Sweet Home was one of those series that pleasantly surprised me. I was a huge fan of the webtoon (which you should read now if you haven’t yet) and was a little worried that they wouldn’t be able to capture the awesomeness of the manhwa. But there really wasn’t anything to be worried about. As always, Netflix did a fantastic job bringing the series to life and got me absolutely hooked, even with the changes that they made.
In fact, even though my heart broke because my favorite character didn’t make it to the end; I have continued to wait for updates for a second season thanks to the unique monsters, gripping storyline, heart-pounding action, and the rest of the amazing cast. Well, we finally have updates, people!!!
Netflix has confirmed the back-to-back production of Sweet Home Seasons 2 and 3, with an expanded storyline and cast. That’s right. We’re not just getting one confirmed season; we’re getting two!!! And they have announced the cast who will be returning and more.
Beloved stars Song Kang and Lee Jin-uk, along with the original cast members, Lee Si-young, Ko Min-si, and Park Kyu-young will be returning. They will reunite with hit director Lee Eung-bok, to tell the unfinished story of the survivors of Green Home. Newly confirmed cast members Yoo Oh-seong, Oh Jung-se, Kim Moo-yeol, and Jung Jin-young round up the ensemble.

“Season 2 will include a new setting, and the technical details that we couldn’t refine in Season 1 will be further honed in Season 2,” teases Director Lee, hinting at a wider franchise universe and even more stunning visuals.
When Season 1 of Sweet Home landed on Netflix in 2020, its terrifying monsters and clever storytelling set a new benchmark in the creature feature genre, winning rave reviews from fans. The series went on to win international awards such as the 2021 Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA) and the 3rd Asia Contents Awards.
