Is Arthdal Chronicles Season 2 renewed or canceled?

Currently, nothing is known about the second season of Arthdal Chronicles since it has not been renewed or cancelled yet. We have been waiting for some sort of an official update from the makers of the series but till now there’s not a single word on it. As per speculations, it seems Netflix has renewed the series for a second instalment but then again some say that the series has been cancelled. Netflix however, is yet to confirm regarding this matter.

Nevertheless, it was formally declared on June 11, 2020, that the filming schedule was halted due to the pandemic and therefore, the much-awaited second season was omitted from the 2021 line-up.

It was also reported that a post was shared on Instagram indicating that shooting for the second instalment of the series had indeed resumed but that same post was later deleted as the makers do not want to give out too much information. It’s likely that the cast & crew of Arthdal Chronicles are back on the set working on the next project. So now fans can wait patiently and expect an official announcement very soon.

Arthdal Chronicles season 2 release date: When is it?

It’s hard to predict an air date when the production team is tight-lipped so as not to slip out any information. As previously mentioned, the reason behind the long wait for the series to make a comeback was due to the covid-19 pandemic and production could not resume as it had to be postponed.

Well, the good news is production has finally commenced and it’s only a matter of time till we get an official release date though this seems too good to be true. As per Wikipedia, the original release section has mentioned the first and last episode release date which is June 1 to September 22, 2019, respectively pointing out that the show has ended. However, fans need not lose hope although the future remains uncertain.

If a second happens, fans can expect the second season to arrive by late 2022 or early 2023 at the earliest.

Jang Dong-gun will portray Ta-gon
Song Joong-ki will play the role of Eun-seom and Saya
Kim Ji-won will portray Tan-ya
Kim Ok-bin as Tae Al-ha

Arthdal Chronicles season 2 plot: Expectations

The plot for the second season is unknown but the previous concluded on a major cliffhanger. It’s plausible that the next series will likely continue the story from where the first season left off.
