Bloodhounds Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
If you binged Bloodhounds Season 1 on Netflix, you're probably just as hyped as we are for Season 2. This South Korean action drama hooked viewers with its raw fight scenes, heartfelt bromance, and a story that didn't shy away from tough topics like greed and justice. After Netflix confirmed a second season, fans have been buzzing with questions: When's it dropping? Who's coming back? And what's the next chapter for our favorite boxers? Let's dive into the latest on Bloodhounds Season 2, from release date rumors to cast updates and what to expect next. When Is Bloodhounds Season 2 Coming Out? Netflix hasn't pinned down an exact release date yet, but there's plenty of chatter to piece things together. Filming kicked off in September 2024 and is expected to wrap by April 2025, based on recent posts on X and some entertainment blogs. If we look at how K-dramas typically roll out, production usually takes about a year from filming to release. That puts Bloodhounds Season 2 on track for a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere, possibly around June to match Season 1's debut. Of course, that's just an educated guess. Netflix could surprise us with a faster turnaround or push it back for extra polish. For now, keep your eyes peeled on Netflix's social media or X for any official announcements. In the meantime, Season 1 is streaming on Netflix—perfect for a rewatch to get you pumped! Who's in the Cast for Bloodhounds Season 2? The cast is where Bloodhounds shines, and Season 2 is bringing back the heart of the show while adding some major star power. Here's the lowdown: Woo Do-hwan (Kim Gun-woo) : Our favorite boxer with a heart of gold is back. Woo Do-hwan's intense yet soulful performance as Gun-woo made him a fan favorite, and we can't wait to see him throw punches again. : Our favorite boxer with a heart of gold is back.

Lee Sang-yi's chemistry with Woo Do-hwan is pure magic, and their bromance will likely steal the show again. : Gun-woo's ride-or-die bestie, Woo-jin, brings the humor and loyalty that made Season 1 so special.

Choi Siwon (Hong Min-beom): Returning from Season 1, Siwon reprises his role as Lil Group's director, tying the new story to the original. One question mark hangs over Kim Sae-ron as Cha Hyun-joo. After her DUI controversy during Season 1's production, her scenes were cut down, and there's no word yet on whether she'll return. Some fans hope she'll get a chance to shine again, while others are curious about new characters filling the gap. What's the Story for Bloodhounds Season 2? Season 1 followed ex-marines Kim Gun-woo and Hong Woo-jin as they teamed up to take down a vicious loan shark, Kim Myeong-gil, with help from a kindhearted moneylender. The mix of gritty action, emotional stakes, and social commentary—like calling out predatory lending—made it a global hit, racking up 146.7 million viewing hours and landing in Netflix's Top 10 in 83 countries. So, what's next? Season 2 is diving into a global underground boxing league, where Gun-woo and Woo-jin face off against Rain's menacing Baek-jeong. This new villain uses dirty tactics to drag our heroes into his world of illegal fights, promising even bigger, badder action scenes. Expect the show's signature jaw-dropping choreography, with the duo's friendship tested by moral dilemmas and high-stakes battles. The story will likely keep exploring themes of loyalty, justice, and standing up to corruption. Season 1 had a few hiccups with pacing in the final episodes, with some fans on Reddit and X noting a shift to a quirkier tone. Here's hoping director Kim Joo-hwan, who's back for Season 2, keeps the balance tight, delivering the intense drama and heart we love.

Waterbomb Festival is returning to Hong Kong this summer, and going to Macau for the first time
We've been itching to go to a music festival soon, and Waterbomb has finally answered our prayers, announcing confirmation of their Hong Kong dates this year. This festival originates from South Korea, and is well-known for being a water party with liberal use of water guns on top of a music festival, so be prepared to get soaked. Mark your calendars for October 4 and 5, as Waterbomb will be taking over the Central Harbourfront. The 2025 lineup has yet to be confirmed, but last year saw major Korean artists like Rain, Jay Park, Loco, Gray, Jessi, StayC, PH-1, and more perform on our stage, so this edition is bound to be pretty stellar as well. If you're planning on going, log onto their Instagram and comment who you'd like to see at the festival in their artist wishlist post – and hopefully with enough fan support, you'll get to see your favourite musicians live in Hong Kong. This year also marks the first time ever that the Waterbomb Festival is going to Macau. The precise venue hasn't been confirmed yet, but the dates are coming up soon next month, on August 9 to 10. Ticket information for both events will be released soon, so check this space. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this year the festival's queues will be managed better – and also praying that we won't be hit by a typhoon during the event again!

Pittsburgh weather won't be nearly as hot or humid as the weekend begins
Humidity levels will be lower today with dew points dipping to the mid to low 60s, and you'll feel the difference. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos The weekend is actually looking pretty good when it comes to having outdoor plans. Yes, there's going to be a chance for rain each day, but no day will be a washout. Please don't cancel any outdoor activities due to potential rain, as things are setting up to mostly be dry when you probably need it to be dry. Today's rain 'window' is probably the largest of the weekend, with rain showers rolling through as soon as 10 this morning. Isolated storms will also be possible after 3 this afternoon. The further south you are, the higher the chance for rain, with places north of Pittsburgh seeing only the tiniest of rain chances. Everyone south of I-70 should see some rain today, with the best chance for rain, including a brief downpour, happening late this afternoon. Humidity levels have come down, though, so I don't expect we will see anything like we saw over the past couple of weeks, with flash flooding being fairly common. If outside, you'll also notice the dip in humidity today. I have Pittsburgh barely getting back to the 80s today, and there is a chance the city doesn't hit the 80-degree mark. Skies will be cloudy to mostly cloudy today with light winds coming in out of the south. Saturday is looking dry for most of the day, with the best chance for rain coming after sunset. Saturday highs should hit the mid-80s with partly cloudy skies. Saturday morning should feel fantastic with lows dipping into the 60s for the second morning in a row. Sunday will likely see our best chance for rain before sunrise, with a cluster of storms expected to rumble through. Storm chances should linger into the afternoon on Sunday as we await a cool front sliding through. Sunday highs should be in the low 80s. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are all looking dry to me. Monday is looking pleasant with low humidity levels and highs in the low 80s. We will start to warm up on Tuesday (highs in the mid-80s) and Wednesday (highs in the upper 80s). Rain and storm chances return on Thursday and Friday next week, with temperatures continuing to warm up, too. I have Thursday's high temperature hitting 90°.
