When is Gyeongseong Creature season 2 coming to Netflix?
Netflix has yet to confirm a release date for the second season of Gyeongseong Creature. At the very least, we have confirmation that the K-drama will return sometime in 2024. Most likely, it will be sometime in the Summer of 2024.
We’ll learn more soon.
What to expect from Gyeongseong Creature season 2
A huge change is in store for the second season of Gyeongseong Creature, as the series will now take place in modern-day Seoul. Seventy-eight years after the events of season 1.
It’s unclear if Ho Jae (played by Park Seo Joon) is a descendant of Jang Tae Sang, a reincarnation, or if Jang Tae Sang is taking on a new identity thanks to the theory that the Najin has dramatically slowed down his ability to age.

Netflix Korea shared some first-look images for the second season of Gyeongseong Creature, confirming that Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee will reunite.
Netflix Korea’s tweet, when translated into English, states;
“After 78 years, let us meet again.”
This small line heavily suggests that Jang Tae Sang and Yoon Chae Ok will meet again.
78년의 세월을 지나, 우리 다시 만납시다.

Who are the cast members of Gyeongseong Creature season 2?
Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee will be returning. However, thanks to the introduction of the modern-day setting, it’s currently unclear if they are reprising their roles as Jang Tae Sang and Yoon Chae Ok or if they are playing brand new roles. The idea that the pair are playing descendants or the reincarnations of Jang Tae Sang and Yoon Chae Ok has been suggested.
For now, it seems Park Seo Joon will play Ho Jae’s role.
