Netflix’s Popular Action Series With 89% Rotten Tomatoes Gets Season 2 Release Date & First Trailer

Bloodhounds is an excellent Netflix K-drama that premiered in 2023, created by Jeong Chan and starring Woo Do-hwan, Lee Sang-yi, Park Sung-woong, and Huh Joon-ho. The series follows two youths and a moneylender who team up to fight a loan shark organization. Bloodhounds is the perfect replacement for Weak Hero or another similar K-drama, and a saga that will continue very soon.

On Wednesday, Netflix announced that Bloodhounds season 2 will release on the streaming platform on April 3, and revealed a trailer for the follow-up. After their victory in season 1, Gun-woo (Woo) is pursuing his dream of becoming a boxer with Woo-jin (Lee) as his coach, bringing them into a dangerous underground boxing world and face-to-face with a new enemy, Baek-jeong (Jung Ji-hoon).

Check out the trailer for Bloodhounds season 2 below:

The teaser depicts Gun-woo and Woo-jin intensely training, introduces the new antagonist, and shows off all the action that happens outside the ring when money and power become involved. Clearly, the series is maintaining the thrilling action that allowed it to earn an 89% Tomatometer and 92% Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes the first time around.

Both of the series leads are established K-drama stars: Viewers might know Woo Do-hwan from the likes of Mad Dog, Tempted, Joseon Attorney, Mr. Plankton, or Made in Korea. Lee Sang-yi, meanwhile, is known for titles including Once Again, My Demon, and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. On the other hand, this is series creator Jeong Chan’s first movie or TV credit.

Bloodhounds is based on the 48-chapter manhwa (or webcomic) by Jeong, which ran on Webtoon from 2019 to 2020. While the author is the TV series’ primary writer, Kim Joo-hwan (Midnight Runners, The Divine Fury) is also a writer and director. Notably, Woo also starred in The Divine Fury before working with this director again on Bloodhounds.

Netflix will continue to expand its library of Korean content given its enduring popularity, following the end of Squid Game in 2025, which is arguably the streamer’s defining TV show of the 2020s so far. For those fans of previous action series, from My Name to All of Us Are Dead, Bloodhounds is soon getting the chance to prove itself as a long-running epic they can enjoy.

All episodes of Bloodhounds season 1 are available to stream on Netflix.
