When is Gyeongseong Creature season 2 coming to Netflix?
With the official teaser trailer released, we have confirmation that Gyeongseong Creature is coming to Netflix on September 27th, 2024.
What to expect from Gyeongseong Creature season 2
A huge change is in store for the second season of Gyeongseong Creature, as the series will now take place in modern-day Seoul. Seventy-eight years after the events of season 1.
It’s unclear if Ho Jae (played by Park Seo Joon) is a descendant of Jang Tae Sang, a reincarnation, or if Jang Tae Sang is taking on a new identity thanks to the theory that the Najin has dramatically slowed down his ability to age.

Netflix Korea shared some first-look images for the second season of Gyeongseong Creature, confirming that Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee will reunite.
Netflix Korea’s tweet, when translated into English, states;
“After 78 years, let us meet again.”
This small line heavily suggests that Jang Tae Sang and Yoon Chae Ok will meet again.
78년의 세월을 지나, 우리 다시 만납시다.

Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee will be returning.
