Season 2 of Mr. Queen may not happen
(updated 12/12/2022)
It’s highly likely that a second of the massively popular Korean drama series “Mr. Queen” will not happen since it was a one-season thing-only drama. When the first season was released, fans from around the world showed immense love and have since been demanding a second season but it is quite doubtful that the makers will produce another season. Nonetheless, we’re still yet to receive an official announcement.
As per Wikipedia, if you check the release section it’s clearly mentioned the air dates of the first episode and last episode. So it is highly unlikely that the series would not be back for a season two. Moreover, it’s been more than two years since the first season came out, and at this point, it looks like the series was only meant for a single season only. (updated 7/4/2023)
