Disney+ Confirms ‘Made in Korea’ Season 2 Release Window, Promises Darker Power Struggles

The 'Made in Korea' series is set to return with Season 2.

On April 28, The Walt Disney Company Korea announced that 'Made in Korea' Season 2 (written by Park Eun Gyo, directed by Woo Min Ho, hereafter Mainko 2) will premiere in the second half of this year.

'Made in Korea 2' serves as a sequel to the original series. While the first season was set in the 1970s, the upcoming installment takes place nine years later, expanding the story’s timeline.

The characters have grown even more ruthless. Baek Ki Tae (played by Hyun Bin), now at the height of power, joins forces with Jang Gun Young (played by Jung Woo Sung) and Baek Ki Hyun (played by Woo Do Hwan), as their unchecked ambitions spiral further out of control.

First-look stills have also been unveiled, showcasing the trio’s intensified presence. In particular, the tense confrontation between brothers Baek Ki Hyun and Baek Ki Tae has heightened anticipation.

The production team stated, “'Made in Korea 2' depicts a more explicit and dangerous all-out war between these characters,” adding that it is expected to solidify its status as one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2026.

The exact release date has not yet been confirmed, but the series is slated to premiere in the latter half of the year.
