Bloodhounds Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
Netflix hasn't pinned down an exact release date yet, but there's plenty of chatter to piece things together. Filming kicked off in September 2024 and is expected to wrap by April 2025, based on recent posts on X and some entertainment blogs. If we look at how K-dramas typically roll out, production usually takes about a year from filming to release. That puts Bloodhounds Season 2 on track for a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere, possibly around June to match Season 1's debut.
Of course, that's just an educated guess. Netflix could surprise us with a faster turnaround or push it back for extra polish. For now, keep your eyes peeled on Netflix's social media or X for any official announcements. In the meantime, Season 1 is streaming on Netflix—perfect for a rewatch to get you pumped! Who's in the Cast for Bloodhounds Season 2?
The cast is where Bloodhounds shines, and Season 2 is bringing back the heart of the show while adding some major star power. Here's the lowdown: Woo Do-hwan (Kim Gun-woo) : Our favorite boxer with a heart of gold is back. Woo Do-hwan's intense yet soulful performance as Gun-woo made him a fan favorite, and we can't wait to see him throw punches again.

Lee Sang-yi (Hong Woo-jin) : Gun-woo's ride-or-die bestie, Woo-jin, brings the humor and loyalty that made Season 1 so special. Lee Sang-yi's chemistry with Woo Do-hwan is pure magic, and their bromance will likely steal the show again.

Jung Ji-hoon (Rain) as Baek-jeong : Here's the big news—K-pop legend Rain joins as the villain! Playing Baek-jeong, the cutthroat boss of an underground boxing league, Rain is set to deliver a chilling performance. It's his first bad-guy role in over two decades, and fans on X are already losing it.

This is a big moment for Chansung, and his character sounds like he'll stir up plenty of trouble.

Choi Siwon (Hong Min-beom): Returning from Season 1, Siwon reprises his role as Lil Group's director, tying the new story to the original.
One question mark hangs over Kim Sae-ron as Cha Hyun-joo. After her DUI controversy during Season 1's production, her scenes were cut down, and there's no word yet on whether she'll return. Some fans hope she'll get a chance to shine again, while others are curious about new characters filling the gap. What's the Story for Bloodhounds Season 2?
Season 1 followed ex-marines Kim Gun-woo and Hong Woo-jin as they teamed up to take down a vicious loan shark, Kim Myeong-gil, with help from a kindhearted moneylender. The mix of gritty action, emotional stakes, and social commentary—like calling out predatory lending—made it a global hit, racking up 146.7 million viewing hours and landing in Netflix's Top 10 in 83 countries.
So, what's next? Season 2 is diving into a global underground boxing league, where Gun-woo and Woo-jin face off against Rain's menacing Baek-jeong. This new villain uses dirty tactics to drag our heroes into his world of illegal fights, promising even bigger, badder action scenes. Expect the show's signature jaw-dropping choreography, with the duo's friendship tested by moral dilemmas and high-stakes battles.
The story will likely keep exploring themes of loyalty, justice, and standing up to corruption. Season 1 had a few hiccups with pacing in the final episodes, with some fans on Reddit and X noting a shift to a quirkier tone. Here's hoping director Kim Joo-hwan, who's back for Season 2, keeps the balance tight, delivering the intense drama and heart we love.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The new Netflix docuseries, WWE: Unreal, has pulled back the curtain on the original creative plans for this past April's WrestleMania 41. In a series of shocking revelations, the show has unveiled the initial card for the event, which was significantly different from what fans ultimately saw on screen. The series, which premiered on July 29th, gives fans an unprecedented look into the WWE writer's room. It showcases how injuries, creative shifts, and other variables completely change the course of WWE's biggest show of the year. The original planned card for WrestleMania 41 as revealed on 'WWE: UNREAL': • Cody Rhodes v John Cena (Undisputed Title) • Roman Reigns v Seth Rollins • GUNTHER v CM Punk (World Title) • Rhea Ripley v Bianca Belair (Women's World Title) • Bad Bunny v Dominik Mysterio •… — Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) July 29, 2025 The Original Main Event The biggest change revealed was the originally planned main event. The docuseries confirms that the initial plan was for a massive one-on-one match between former Shield brothers, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. As fans know, this match did not happen. The final main event of Night One was changed to a triple-threat match that also included CM Punk, which culminated in Paul Heyman's shocking betrayal and a victory for Seth Rollins. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A Completely Different Card The main event was not the only major change. The docuseries revealed several other marquee matches that were on the original card but were ultimately scrapped or altered.

The Ever-Changing Road to WrestleMania The "Road to WrestleMania" is the period from the Royal Rumble in January to the Showcase of the Immortals in April.

Guillermo del Toro's ‘Frankenstein' Looks Absolutely Stunning
When Guillermo del Toro finally got the chance to make his dream project, an adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, you just knew it was going to be beautiful. Del Toro's films are known for a lot of things, and sumptuous production design and costumes are right near the top of the list. So, it almost goes without saying that a group of new images from the film are stunning, but these almost go beyond that. First revealed in an article by Vanity Fair and then released by Netflix, 10 new images from Frankenstein show characters, scenes, and interpretations that were previously kept secret. Here they are, all at once, and we can discuss a few of them in more detail below. Clearly, we could write tomes on the beauty of each of these images. The costumes, the sets, the locations. Each one is also framed in an interesting way that helps tell a story. But, we won't do that. What we will do, though, is fill in a few questions about who's who in these photos. Del Toro himself is just in that first image, along with Oscar Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein. We see Victor in his lab in a later photo, too. The photo on the steps is of Victor as a child with his mother, and a little later, you see Victor again (played at a younger age by Christian Convery) with his father, played by Charles Dance. The photo of someone holding a photo is, indeed, Elordi's monster, who we see covered in a cloak further down. Mia Goth plays Elizabeth, Victor's soon-to-be sister-in-law, who both he and the monster become infatuated with. The second photo of Goth is with her fiancé, Victor's brother William Frankenstein, played by Felix Kammerer. That leaves the man in the top hat, an arms dealer played by Christoph Waltz, and that mysterious photo among the flowers. That's Sofia Galasso and David Bradley as a little girl and a blind man who are in the original book. What does it all mean? We'll find out in November when Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein comes to Netflix. Want more io9 news?
