Sweet Home achieved unprecedented praise upon its premiere in 2020—a period that saw very few live-action webtoon adaptations—despite not being as well-liked as Squid Game. That is to say, Netflix’s decision to turn more webtoons into live-action shows was sparked by the drama’s popularity, and the rest is history. Subsequently, a plethora of webtoon-inspired Korean dramas have been produced, including Hellbound, Bloodhounds, The Uncanny Counter, and All of Us Are Dead.
Fans had anticipated for a second season of Sweet Home sooner rather than later as the first season ended on an extreme cliffhanger, but Netflix did not announce a sequel until June 2022. Positively, the show was also renewed for a third season, and the first glimpse of Sweet Home at TUDUM 2023 gave us a hint as to where the plot is going. Having said that, this is all the information we currently have on Sweet Home season 2.
