I’m as surprised as anyone that Netflix series Bloodhounds is getting a second season. I didn’t expect as much considering the story arc of the first season provided enough closure, but to see another round of action and drama well on the way is a nice little pick-me-up to start the new year.
Jason Kim of Officer Black Belt fame is returning to the show, back at the helm as writer and director for a cast once again led by Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi, along with the new addition of recording artist Jung Ji-hoon – a.k.a. Rain (Ninja Assassin). Studio N is producing the series along with Seven O Six, and Ghost Studio, based on Jeong Chan’s hit webtoon of the same name.
Read last week’s announcement below for more, and feel free to revisit my review of the first season here.
The production and cast of Bloodhounds Season 2 have been announced, bringing back your favorite boxing duo with a fresh twist — a new villain. After dismantling a heinous loan shark ring, Gun-woo (Woo Do-hwan) and Woo-jin (Lee Sang-yi) are set to land another exhilarating straight hook, this time against a global underground boxing league led by Baek-jeong (Jung Ji-hoon).
Based on the webtoon of the same name, the first season of Bloodhounds ranked in the Top 10 across 83 countries following its release in June 2023. Fans worldwide loved the teamwork and spirit shared by the courageous pair, Gun-woo and Woo-jin.
In season 2, Woo Do-hwan (Mr. Plankton, The King: Eternal Monarch) returns as Gun-woo, who embodies the righteous “heart of a boxer.” Lee Sang-yi (My Demon, No Gain No Love) reprises his role as Woo-jin, Gun-woo’s bold and brave friend and fellow boxer. Together, they reunite to take down an illegal boxing league. Jung Ji-hoon (Take 1, Red Swan) steps into his first villain role as Baek-jeong, who uses his power and any means necessary to draw Gun-woo and Woo-jin into the underground boxing world.
Get ready for another action-packed adventure with Bloodhounds Season 2, only on Netflix.
