Weak Hero Class Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 20, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 20, 2025, 12:26 IST Alright, Weak Hero Class fans, let's talk about the one thing keeping us all up at night: Weak Hero Class Season 3. After that gut-punch of a second season hit Netflix on April 25, 2025, we're not the only ones refreshing X for updates. The cliffhanger, the feels, those insane fight scenes—Season 2 left us desperate for more of Yeon Si-eun and his Eunjang High crew. So, what do we know about Season 3? From release date guesses to cast rumors and plot theories, here's the scoop on everything buzzing around this K-drama gem. Release Date Speculation for Weak Hero Class Season 3 Trying to pin down a release date without an official announcement is like guessing the weather a year out, but let's give it a shot. Weak Hero Class 2 got announced in December 2023, filmed through mid-2024, and landed in April 2025. That's roughly a 16-month turnaround. If Netflix gives the go-ahead by, say, December 2025, we could be looking at a late 2026 release if they hustle. But, real talk, the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2 makes me think 2027 is more likely. Expected Cast for Weak Hero Class Season 3 If Season 3 happens (and it better), the core gang should be back, judging by how Season 2 wrapped. Here's our take on who we'll see: Park Ji-hoon as Yeon Si-eun Choi Hyun-wook as Ahn Su-ho Ryeo Un as Park Hu-min (Baku) Choi Min-yeong as Seo Jun-tae Lee Min-jae as Go Hyun-tak Lee Jun-young as Geum Seong-je We might also see Jo Jung-seok as Choi Chang-hee, the shady Cheongang gang boss who showed up at the end. He's got 'trouble' written all over him. RIP Na Baek-jin (Bae Na-ra), but I wouldn't be shocked if he pops up in flashbacks—his death was too murky to leave alone. Potential Plot for Weak Hero Class Season 3 Season 2 ended with a bang: Eunjang took down the Union, but at a cost. That mid-credits scene with Choi Chang-hee offering Seong-je control of the Union (and Seong-je saying 'nah') left our jaw on the floor. Season 3 could go so many ways. Here's what we are expecting: Si-eun's Dark Side : Park Ji-hoon pitched Si-eun going rogue after losing friends, and I'm obsessed with the idea. Imagine our quiet strategist snapping and taking on everyone—Union, Cheongang, you name it. : Park Ji-hoon pitched Si-eun going rogue after losing friends, and I'm obsessed with the idea.

Fans on X are hyping a Su-ho-Baku alliance, and we are expecting them to throw punches together in some epic fight. : Su-ho's back, but he's got new friends to vibe with (or clash with).

New Threats : The webtoon's mostly wrapped in the show, so Season 3 might go off-book, like Kingdom did. Choi Chang-hee's gang could pull Si-eun into a bigger, scarier world of crime, way beyond high school bullies. : The webtoon's mostly wrapped in the show, so Season 3 might go off-book, like did.

Baek-jin's Mystery: The show didn't explain Baek-jin's death, just hinted it was sketchy. The webtoon says car accident, but I'm betting Season 3 digs deeper. Reddit's blowing up with theories—one fan thinks Si-eun might use his chess-master brain to outsmart a gangster like Chang-hee. Another post suggested a time jump to graduation, which could shake things up. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Is Weak Hero Class 3 happening? Everything we know so far
Weak Hero Class 2 hit Netflix on April 25, 2025, delivering intense high school drama and action with Park Ji-hoon as Yeon Si-eun. The season's cliffhanger ending has fans clamouring for Weak Hero Class 3 . Below, we dive into the latest details on a potential third season. The Cliffhanger Ending of Weak Hero Class 2 The second season ended with a major clash between Si-eun's Eunjang High crew and the Union, led by Na Baek-jin (Bae Na-ra). [Spoiler Alert] Baek-jin's death shocked viewers, while a post-credits scene introduced Choi Chang-hee (Jo Jung-seok), leader of the Cheongang gang, proposing Geum Seong-je (Lee Jun-young) take over the Union. This hints at a new conflict involving adult criminals. Additionally, Ahn Su-ho (Choi Hyun-wook), comatose since Season 1, woke up, reuniting with Si-eun and sparking excitement for his potential role in future episodes. Has Weak Hero Class 3 Been Confirmed? As of June 2025, Netflix has not confirmed Weak Hero Class 3 . At a cast event on May 11, 2025, director Yoo Su-min noted, 'No plans are set,' but added, 'There could be more to explore.' The show's strong performance, topping Netflix's non-English TV chart in South Korea and ranking globally, boosts renewal hopes. However, many Korean dramas end after two seasons, leaving fans uncertain despite their vocal support on social media. Weak Hero Class 3 Potential Release Date If approved, Weak Hero Class 3 could take time. The gap between Season 1 (November 2022) and Season 2 (April 2025) was over two years. A third season might arrive around late 2027 or early 2028 if greenlit soon. Rumours on X about a June 2025 announcement remain unconfirmed.

According to Netflix's official fan site Tudum, the series amassed 6.1 million views during the week, a figure derived by dividing total watch hours by the show's runtime.

Additionally, it has secured a spot in the Top 10 rankings across 63 countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Belgium, France, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and New Caledonia. The swift global ascent of Weak Hero Class 2 is attributed to its emotionally charged narrative and meticulously choreographed action sequences. The storyline follows the evolution of Yeon Si-eun, portrayed by Park Ji-hoon, who once again finds himself confronting a wave of violence in defence of his friends. Park's compelling performance has received widespread acclaim, particularly for its intensity and range. The ensemble cast—featuring Ryeo Un, Choi Min-yeong, Yoo Soo-bin, and Lee Jun-young—has also been praised for its on-screen chemistry and emotional depth. The series successfully balances powerful antagonists with gripping portrayals of brotherhood, further enhancing its international appeal. Meanwhile, the first season, Weak Hero Class 1, continues to perform well, securing the No. 8 spot in the same global chart. It has now spent five consecutive weeks in Netflix's international Top 10 since being added to the platform's global library. The rapid rise of Weak Hero Class 2 underscores the growing global appetite for Korean storytelling and further cements the series' status as a benchmark in youth action drama.
