Will There Be 'Bloodhounds' Season 2?

In addition, the series ended on a clean slate, leaving viewers with no cliffhangers.
However, most of the hit series like "Squid Games," "All of Us Are Dead," "Pachinko," and more returned with sequels, so there's still a chance that "Bloodhounds" will have a sequel.
What Will Be the Focus of 'Bloodhounds' Season 2?
If given a chance that "Bloodhounds" will be among the 2023 K-dramas returning with a sequel, Kim Gun Woo and Hong Woo Jin might experience another death-defying situation and encounter a different crisis.
"Bloodhounds" season 2 might also feature the whereabouts of Kim Hyun Joo, who disappeared in the middle of the season after someone so dear to her died.
To recall, Kim Sae Ron's appearance in the Netflix series was trimmed due to the her DUI controversy in 2022.
