Vincenzo Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 3, 2025, 19:51 IST 'Vincenzo,' the South Korean drama that captivated audiences with its unique blend of dark comedy, action, and romance, left fans eagerly awaiting a second season after its explosive finale in May 2021. Starring Song Joong-ki as the sharp-witted Korean-Italian mafia lawyer Vincenzo Cassano, the series combined thrilling plot twists, clever mind games, and heartfelt moments. As speculation grows, here's everything we know so far about Vincenzo Season 2. Vincenzo Season 2 Release Date Speculation As of June 3, 2025, neither Netflix nor tvN, the original South Korean network, has officially confirmed Vincenzo Season 2. The first season, which aired from February 20, 2021, to May 2, 2021, was a massive hit, ranking as the sixth highest-rated drama in tvN history and gaining global popularity on Netflix. Despite this, no renewal announcement has been made. If renewed in 2025, production—including scriptwriting, casting, and filming—could take 12–18 months, given the high-budget nature of the show (Season 1 reportedly cost $18 million). This points to a potential release in late 2026 or early 2027 on tvN and Netflix, though no official date exists. Vincenzo Season 2 Expected Cast While no official cast list exists for a second season, fans expect key players to return based on Season 1's survivors and the story's unresolved threads. Here's a speculative lineup: Song Joong-ki as Vincenzo Cassano / Park Joo-hyung : The titular Korean-Italian mafia consigliere and lawyer, central to the story, would likely return to pursue his gold or new battles. Jeon Yeo-been as Hong Cha-young : The fierce, eccentric lawyer and Vincenzo's love interest, left with 1.5 tons of gold in Season 1, is a fan-favorite for a comeback. Yoon Byung-hee as Nam Joo-sung : The loyal legal assistant at Jipuragi Law Firm, adding humor and support, is expected to return. Choi Young-joon as Cho Young-woon : A Geumga Plaza tenant and ally, likely to reappear. Choi Deok-moon as Tak Hong-shik, Kim Hyung-mook as Toto, and Lee Hang-na as Kwak Hee-soo: The quirky Geumga Plaza tenants, integral to the show's charm, are anticipated to return. Vincenzo Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 ended with Vincenzo defeating Babel Group's leader, Jang Jun-woo (Ok Taec-yeon), and fleeing to Malta, leaving 1.5 tons of gold with Hong Cha-young. His final monologue hinted at ongoing evil in the world, setting the stage for new adventures. Here are potential plot directions: The Quest for Gold: Vincenzo might return to Korea to reclaim the gold from Hong Cha-young, sparking new conflicts or a reunion. Their chemistry could evolve into a deeper romance, perhaps exploring marriage or family. New Enemies, New Battles: A criminal cartel or corrupt system could emerge, challenging Vincenzo's skills as a lawyer and mafioso. His past in Italy might resurface, pulling him back to confront old rivals. Geumga Plaza's Role: The quirky tenants could rally again, blending comedy and loyalty as they aid Vincenzo against bigger threats. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
