Renewed Or Cancelled?
Black Out is a thrilling K-drama, one that marries drama and thrills together in the best possible way. If you’ve been following this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Black Out Season 1 about?
Black Out’s story revolves around two detectives who investigate mysterious incidents in a village. The drama reinterprets those events and the characters in the book to match Korean sentiments and show the ugly side of human nature.
We have ongoing coverage of Black Out across the site, including recaps for the season. You can check those out HERE!
Has Love Next Door been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, MBC have not renewed Black Out for season 2. Given the ratings over the weeks, it’ll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up.
The ratings began with a respectable 2.8% share nationwide but since then, the show has been increasing in popularity with every passing week, with the later episodes hitting upwards of 6.4% nationwide.
Despite the strong ratings, it’s extremely rare to find Korean dramas renewed for another season. That has changed in recent years but given the sheer wealth of talent in this that are sure to move onto other projects, we predict that Black Out will not be renewed for a second season.
We’ll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 right now. Given most Korean dramas are reserved to one season, it’s rare to find these sort of shows renewed. With the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.) then it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed.
Having said that though, we have seen Taxi Driver and Tale of the Nine Tailed renewed recently, alongside Alchemy of Souls too. Given how steady the ratings are for this series, could we see this one buck the trend? It seems very unlikely that Black Out will, but you never know! We’ll be sure to update this section when we know more.
