Sweet Home 2 teaser: Song Kang battles for humanity in the new season

The highly anticipated return of the South Korean series, Sweet Home, has been teased in a brand-new teaser for its upcoming second season. Starring Song Kang as the troubled high school student Cha Hyun-soo, the series, based on the webtoon by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan, gained immense popularity for its unique blend of horror and drama.

Sweet Home 2 teaser promises a different storyline

The teaser hints at a dramatic shift in the storyline, revealing that the boundary between humans and monsters has blurred by the end of the first season. As Cha Hyun-soo navigates a world overrun by monsters, season 2 promises to expand the show's scope significantly, portraying an apocalyptic scenario on a global scale.

Director Lee Eung-bok shared insights into the upcoming season during a press release, describing it as a "full-fledged" apocalyptic drama. Unlike the confined space of the Green Home in season one, the new season will introduce a fresh group of characters and monsters, exploring the challenges they face in an expansive, open setting.

"While season one portrayed tension and fear in the confined space of the Green Home, season two will be set in an open space with the introduction of a whole new group of characters and monsters," he said.

New faces in Sweet Home 2

While fan-favourite cast members like Song Kang, Lee Si-young, Lee Jin-wook, Go Min-si, and Park Gyu-young make a return, season 2 will also include a few new faces. Notable additions include Yoo Oh-seong, Oh Jung-se, Kim Mu-yeol, and others, promising a dynamic mix of talent for the audiences.

Sweet Home, which premiered in 2020, marked a turning point for South Korean content on Netflix. Breaking into the Top 10 on Netflix's U.S. chart, the show paved the way for the success of other South Korean genre shows, such as the global phenomenon Squid Game and the gripping zombie drama All Of Us Are Dead.
