Summary
Light Shop is the latest intriguing Korean drama on Hulu, with a mysterious tone and decent characterisation throughout. Over the 8 episodes, this one has been a proper rollercoaster ride!
If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Light Shop about?
Light Shop is about six lost strangers who find themselves drawn to a mysterious shop that inexplicably holds the key to their past, present and future. Armed with the help of their loved ones, will the strangers be able to escape the world between life and death? Will there ever be a chance at normality again?
We have ongoing coverage of Light Shop across the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has Light Shop been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Light Shop has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Hulu and Disney would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. So far, Light Shop has had a pretty good reaction online from critics and audiences alike, with many pointing out the story is well written and the characters easy to root for.
Despite this, 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 Light Shop 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 Light Shop will, but you never know! We’ll be sure to update this section when we know more.

There was some open endings. I wait for season 2
Light shop 2 is a must
loved the show however I feel there are a lot of unexplained gaps. Definitely needs a season 2, especially after that ending with Kim Hyun-Min and Lee Ji-Young!!
I enjoyed and even little emotional (cried) the series “Light Shop” I cannot wait for another season.
Really enjoyed Light Shop. Need more seasons.
