Renewed Or Cancelled?

When it comes to classic, must-watch K-dramas, they don’t get much bigger than Signal. Released back in 2016, this thriller won the Baeksang Award for best TV drama – and it’s easy to see why. 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 Signal Season 1 about?

The story starts simple enough, as we follow criminal profiler Park Hae-young, who’s tasked with solving a kidnapping case involving a culprit who has disappeared after the crime. In order to get to the bottom of things, Hae-young inexplicably begins communicating with an officer from the past called Lee Jae-han, thanks to finding a mysterious old walkie talkie. As a result, the pair end up working together in the different time periods to solve the case.

As a result of this successful case, the police set up a long-term cold case team, led by Detective Cha Soo-hyun who has searched for her long-lost mentor, Lee Jae-han, for over the past 15 years.

What ensues from here are a number of different cases organically stitched together as Soo-hyun starts to suspect her partner, Hae-young, is not being completely forthright with her regarding this walkie talkie. However, there are consequences for messing with the past, which our characters find out first-hand.

Has Signal been renewed for season 2?

Yes, Signal has reportedly been renewed for season 2. Jang Won Seok, the CEO of B.A. Entertainment, announced on March 13 that they are working on the next season with writer Kim Eun Hee. Although the green light has taken a long while, the renewal isn’t totally surprising given the thriller’s outstanding ratings, making it one of the highest-rated dramas of all time.

Before the renewal, Signal’s second season had been swirling with uncertainty for a while. In 2020, according to an article written over at KBIZoom, AStory announced news of an indefinite postponement:  “The production of ‘Signal 2’ has been delayed due to various factors, such as problems when matching the schedules of actors.” You can read the full article here.

Luckily for fans, Signal has finally been renewed for a second season.

We’ll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available.

  1. Disapointed to read there is not going to be a Season 2 of Signal. Yes PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN. It cannot end like this. I want to see all 3 Jae-Han, Soo-hyun and Hae-young unite.

  2. Just finished Signal and absolutely loved it ! The season 1 ending is so set up for a season 2. How do we make this happen ?

  3. I would love to see more. “Signal” is one of the best most creative well written dramas ever! I am craving more for my addiction. The story lines within the story were fantastic. I couldn’t wait to get to the next one. These writers are so superb! They make a wonderfully creative team spewing originality, suspense and drama. MORE, MORE, MORE somehow, someway please! Best actors also. Did characters perfectly.

  4. sería genial!!!! pero lógicamente, prefiero esperar y que escriban un libreto a la altura de signal 1, y que puedan coincidir TODOS los protagonistas.. sería muy lindo que finalmente, logren salvar incluso a Park Soon Wo!!!! admito entre lágrimas que esperé hasta último momento que eso sucediera…
    vamos por más, Signal!!!!! Gracias…
