Yumi's Cells' to return with third season in 2026
Kim Go-eun reprises lead role
Tving has announced that its acclaimed original series Yumi's Cells will return for a third season in the first half of 2026, with actor Kim Go-eun once again portraying the titular character. The new season continues Yumi's journey as a successful writer navigating life, love, and the lively world of her personified brain cells.
Based on Lee Dong-geon's beloved Naver webtoon, the series is known for its innovative blend of live action and 3D animation, offering a fresh take on the inner workings of human thought and emotion. The third instalment reunites the original creative team, including director Lee Sang-yeob and writers Song Jae-jeong and Kim Kyung-ran, promising continuity in tone and quality.
The upcoming season will delve into new romantic twists as Yumi's cell village — led by the likes of Love Cell, Rational Cell, and Hungry Cell — springs back to life. As ever, the show is set to deliver a mix of heartfelt storytelling and whimsical humour that has resonated with audiences since its debut in 2021.
Kim Go-eun expressed her excitement about continuing the role, calling it 'a rare and meaningful experience.' She added, 'I hope to portray the inflection points in Yumi's life with care and warmth in Season Three.'
