Arthdal Chronicles Season 2: Renewal And Production Status
Following the immense viewership records and huge success in the US, Netflix renewed the K-drama for Arthdal Chronicles Season 2 in February 2020. But, unfortunately, the production had to be suspended due to Covid-19. Moreover, Netflix also removed the show from the list of upcoming shows in 2021. The creators have also kept quiet in revealing any details about the second season.
Thus, fans are speculating that Netflix is secretly working on the second installment currently. Earlier in May 2020, an Instagram Post revealed some crew pictures from the sets of season 2. However, the post was taken down immediately. Thus, it is highly possible that the second season is being filmed secretly. In addition, Soong Joong-ki who plays Eun-seom was presumed to be growing his hair around May. Thus, it could also be another sign that the planning for the second season was underway.
Arthdal Chronicles Season 2: What To Expect?
The story will pick up from where it left at the end of the first season. Eun-seom will continue to focus on bringing his tribe to its ancient glory. He will do whatever he can to save his tribe. However, he might face some threatening enemies along the way, which could make things difficult for the rising leader.
Meanwhile, fans can expect to see him falling with a beautiful and charming person next season. Also, Eun-seom might end up at crossroads. And he would have to choose between his love and his lifelong dream in Arthdal Chronicles Season 2.
Who Will Feature In The Next Season?
The lead cast members will return for season 2. The list includes Jang Dong-gun as Ta-gon, Song Joong-Ki as Eun-seom & Saya. In addition, Kim Hi-won as Tan-ya, and Kim Ok-vin as Tae Al-ha will also return for Arthdal Chronicles Season 2. Meanwhile, some new cast members would also join the sophomore run of the Kdrama. However, nothing has been announced by the streamer yet.
Arthdal Chronicles Season 2: Premiere Date
If the production restarted in May 2021, it could be expected to end by early 2022.
