- Made in Korea returns for Season 2 on Sept. 9, streaming exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu across six episodes, with a two-episode premiere followed by two new episodes each Wednesday through Sept. 23.
- Hyun Bin reprises Baek Kitae, now deputy director within the Korean CIA, who has expanded his drug operations and wealth after framing prosecutor Jang Geonyoung.
- Jung Woosung returns as Jang Geonyoung, emerging from the shadows to pursue a revenge plot nearly a decade in the making as both men escalate tactics to eliminate each other.
- Woo Dohwan returns as Baek Kihyun, Kitae's brother, completing the core trio carried over from Season 1.
- Season 1 was Disney+'s top-viewed Korean original series premiere in the Asia-Pacific region in 2025, giving the streamer a proven hit to build Season 2 around.
- Park Eunkyo returns as writer alongside director Woo Minho, with Hive Media Corp producing — the same team behind "The Man Standing Next," "Inside Men" and "12.12: The Day."
Why it matters: For Disney+ and Hulu, greenlighting a second season of "Made in Korea" after it became the platform's top-viewed Korean original premiere in Asia-Pacific in 2025 gives the streamers a proven Korean crime-noir anchor for their September slate, which also includes "A Shop for Killers," "The Manipulated" and "Tempest."
