Is ‘Lookism' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far

Alright, let's talk Lookism . If you binged the first season of this South Korean anime on Netflix back in December 2022, you're probably itching to know if Park Hyung-seok's wild body-switching story is coming back for round two. The show, based on Park Tae-joon's mega-popular webtoon, hooked fans with its mix of raw social commentary—think bullying and judging people by their looks—and a supernatural twist that's just plain cool. So, is Lookism Season 2 happening? Here's everything we know so far. Is Lookism Season 2 happening?
Straight up, as of today in June 2025, there's no official word from Netflix or Studio Mir (the folks who animated it) about a second season. Crickets. Nada. Zilch. The first season dropped eight episodes, wrapping up around chapter 27 of the webtoon with that school festival moment where Hyung-seok and Deok Hwa stole the show. Fans loved it— Lookism is sitting pretty with a 7.49/10 on MyAnimeList—but Netflix plays its renewal cards close to the chest. They're all about those viewership numbers, and we don't have the tea on whether Lookism hit their magic mark.
The webtoon's got over 400 chapters and counting, so there's no shortage of story to tell. If Netflix gives the green light soon, we're probably looking at late 2026 or even 2027 for a release, since animation takes forever. Studio Mir's got a solid track record, but they're not rushing this one, it seems. Lookism Season 2 Potential Plot
Okay, let's say Season 2 gets the go-ahead. What's in store? The first season left off right before the PaprikaTV arc, where Deok Hwa gets into live-streaming and things get spicy. Expect new faces, more drama, and deeper dives into Hyung-seok's whole 'two bodies, one soul' deal. The webtoon starts peeling back layers on other characters who can pull the same body-switch trick, like Choi Su-jeong. It's less about high school shenanigans and more about the bigger picture—still tackling how society's obsessed with looks, but with some fresh twists.
The webtoon gets pretty intense later, with gang vibes and darker themes, but Season 2 would probably keep that mix of funny, heartfelt, and 'whoa, didn't see that coming' moments that made Season 1 click. More Hyung-seok figuring himself out, more punches thrown, and maybe a few tears.
