Official: Made in Korea 2 Teaser Out Now — Hyun Bin and Jung Woo Sung Return for the Final Season on Disney+

The battle for power is far from over — the teaser for Made in Korea Season 2 is officially out, with the Disney+ series confirmed to premiere on September 9, 2026.

Teaser Is Out: Season 2 Release Date Confirmed

Disney+ original series Made in Korea Season 2 has confirmed its release on September 9 and unveiled a teaser trailer filled with breathless tension.

Along with the announcement of the September 9 release date, Disney+ unveiled a teaser trailer that raises anticipation for the powerful ensemble of trusted actors and a tension-filled narrative. The released teaser trailer immediately heightens immersion, conveying the tense grandeur of a massive prelude where desires hotter than blood explode, starting with the appearance of Baek Ki-tae (Hyun Bin), who radiates overwhelming charisma.

Episode Release Schedule

The final season opens with two episodes on September 9, followed by two new episodes each Wednesday through the September 23 finale, streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Story So Far: Recapping Season 1

Set against South Korea in the turbulent yet transformative 1970s, the story follows Baek Ki Tae (Hyun Bin), a man who seeks to reach the pinnacle of wealth and power by turning the nation itself into a profit model, and prosecutor Jang Geon Young (Jung Woo Sung), who relentlessly pursues him with fierce obsession. Their confrontation unfolds through massive, era-defining events.

Hyun Bin plays Baek Ki-tae, a high-ranking KCIA agent who exploits his position to amass power and wealth through illicit networks, while Jung Woo-sung portrays Jang Geon-yeong, a relentless prosecutor from the Busan District out to expose government and law enforcement corruption.

Disney+ confirmed the Season 2 renewal — a rare decision since K-dramas are typically miniseries. However, it seems that even the streamer sensed the show’s inevitable success, as Made in Korea became the number one most-viewed Korean Original premiere on Disney+ in Asia-Pacific markets.

What Happens in Season 2?

Made in Korea 2, set nine years after the Season 1 finale, follows Baek Ki Tae, now at the peak of power; Jang Geon Young, who has been preparing a counterattack; and Baek Ki Hyun (Woo Do Hwan), who is pursuing a different path to power from his older brother. Their ambitions spiral out of control, shaking things up and creating an irreversible rift.

Baek Kitae (Hyun Bin), having framed the one prosecutor he couldn’t buy, has risen to deputy director of the KCIA, growing his fortune and expanding his drug operations across the region. But as political turmoil spreads, his old nemesis Jang Geonyoung (Jung Woo-sung) steps out of the shadows to enact a carefully plotted revenge — with both men prepared to “break every rule and cross every line to eliminate the other once and for all.”

Hyun Bin vs Jung Woo Sung: The Ultimate Showdown

Hyun Bin and Jung Woo-sung’s hit cat-and-mouse thriller is entering its endgame.

Hyun Bin delivers a powerful performance that shows both charm and danger. Jung Woo Sung plays the determined prosecutor Jang Geon Young, representing justice and moral strength. His character is calm but strong, and he refuses to give up even when facing powerful enemies.

Season 2 promises to be the most explosive chapter yet — with nine years of accumulated tension, betrayal, and revenge finally set to erupt on screen.

The Creative Team

The new season reunites the same core creative team. Park Eun-kyo, co-writer of Bong Joon Ho’s Mother, again scripted every episode, with filmmaker Woo Min-ho, known for his political thrillers The Man Standing Next and Inside Men, returning to direct.

The series is again produced by local powerhouse Hive Media Corp.

Technical Crew

A Record-Breaking Franchise

Having early on secured a spot on Time magazine’s list of “Most Anticipated Korean Dramas of 2026,” the series is raising anticipation to its absolute peak ahead of its release.

Following their awards juggernaut Harbin, star Hyun Bin and director Woo Min-ho have teamed up on another historical drama, this time for the small screen, with the Disney+ political thriller. Boasting lavish production values and a deep bench of talent, the series explores the murky intersection of the executive and judicial branches of the authoritarian government that cast a shadow over 1970s South Korea.
