Busan Film Festival sure does have a great variety of film premiers and specials this year, and Hellbound season 2 will premiere there, before it arrives on Netflix on October 25, 2024! Let's take a look at all the details for the return of this highly-anticipated series!
Season one concluded with the religious leader and chairman Jung Jin Soo (Yoo Ah In Seoul Vibe 2022) had vanished, not only this but Park Jung Ja (Kim Shin Rok Uprising 2024) had been resurrected and Min Hye Jin (Kim Hyun Joo The Bequeathed 2024) had thankfully escaped with baby Toughie despite the child being decreed to damnation. Of course, if that wasn't enough season two is set to show the New Truth, the Arrowheads, and Sodo leader Hye Jin. Hye Jin must grapple with the sudden resurrections of the former command to state her place. Is this possible?
Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement and comment on how fabulous the cast looks at the BIFF 2024 opening ceremony: Let's take a closer look!
To recap has a very exciting sense of growth across its series and I find it interesting how the ideas and script are written, I did however find in season one that the script and storyline can be a bit all over the place with many plots, twists, and conspiracies.
There’s also a little too much telling and not showing when it comes to the impact of this new teaching — we hear that half the world has been caught up in New Truth fever, but hardly get a nervous sense of it. Similarly, the show’s dramatic goals can be out of reach, as with an albeit harrowing emotional subplot in the second half involving a baby, that then gets redundant with tearful monologues and sad music. It’s the kind of stuff that one hopes is sharpened if there is a season two.
Let's take a look at the trailer!
So for season two Jung Jin Soo is a founder of a religious cult called the New Truth, and he is back after being previously condemned to hell for several years. Upon his return, he is quick to realize the dictator of the New Truth; this time it is set to be much more extreme than before. Scary right?
After being condemned to hell, Jin Soo finds out that he is not the only one who has come back to the land of living and for sure wants to find out why he is back and for what purpose. Could it be the path to true salvation?
Without a doubt season two is set to have an action-packed cast with some familiar and new faces. The new faces appear in Season 2: Cheon Se Hyeong (Im Seong Jae The Worst of Evil 2023), the first person to meet the resurrected Jung; Lee Su Gyeong (Moon So Ri) the political affairs secretary who aims to use the New Truth and Park Jung Ja to restore order and balance to society; and Miss Sunshine (Moon Geun Young), a devoted Arrowhead follower.
The "Gates of Hell" are opening again, according to one fan who posted on Instagram. This second series of Hellbound has captured the excitement of many fans globally!
What role will these new characters play in the Hellbound universe?
