Nevertheless Season 2 Release Date: When is it?
As of now, no official word has been provided concerning the air date of season 2 of Nevertheless.
The ten-episode series was launched on June 19, 2021, and ended on August 21, 2021. After the completion of the drama series, the showmakers have not declared anything about a possible second season.
The show has an enormous fan following across the world but the ratings obtained in Korea remain an issue. Nonetheless, there’s still a high chance for the popular show to get ordered and launch its second season.
Keeping aside the ratings in Korea, the show is very popular and received good ratings and reviews so fans can expect that the creators will think of renewing the 2nd season of Nevertheless, if that happens the new episodes will be out sometime in late 2023.
“I’d like to conduct a second season if possible. I think Nevertheless characters have many stories,” director Kim Ga-ram revealed.
At the time of this writing, neither the cast nor the producers have announced the renewal of Nevertheless season 2. A few signs imply a second season is coming.
Netflix is popular for renewing famous shows, and this show proved popular. FlixPatrol said that Nevertheless was the most streamed non-English Netflix show worldwide during July 19-25, 2021. The show was among the top 10 most-watched in over 30 countries.
Kim Ga-ram, the show’s director, is open to a second season. Kim told Soompi, “I’d like to conduct a second season if possible. I think Nevertheless’s characters have many stories.”
Besides, Song Kang, the show’s lead, has expressed interest in a second season. When asked about a second season, Song told Elle Korea, “I want to reveal Yoo Na-bi’s distinct side. I expect her to mature and gain confidence.”
Netflix may be waiting to see how the show does before deciding on a second season. The streaming giant considers viewership, critical reception, and social media participation when renewing a show.
Netflix may also be checking if the cast and crew are available for a second season. Song Kang, a popular actor with several upcoming projects, may not be available for another season of Nevertheless.
Overall, Nevertheless’s second season is uncertain. We will update this space with information as and when available—until then, fans may watch Season 1 of Nevertheless on Netflix!
Nevertheless season 1 recap
Nevertheless is a 2021 South Korean TV series starring Han So-hee and Song Kang. Based on Jeong Seo’s webtoon of the same name. Two art students, Yoo Na-bi (Han So-hee) and Park Jae-eon (Song Kang), develop a tumultuous relationship in the series.
Na-bi is practical and loves but doesn’t want to be harmed. Flirtatious and charming, Jae-eon doesn’t believe in love but enjoys the pursuit. Though different, Na-bi and Jae-eon are drawn to one other. Na-bi feels confused and insecure in their intense but ambiguous connection.
Na-bi and Jae-eon must face their love and commitment issues as the tale progresses. Na-bi must determine if she will risk being harmed for love, and Jae-eon must decide if he can be in a true relationship.
The series closes with Na-bi and Jae-eon splitting. Na-bi realises she cannot be in a relationship with someone who is not committed to her, and Jae-eon realises he is not ready for a meaningful commitment.
Nevertheless depicts young love realistically and complexly. It addresses commitment, communication, and self-worth. The sitcom is lauded for its genuine relationships and strong female lead.
Nevertheless is a well-written and played sitcom about adolescent love’s complexities. Fans of Korean dramas and romance should watch it!

Nevertheless Season 2 Plot: What to Expect?
Nothing is revealed for now when it comes to the plot of season 2 of Nevertheless. But, it’s most likely that the story would resume from where it was left off.
In an interview with Tatler, actor Song Kang was asked about some of the story arcs which involve the other characters and what he’s most hopeful for and looks forward to seeing more of. He responded, “I’m personally looking forward to Bit Na’s story. I know viewers joke about her being ‘the girl Jae Eon’, which might be why I kind of feel a connection to her. I started rooting for her without even realizing it (laughs). Just like Jae Eon’s encounter with Na Bi helped him to face himself and realize what he really wants, I hope Bit Na will also have that wonderful moment of self-realization.”

There’s no trailer for now as the second season is yet to be renewed officially.
Nevertheless Season 2: Is it Happening?
A second season of Nevertheless may likely not happen because the drama series received mainly poor ratings.

Moreover, ratings play an important factor in renewing a series but since that is not the case for this series, fans may not get to see a new season.
