Written by Kim Young-Hyun, the show is directed by Kim Won-Seok. The show is set in the fictional land of Arth. The residents of the town are engaged in a power struggle. However, some of them also encounter love in the way. The first season has left us with a number of questions. Would Arthdal Chronicles Season 2 come and answer all the questions? Keep reading to find out all about it-
Arthdal Chronicles Season 2: What Would Happen Next?
The creators have been pretty tight-lipped about what would come up in Arthdal Chronicles Season 2. However, what we do know is that the makers will continue to bring more intriguing and important subjects. The clashes while living in a complex society will continue to be at the forefront of the storyline in the upcoming second season.
The first season of the show was widely compared to Game of Thrones because of the similar historical setting and backdrop. However, the writer of the show Park Sang-Yeon has put out his opinion. In a statement, he says that he wouldn’t even think of comparing Game of Thrones. He says that their goal isn’t to create something similar. They wouldn’t ever try to claim to do anything similar to Game of Thrones. The creator went on to say that he doesn’t think that this is an appropriate comparison. Sang-Yeon says that they have tried to create great series by building a fictitious world of their own with their imagination. He hopes that viewers see that. We can expect that the next season of the show will bring more of the story and bring all the answers the first season left us with.
Who Will We See?
As for who we will see in Arthdal Chronicles Season 2, we know that Song Joong-Ki will come back as Eun-seem and Saya in the show. Other characters we will see on the show include Jang Dong-gun, Kim Ji-won, Kim Ok-Vin as they come back for their roles of Ta-gon, Tan-ya, and Tae Al-ha, respectively.
Production Status and Release Date
The way the first season ended, everyone was quite sure that there would be an Arthdal Chronicles Season 2. While Korean series rarely have a second season, it looks like Arthdal Chronicles was envisioned as a multiple season series. In February 2020, the creators had announced that Arthdal Chronicles Season 2 was already in the works. Filming of the show was supposed to start in September 2020 with a 2021 release date.
Since the series is filmed in Brunei, the shoot for the show would involve international travel for the whole team. The ongoing pandemic has hit the series production rather hardly. Traveling wouldn’t be possible. So, the creators had to delay the production schedule resulting in a delay in the 2021 release date. It looks like fans must not expect a 2021 release date at all. The show would release sometime in 2022, perhaps. We will keep you updated with all the news about the show as it surfaces. So, you stay tuned.
