The popular Korean revenge series "Taxi Driver" is officially returning. Following a peak national viewership of 21%, the show comes back for its third season — with even bigger scale and intensity.
SBS confirmed, as reported by Allkpop, that "Taxi Driver Season 3" will air on November 21, continuing the tale of the vigilante group from Rainbow Taxi Company who bring justice to where the system has failed.
In the just-released teaser, old themes of revenge and redemption come out. A strong line from CEO Jang, an actor played by Kim Eui Sung, is heard once more:
"Don't die. Let's take revenge together."
The line heralds the return of Rainbow Transport's quest to restore victims' dignity.
As reported by Wikitree, the new season expands its narrative beyond Korea. The trailer hints at a collaboration with Interpol, with Kim Do Gi (Lee Jae Hoon) seen participating in an international joint operation. The story will focus on tackling global human trafficking and illegal private loan organizations, showing the team's evolution into a worldwide force against injustice.

One teaser scene also showcases the series' high production level. Having busted an illegal gambling syndicate in Vietnam earlier, "Taxi Driver 3" goes further into cross-border crimes, delving into topics such as illegal loan sharks, human trafficking, and foreign job scams.
At the heart of the narrative is still Lee Jae Hoon, whose acting of Kim Do Gi continues to define the franchise. He is back with his signature bare-fisted fighting and high-speed car chases, assuring enhanced action scenes and more complex undercover operations.
Returning with him are veteran cast members Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin, Jang Hyuk Jin, and Bae Yoo Ram. The Rainbow Transport team must endure its riskiest mission yet — one that will challenge their loyalty and reveal secrets about their company.
The teaser concludes with a poignant phrase: "The beginning and the end of Taxi Driver."
The statement is intentionally ambiguous, suggesting possible climactic developments — or possibly signalling the end of Kim Do Gi and his team's story.
The show, known for portraying relevant, real-world social issues such as school violence, cults, and cyber sex crimes, still holds appeal for younger audiences, as it is exciting and imbued with a moral force and social justice.
While we wait, "Taxi Driver 3" is again set to be the preeminent revenge drama in Korea, combining social issues, sensational action, and emotive drama into one captivating narrative.
