It’s too early to say whether this is a financial smart move but the production company behind the big budget fantasy sageuk Arthdal Chronicles has announced officially that season 2 of the series would indeed be made. Filming is scheduled to commence September of 2020 which means the drama won’t even air until 2021. With season dramas there at least has maintain the momentum, much less one that aired to less that stellar ratings and didn’t come close to justifying its massive budget. Also announced was the return of all four main leads Song Joong Ki, Jang Dong Gun, Kim Ji Won, and Kim Ok Bin, since all are under contract, but PD Kim Won Seok (My Ahjusshi, Misaeng, Signal) is not returning to direct season 2. I hope the second season has a better cinematographer so everything doesn’t look bathed in murkiness.

It didn't help any of the actor's career and secondly there is not much fanbase for this show. Anyways i hope it work for sjk n kjw. But don't have much expectations. Show wasnt that bad the way people were describing. If investors r investing that means they might have break even if not any profit
Personally I loooooove the show. I was super impressed how differently it was made, unlike the usual Korean series pattern.
It has spice, thrill. It got me expecting another episode. I'm sad to see it so underappreciated. And Mr. Editor what do you mean by so much murkiness? I'd definitely say it's the best Korean series I've yet to see. And I've seen quite a number too. I can't wait for S2...pls don't disappoint! cheobal!
I enjoyed season 1 and appreciated that it was very different than other K dramas. It tried something new and while it had problems, it was still a good and enjoyable show. I am happy the entire cast is returning and very happy for season 2. I think there are many viewers like me that just enjoyed it quietly on Netflix.
I am surprised that AC got green-lighted for 2nd season and so far apart. I wonder whether the JJM phone hacking scandal which mentioned Jang Dong Gun has anything to do with the timing. Waiting perhaps for the negative publicity to die down and hope nobody will remember by next year? Season 1 was not a mega success, nowhere near the buzz created by CLOY yet wasted so much money on the budget. Here's hoping season 2 will prove everyone wrong.
..there are better dramas that deserve a second season.
I don’t see why this can be a good move
Those who didn’t stay on the train for season 1 , isn’t it even more unlikely to come on for season 2? Mind boggling
I don't like this show. I hope tvN won't airing this, so the timeslot will be free for another show, make it really 'Netflix Original'.
Omg, please say no Song Joong Ki. The directing is one of aspect that save that drama for me. So if Kim Won Seok out, the quality of directing might be not as high as the 1st season. Unless you hire Kim Jin Won level directorial.
Umm..can't they stop this production,i'm so sorry for the negatively but theres a lot of scandal from the players itself..oh mine
Financial and rating-wise out of discussion, I'd love to see the second season! The 1st one is definitely not flawless, but its a perfect set-up for the second season with more questions to answer (what the future has in store for JDG KOB pair now they've gone all the way, Tanya's growth, Saya and Eunsom's meeting, Nenathal's role in Arthdal (yes, I refuse to believe that Nichkhun is merely paid to walk and roam around the forests) Mubaek my 2nd fav char, etc) , interactions to made, or if anything else doesn't work, I just want to see it till the end with Eunsom the Carrot Boy and His Horse!
Why did they even bother with this drama
I don’t understand why this drama will have 2 more seasons when it bombed in ratings. Hotel De Luna and Crash Landing on You with lesser budget and aired and on the same time slot and cable channel, buried this drama in viewership ratings.
This drama is laden with issues not just in poor storyline and low quality production but behind the scene controversies. From non-payment of crew wages, cheating scandals of jang dong gun and song jongki then homewrecking of that japanese actress.
If I were the producers, i will just cut my losses and invest in other projects. I don’t want to see jdg again on screen. The other talented actors will be tied and wasting their time filming for the next seasons for months while doing nothing for their careers unless they do it to pay the bills.
At least SJK is working hard
Btw it will so much better if KJW not stuck with this drama and take another project. This is just a waste of her time.
The positive part is that. LOL....
