One of the first webtoon adaptations for a Netflix Original from Korea, Sweet Home brought horror and the supernatural into conversation with important explanations of mental health. The series’ 10 episodes captured audiences and critics alike and after a shocking cliffhanger ending, Sweet Home Season 2 has a wide open road to grow on. Directed by Lee Eung-bok and Park So-hyeon the series is based on the original story by Kim Kanbi & Hwang Young-chan (published on Naver Webtoon). And by the looks of the first trailer, we’re in for one wild ride.

The first season centered around Cha Hyun-su (Song Kang), a reclusive high school student who moved into a new apartment building called Green Home. In the face of a crisis where individuals turned into monsters reflecting their innermost desires, Hyun-su broke out of his shell to save others. Now, they’ve left the complex and the world has gone to the monsters.

What to Expect from the Second Season?
Official synopsis: “In a world where desire turns monstrous, Sweet Home Season 2 follows Green Home survivors and Hyun-su each fighting to survive in new places, while other beings and mysterious phenomena emerge. The date announcement poster features a dilapidated baseball stadium, which will serve as the backdrop for the second season. The main characters depart from the Green Home, the site of their previous monster battles, and are compelled to venture into the outside world. Survivors have gathered at what is left of the stadium and built a community, but they still cannot let their guard down. The evolving storyline promises heightened anticipation as the characters confront new dangers in different environments, where they have to fight against both external monsters and their own monstrous desires.”
This new and unique narrative is set to expand on the original webtoon, and director Lee Eung-bok consulted with writer Kim Kanbi (Kim Carnby) and had in-depth discussions about the hidden premises in the original webtoon and the expanded world-building in the upcoming season while keeping what made the original story so compelling. Ramping it up into a full-fledged apocalyptic drama, Sweet Home Season 2 will be about survival on a larger scale and hopes to embrace the vastly sprawling world with the introduction of a whole new group of characters.
