Has Dear Hongrang been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Summary Dear Hongrang is the latest Netflix Original show from South Korea. This period K-drama has everything from forbidden romance and memory loss to family drama and murders. Netflix determines whether to renew a show based on various factors such as completion rate, viewership numbers, production costs, and more. As of now, there's no news regarding the renewal of Dear Hongrang, but we look at the possibility of a Season 2. Dear Hongrang is another exciting Netflix Original K-drama that graced our screens this year. This period drama has everything from forbidden romance and memory loss to family drama and murders. Based on the novel 'Tangeum: Swallowing Gold' by Jang Da-hye, the 11-episode season stars Lee Jae-wook, Jo Bo-ah, Jung Ga-ram, Uhm Ji-won, Park Byung-eun, Kim Jae-wook and more. It is helmed by director Kim Hong-seon who is known for thrillers like Money Heist Korea, Voice and The Guest. With shocking revelations and plot twists, the season finale will have viewers on the edge of their seats. If you're watching the first season and want to know if there will be a second, this article has all the details you're looking for. Here's everything we know: What is Dear Hongrang Season 1 about? The K-drama follows the Sim family during the Joseon era, where they rise up courtesy of their work in the art world. Tragedy befalls them when their son, Hong-rang disappears, only to return a decade later with no memory of who he is. On top of that, he is no longer a nobleman but an assassin who has no patience for his so-called family. His half-sister, Jae-yi's relief is short-lived as she doesn't believe the man in front of him is the same Hong-rang who had protected her from the abusive matriarch. She takes it upon herself to uncover the truth which causes problems for Hong-rang who has his own secret mission that he must tend to. In the midst of it all, their adoptive brother, Mu-jin is enlisted by the matriarch to look into Hong-rang's disappearance. We have extensive coverage of Dear Hongrang on the site, including recaps for all episodes. You can find those HERE! Has Dear Hongrang Been Renewed for Season 2? At the time of writing, Netflix hasn't renewed Dear Hongrang for Season 2. While the Korean TV industry is changing its format, we are yet to see multiple-season K-dramas as the norm. Sure, we have multiple seasons of Netflix Original K-dramas like Sweet Home and Squid Game, but it honestly depends on the streaming platform and if South Korean productions are interested in picking up the show for a season 2. Netflix also tends to look at views and drop-off rates before renewing or cancelling the show, along with the critical success. Some shows are instantly renewed like One Piece and Bridgerton while others take years such as The Watcher and The Victim's Game. But there is hope for now since Dear Hongrang has not been labelled as a limited series. What do we know about Dear Hongrang Season 2? Not much is known about Dear Hongrang Season 2 at the moment, given that it has not been greenlit. We will most likely not get another season as the show covers all of the source material. But if by some miracle, Dear Hongrang is renewed, it could follow the aftermath with the next chapter of Jae-yi's life. If the show does return, you can expect a season with approximately 10-11 episodes, each lasting around an hour. However, nothing is confirmed yet, but we'll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in. Would you like to see Dear Hongrang return for a second season? Or do you think the story has run its course? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Netflix fans 'scared breathless' by terrifying horror film's 'brutal and claustrophobic' scenes as it scoops whopping 90% Rotten Tomatoes score
A Netflix sci-fi horror, which has terrified fans so much they have been left 'struggling to breathe', has been dubbed a 'must watch'. French-language film Oxygen stars Mélanie Laurent as a young woman who finds herself trapped in a cryogenic chamber, with oxygen levels swiftly dwindling. Having lost her memory, the woman tries to recall how she ended up in such a desperate situation - all while battling to survive, guided only by the voice of an AI robot. Directed by Frenchman Alexandre Aja, the Netflix Original creation of debut screenwriter Christie LeBlanc has an impressive 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. And it has received significant praise from the critics, with the Guardian warning despite it requiring 'some hefty levels of disbelief suspension', 'it's a rather elegant contrivance' and 'excellent' French actress Mélanie 'sells it hard'. The film was released in 2021 - but new fans keep rediscovering the near one-woman effort on the streamer, taking to social media to express how captivating it is. Directed by Frenchman Alexandre Aja, the Netflix Original creation of debut screenwriter Christie LeBlanc has an impressive 90 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes One person said on X: 'Oxygen is a phenomenal example of one-location filmmaking done right. 'Brutal moral dilemmas, surprising discoveries about the mysterious protagonist, a fantastic one-woman show from Mélanie Laurent keep the slow, flashback-heavy narrative engrossing.' A fan review noted: 'As the tension build to excruciating levels at the climax, will have viewers so caught up in the action they will need to check they are still breathing.' Another X user commented: 'Gripping, some nail-biting scenes and a great performance from Mélanie Laurent - but maybe don't watch it if you're claustrophobic...' Someone else recommended anyone scrolling for a new watch to check it out: 'It's a movie with big ideas but no matter how large the scope gets, it remains impressively intimate and confined to a single location. 'Clever and tense. Mélanie Laurent is terrific.' One person weighed in: 'This is a great movie! A variant of Buried [2010 survival thriller about a man buried alive] but sci-fi (and better). Laurent does an excellent job.' Another user said: 'It's a tense and very claustrophobic ride. Mélanie Laurent is superb... It's very good.' Other critics have been impressed by the film too, with Forbes saying: 'The mystery at the centre of this story - who is this young woman, where is she, how did she end up there - will keep you hooked' The film was released in 2021 - but new fans keep rediscovering the near one-woman effort on the streamer, taking to social media (pictured) to express how captivating it is Other critics have been impressed by the film too, with Forbes saying: 'The mystery at the centre of this story - who is this young woman, where is she, how did she end up there - will keep you hooked. 'Mélanie Laurent is quite phenomenal, carrying this suspenseful thriller through her sole performance.' Viewers will recognise Mélanie from Quentin Tarantino's infamous 2009 war film Inglourious Basterds, an alternative history about two accidentally clashing plots to assassinate Nazi leaders. Mélanie stars as Shosanna Dreyfus, a 23-year-old French-Jewish woman whose family was executed by the SS when she was 20 - which she managed to escape. Fans' rediscovery of Oxygen comes after Netflix changed its subtitle settings in a way streamers have wanted for years - making any viewing of the sci-fi horror potentially even more enjoyable. Many viewers watch with subtitles, a study showed - but find it irritating when the captions describe sound effects or music as well as showing the dialogue. It means keen streamers were delighted to discover that an update to the service sees subtitles show just the words spoken - and nothing else. The previous comprehensive closed captioning is mainly for deaf or hearing-impaired people, who account for only a small portion of total subscribers, the study showed. These viewers, who might appreciate the extra description, need not worry - this traditional closed captioning will still be available, listed as 'English CC', alongside the new style, named 'English' or whatever the viewer's preferred language. There is also a range of other options for personalisation, including more settings for text font, weight, opacity, outline and shadow to help with contrast - and options to move the position of subtitles on-screen to avoid covering important action. The new adaptation was rolled out on the fifth and final season of You, released last Thursday, and Netflix plans to add it to all its original shows from now on. Early testers reported a smoother reading experience, Netflix said, saying it was less 'obtrusive' - and fans have now also taken to social media to express their delight at the new feature. One user said on X: 'Finally, a win for subtitle lovers! No more getting distracted by every door creak and ominous music cue. 'Netflix is stepping up its caption game with a cleaner, more streamlined experience. Less chaos, more clarity.'

The rules are simple: Don't get mad, get funny Set in a fictional village cursed with endless grumpiness, the show challenges comedians to keep their cool while being relentlessly roasted by furious 'villagers.' There's just one rule: no losing your temper. Get angry, flinch, or even look too offended, and you're out. Think of it as emotional dodgeball… but with insults instead of balls. It's a twisted social experiment, a comedy boot camp, and a laugh riot all rolled into one. The real test? Turning those hostile jabs into hilarious comebacks without cracking under the pressure.

Sakuma's original idea has already pulled in over 15 million views on his channel NOBROCK TV, proving that audiences love watching funny people squirm in uncomfortable situations. Now, with a bigger budget, a crazier setup, and Netflix backing it, the madness is about to go global. Meet the man behind the mayhem: Host Koji Higashino The face guiding us through this insult-fest is none other than Koji Higashino, a household name in Japanese comedy. With his signature poker face and sly humour, Higashino is the perfect host to stir the pot and let the chaos unfold.
