On April 15, 2025, Xports News reported that Hospital Playlist director Shin Won-ho and Lee Min-soo hinted at a possible third installment of the beloved K-drama. The creators of the show told the media publication that the decision depends on fans, and if there's enough "pressure" to renew the show for a third season, then the lead actors would have to return.
"It really all depends on the viewers. If we receive enough feedback, whether through numbers or overall response, we'll consider it. I'm still feeling the pressure about 'Hospital Playlist' season 3. Both the actors and the viewers are constantly pressing me. If we do end up making it, it'll probably be because of that stress." Shin Won-ho said.
