Is ‘Our Beloved Summer' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
Our Beloved Summer tells the story of exes Choi Ung and Kook Yeon-soo, who swore they'd never see each other again after a rough breakup. But when a high school documentary they made goes viral, they're thrown back together. The 16 episodes, aired on SBS and streamed on Netflix, blend laughs, tears, and real-life feels. With an 8.9/10 on IMDb and 88% love from Rotten Tomatoes fans, it's no wonder people are dying for more. Is Our Beloved Summer Season 2 Happening?
As of August 2025, there's no official news from SBS, Netflix, Studio N, or Super Moon Pictures about a second season. K-dramas often wrap up in one go, and this one gave a happy ending with the couple married. Still, the show pulled solid ratings—kicking off at 3.2% nationwide and climbing to 5.2% by episode 12—so there's reason to think it could come back.
The finale tossed in a tease about the couple filming a new documentary as husband and wife. That's got fans dreaming up new stories, but without a green light, it's all just hopeful chatter. What Could a New Season Bring?
If Season 2 happens, it might follow Choi Ung and Kook Yeon-soo as a married couple. The first season tied their story up nicely, but new episodes could dig into stuff like juggling work, family, or new dreams. The show's knack for real, heartfelt moments would likely mean more laughs and warm fuzzies.
Expect to see faves like: Choi Woo-shik as Choi Ung, the chill artist.
Kim Da-mi as Kook Yeon-soo, the go-getter with heart.
Kim Sung-cheol as Kim Ji-ung, the ride-or-die pal.
Roh Jeong-eui as NJ, the idol with feelings. Side folks like Park Won-sang as Choi Ho or Jeon Hye-won as Jung Chae-ran might show up too, maybe with some new characters to spice things up. When Could Season 2 Premiere?
If they give the green light for Season 2 soon, the timeline from Season 1 might offer a clue. They started filming back in July 2021 and the show was out by December that same year — so it took around 11 to 14 months altogether. If they follow a similar schedule, we could maybe expect the new season sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. But hey, that's just speculation until there's official word.

5 best dark thriller movies to stream on Netflix
I love the thriller genre, but have a particular soft spot for dark thrillers. These movies, which often incorporate horror elements, explore bleak situations, humanity at its most savage and disturbing violence. While none of the movies on this list could ever be considered 'light entertainment,' if you're looking for a thriller that will give you chills, have you wincing in shock at the hardship endured by their lead characters and are packed full of unexpected twists, these five are essential. Plus, all of them are available on the world's biggest streaming service, Netflix. From a twisting trip that explores the dangers of obsession to a period piece that proves not all miracles are what they appear, these are the five best dark thrillers on Netflix worth watching right now. One of Netflix's biggest international success stories, you may have heard of 'The Platform' before. It's a streaming original that deserves its level of reputation and recognition because it pairs together an intriguing sci-fi idea with a fascinating exploration of human nature, and for those just after a descent into some savage place, you'll find exactly what you're craving. 'The Platform' is set in a future prison that is comprised of a series of individual levels arranged in a seemingly never-ending tower block. Every day, a concrete platform of food is slowly lowered down the block, with the people at the top eating like royalty, and those down below left with only scraps. We focus on a man named Goreng (Iván Massagué) as he attempts to survive this dystopian jail. I should also give a fair warning that you'll want to skip the movie snacks for this one, because several scenes will turn your stomach. Watch "The Platform" on Netflix now Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. While plenty of dark thrillers contain horror elements, 'The Ritual' is not one for viewers who can't tolerate the odd jump scare. This supernatural folk thriller is seriously spooky, but it's also rich with well-developed, if not always likable, characters. Plus, the eerie setting of the Swedish wilderness adds suspense and dread to the proceedings. Six months after the death of their friend in a robbery gone wrong, four middle-aged men reunite to hike through the Scandinavian mountains in their friend's memory. Making the foolish decision to step off the beaten path and take a 'shortcut' through the forest, they quickly become lost and believe that someone, or something, is stalking them. Just be sure to select the right movie. There's another movie called 'The Ritual' released earlier this year, which is a complete skip. Watch "The Ritual" on Netflix now The mark of a good dark thriller is when it makes you feel genuinely uneasy, and 'Calibre' does that often. This small-scale but intense movie had me sitting bolt upright on my sofa, and racking my own brain in an attempt to figure out how the two lead characters were going to get out of the terrifying predicament they find themselves in. "Calibre" is completely bone-chilling, and I love it. Vaughn (Jack Lowden) and Marcus (Martin McCann) are two childhood best friends traveling to the remote Scottish Highlands for a weekend away. The duo plan to go hunting, but while roaming the forest for game, they make a terrible mistake, and the consequences of their actions spiral completely out of control. Yes, that's an extremely vague plot write-up, but I'm deliberately holding my cards close to the chest, because 'Calibre' is best enjoyed with as little known ahead of time (I would even recommend skipping the trailer). Watch "Calibre" on Netflix now 'The Perfection' is one of the most skin-crawling dark thrillers I've ever seen. And I mean that quite literally, there's a highly disturbing sequence where a character believes bugs are bursting out of her arm. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, in this warped trip that goes to several bleak and very gruesome places. It's not a thriller movie for the faint of heart. Charlotte Willmore (Allison Williams) is a gifted cellist who is forced to leave her prestigious music academy to care for her sick mother. Returning to the fold after her mother's death, Charlotte meets Lizzie (Logan Browning), another musical prodigy, who has effectively replaced her as the star pupil and personal favorite of Anton (Steven Weber), the school's head. What follows is a nightmare ordeal for both of them, but I won't spoil any more, as there are plenty of surprising twists to discover. Watch "The Perfection" on Netflix now One of Florence Pugh's most overlooked movies, 'The Wonder,' is a period thriller based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Emma Donoghue. At its core is a compelling mystery, and as it progresses, the darker side of faith comes to the surface as Pugh's character, an English nurse named Elizabeth, struggles to convince the residents of a small Irish town that what they believe to be a miracle might not be quite what it seems. Elizabeth is sent to the rural village to monitor a young girl (Kíla Lord Cassidy) who, it is claimed, hasn't eaten in four months. Far from malnourished, the girl appears to be in good health and claims she is surviving by consuming 'manna from Heaven.' Despite her family's insistence that this is a miracle from above, Elizabeth seeks to discover the truth of the situation. 'The Wonder' is a slow-burn dramatic thriller anchored by a predictably strong turn from Pugh. Watch "The Wonder" on Netflix now

County Durham priest enlists TV's Dec to give parish announcement
A County Durham Catholic priest has enlisted award-winning TV presenter Declan Donnelly to make a parish announcement. Fr Marc Lyden-Smith shared a video on Sunday (August 10) of Dec, seen without on-screen partner Ant, announcing the mass times for his Seaham and Houghton-le-Spring parishes. Parishioners of St Michael's in Houghton-le-Spring and St Mary Magdalen's in Seaham were met with the recognisable tone of the I'm a Celebrity host who began his notice with: "Hi, Dec here!" "Just to remind you that mass is at nine and 11 with this guy," he added before panning the camera to Fr Lyden-Smith. The clergyman is no stranger to the TV cameras himself, after starring in every season of Netflix show 'Sunderland 'Til I Die', the documentary chronicling the fall and rise of Sunderland AFC and his role of club chaplain. However, Fr Lyden-Smith did have to clarify in his post that the earlier mass time was in fact 9.30am and not 9am as was previously stated and posted the caption "Don't forget to come to mass!" alongside the video. The funny video attracted comments from members of the public, with some of the churches' parishioners saying how much they enjoyed the reminder. "Best thing I've seen this morning," said Rachael Cuthbert.

Dec's brother, Fr Dermott Donnelly, was a Catholic priest in County Durham, with stints at churches in Consett and Stanley as well as Newcastle's Catholic cathedral, before his tragic death after a short illness at the age of 55 in 2022. He also established the Youth Ministry Trust, an outreach programme aimed at helping young people in the diocese's schools.
