hwan indicated that he has plans for Bloodhounds Season 2. In the post-release interview, Joo Hwan voiced his excitement to return with another season. He said that he has been optimistic about the series’ future and wants to expand Bloodhounds as long as it can take.

Joo Hwan has suggested that he already has plans for how the second season will look and what narrative it will follow. He states, “If Season 2 materializes, I aim to explore additional narratives.” He has already mapped out the second season and how things will be played off.

Netflix

With continued support, Joo Hwan wishes to push the boundaries and focus entirely on different storylines. This will help them pick the pace from where things have concluded. Although the series director hasn’t yet revealed how things will turn in Bloodhounds kdrama Season 2, his statement suggests they have already finished the scripting part.

Bloodhounds Season 2: When Will Production Begin?

Netflix has yet to officially renew Bloodhounds Season 2. However, this doesn’t mean the show willn’t undergo filming. If you remember, Netflix secretly renewed Virgin River for future developments a long time back. The series even underwent filming without receiving an official announcement.

So if Bloodhounds follows the same timeline, then we believe the series will also undergo production relatively soon. Surprisingly, the reports suggest that the series is already gearing up for its production. As per Sports Seoul, the show is scheduled to start filming in the second half of this year (2024).

Netflix

Typically, the production work takes time. But if the show starts filming in the second half of this year, it will take only seven to eight months to wrap up production and post-production work. But again, neither the production house nor any cast members have confirmed the production status. This suggests that the show has time to start filming. We will update you once we learn the official announcement.

Bloodhounds Season 2 Cast Details

Official reports have already suggested that the show will return with the lead characters. That means Woo Do Hwan will return as Kim Geon Woo, and Lee Sang Yi will return as Hong Woo Jin in Bloodhounds Season 2. Park Sung-Woong’s character, Kim Myeong Gil, was already sent behind bars, so it remains unclear whether he will return.

Huh Joon Ho can also return as Choi Tae Ho and Kim Sae-Ron as Cha Hyun Joo. But it remains to be seen who else will join the sophomore run. Many characters’ story arcs have been concluded, so we expect some new enemies to enter the picture.

Bloodhounds Season 2: What To Expect Next?

Before delving deeper into Bloodhounds Season 2, let’s take a look at the pilot season’s recap. In the first season, the former Marines and talented boxers Woo Jin and Geon Woo spent their time finding a way to take down loan shark Myeong Gil, the owner of money lending organization Smile Capital. Since Geon-Woo was in debt, he entered the world of loan sharks to settle things. But they discovered that things were messier than they appeared.

By the end of the first season, the duo joined hands with Gang Yong and Hong Min Beom to take down the loan shark. However, Myeong Gil had already planned to flee the country to Vietnam with the laundered money and gold. His attempt went in vain as both the boxers defeated Myeong Gil and arrested him for the crime charges.

After successfully solving the case, the pair were rewarded and eventually returned to their normal lives. Since the first season has neatly wrapped up their story, it doesn’t seem like it will focus on Myeong Gil’s story arc. Bloodhounds kdrama Season 2 might introduce another powerful villain.

There’s a possibility that Myeong Gil was just a pawn, and someone else controlled him. If that’s the case, we will learn who the mastermind behind this great money laundering is in the forthcoming season. As of now, the director hasn’t yet revealed the official synopsis of the next season. But all we can say now is that the second season will be full of blast.

Bloodhounds Season 2 Release Date

Netflix

Netflix has yet to renew the show for the second season officially. However, reports suggest that the show will soon enter the production stage. If the source is trusted, the show will start filming sometime in late 2024. Since filming and post-production work takes seven to eight months, we can expect Bloodhounds Season 2 to be released sometime in the fall of 2025. This is all for now. Stay tuned.
