Netflix's hit Korean drama "Bloodhounds" is gearing up for an action-packed second season, with both familiar faces and exciting new additions to the cast.
The series, which captivated audiences in its first season with the story of two young boxers fighting against a predatory loan shark, will welcome celebrated Korean star Jung Ji-hoon (Rain) as its new antagonist. Jung will portray the mastermind behind an illegal underground boxing operation, setting up an intense new conflict for the returning heroes.
Fan favorites Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi are set to reprise their roles as the determined young boxers. Adding to the star power, 2PM member Chansung has also been confirmed to join the ensemble cast, though details about his character remain under wraps.
The original series, adapted from a popular webtoon, made waves on Netflix in 2023 with its compelling narrative and high-stakes drama. Season 2 promises to expand the show's universe while maintaining the gritty authenticity that drew viewers to the first installment.
Production for the new season is currently underway, though Netflix has yet to announce an official release date. The addition of Jung Ji-hoon, a veteran performer known for both his acting and musical career, suggests an ambitious expansion of the show's scope and storytelling.
As anticipation builds for this new chapter, viewers can expect fresh challenges, intensified action sequences, and deeper character development when "Bloodhounds" returns to screens.
