One of actor Song Kang’s maiden Netflix hits — Sweet Home — has been renewed for two new seasons by the streaming giant. The modern apocalyptic horror K-drama also teases new settings and cast members. The show’s first season premiered in December 2020 and is based on a webcomic of the same name by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan.
The two new seasons will be helmed by Lee Eung-bok, who also worked on the first season of the show. The production of these is also expected to take place back-to-back. In a statement earlier, the director of Sweet Home had said,
“Season 2 will have a new location as the backdrop, and the technical details that we couldn’t refine in Season 1 will be further honed in Season 2.”

More about Sweet Home season 2 and 3: Teaser, previous plot, and more
Netflix released a title teaser for the new seasons on its social media accounts, and it is an animated video that is in line with the stylistics of the web drama. Along with this, the streaming platform also released stills of the cast members sporting a t-shirt with the show’s name. However, what has not been revealed is the show's tentative release date.
Sweet Home is a survival K-drama set in the modern world. An unknown virus causes humans to transform into monsters, just like zombies, and the apocalyptic setting forces humans to band together and fight. Cha Hyun-soo (Song Kang) is a lonely young boy who loses his family to an accident, and as a result, moves into the Green Home apartment complex.
He is a recluse who refuses to step out of his home but is forced not just to interact but also to create connections to survive. Unfortunately, he ends up getting attacked by one of the monsters. Still, instead of transforming completely into one himself, he begins to change into a hybrid version of the monster and human.
His strength and his powers help him, Pyeon Sang-Wook (Lee Jin-wook), Seo Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young), Lee Eun-yu (Go Min-si) and Yoon Ji-su (Park Gyu-young) escape from Green Home. However, he gets captured by Jung Ui-myeong (Kim Sung-cheol), whose return to the show has intriguingly not been announced.
