Sweet Home Season 2 Release Date Is Officially Confirmed and What We Know So Far

Sweet Home got off to a rip-roaring and bloody start to life on Netflix. But fifteen months on and Netflix has yet to officially confirm renewal. However, thanks to social media, it looks like production has now begun on the second season of Sweet Home. Here’s everything we know so far.

Sweet Home is a Netflix Original horror K-Drama series, based on the webtoon comic of the same name by Yongchan Hwang. The series is produced by Studio Dragon, who has also been responsible for other popular K-Dramas such as My Holo Love, Love Alarm, Arthdal Chronicles, and Crash Landing on You.

When will Sweet Home season 2 be released?

Although it has been more than a year since the first season aired, Netflix has yet to confirm that the series will return for a second season.

In July 2021, it was reported that filming and production of season two would begin by year’s end, with Song Kang, Lee Jin-wook and Lee Si-young set to return – though, this was never confirmed.

Come December 2021, Song’s agency Namoo Actors confirmed that the actor was in talks to return to the series, but has not officially accepted the role. Around the same time, Netflix Korea also stated that “nothing has been decided yet” regarding the second season of Sweet Home nor the casting of actors for the show.

Sweet Home director Lee Eung-bok had previously opened up about the possibility of a second season when the K-drama was originally released in 2020. During a press conference for the series, Lee revealed that he and his team had already completed the series’ storyline and hoped for the opportunity to bring it to fruition.

“While we were writing, we completed the end of the storyline ourselves so there are a couple things that came out after we were done,” the director said, as translated by Soompi. “If the opportunity arises, we want to also introduce the monsters that we weren’t able to.”

What to expect from Sweet Home season 2?

The season finale of Sweet Home left us with plenty to ponder for season 2.

What happened to Sang-Wook?

Prior to the final moments of season 1, we last saw Sang-Wook dying in a pool of his own blood after attempting to help Yu Ri. The last twist of the season was Cha Hyun Soo awakening in the military van, being driven by a scarless Sang-Wook.

One of two things could have possibly happened to Sang Wook. Firstly, Sang Wook has either undergone his own metamorphosis and is currently in the Golden Hour before he transforms into a monster. Secondly, we last saw Myeong making an escape in a military van after being defeated by Cha Hyun Soo, and as his powers appear to be taking possession of other humans, he could have taken control of Sang Wook’s body.
