Disney+ officially announced it Made in Korea Season 2 will premiere in September 2026, unveiling its first teaser poster and pre-teaser trailer that hint at an even bigger power struggle.
Set nine years after the events of the first season, the new season follows Baek Ki Tae (played by Hyun Bin) as he pursues greater political power and ambition in a dangerous new chapter of the acclaimed noir drama.
The newly released teaser poster shows Baek Ki Tae sitting confidently inside an executive office, radiating authority. Although he achieved everything he sought in the season one finale, his expression suggests a lingering void beneath his newfound power.
A reading on the nameplate “Director Baek Ki Tae” appears next to the striking slogan: “Remember that. We’re doing this for our country, out of patriotism.” The phrase suggests how patriotism may once again be used to justify ruthless political decisions in the coming season.
The pre-teaser opens with Baek Ki Tae sitting in the presidential office, declaring: “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.” The footage then moves into fast-paced action sequences, introducing the military forces opposing the Korean Central Intelligence Agency and showing an intense confrontation between Baek Ki Tae and Baek Ki Hyun (played by Woo Do Hwan). The escalation of the conflict suggests an all-out battle for political control.
One of the teaser’s biggest surprises comes in the final moments. Jung Woo Sung’s character Jang Geon Young, who was defeated by Baek Ki Tae in season 1, returns unexpectedly. Baek Ki Tae’s stunned reaction suggests that the rivalry between the two men is far from over and that an even bloodier power struggle lies ahead.
Director Woo Min Ho, who successfully directed the first season, returns to direct the sequel. The cast includes: Hyun Bin, Jung Woo Sung, Woo Do Hwan, Seo Eun Soo, Won Ji An, Jung Sung Il and Noh Jae Won. The combination of returning stars and new developments is expected to raise the stakes even further.
According to Disney+, Made in Korea it became the most-watched Korean original series of 2025 on the platform. The series has also been recognized internationally, with TIME naming it one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2026, helping to increase global anticipation for the sequel.
Made in Korea Season 2 will premiere exclusively on Disney+ in September 2026.
