Renewed or Cancelled?
The Impossible Heir is a 12 episode K-drama that’s recently aired on Disney+, and if you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know so far:
What is The Impossible Heir about?
Freedom, recognition and social upliftment is what our three protagonists have ever desired. Han Tae-oh, the son of a criminal, has been perpetually tainted by his family background. His childhood friend Kang In-ha, an illegitimate son of the chairman of Kang Oh group, desires success and recognition.
At the same time, Na Hye-won has but experienced poverty and debt is determined to turn her life around for the better no matter the cost and her thirst for revenge against the Kang-oh group is insatiable.
While In-ha and Tae-oh hatch a plan to get In-ha recognised as an unlikely heir to the Kang Oh throne, Hye-won and Tae-oh aim to reach their goals along the way. In this tale woven around hidden conspiracies and a unquenchable thirst for power and revenge, can Tae-oh, In-ha and Hye-won reach their goals? Or will their ambitions lead them to their graves?
Has The Impossible Heir been renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, The Impossible Heir has not been renewed for a second season. Given the nature of this series, that could change if there is some positivity from the viewers and encouragement from the creators and the audience.
Generally, K-dramas don’t usually run for multiple seasons but, like other cable networks and streamers, numerous metrics are looked at before the renewal of 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 (ala. Squid Game, Bridgerton etc.) Other times, it can take months before streamers decide a show’s future.
The Impossible Heir has had a pretty mixed response from fans, although it is worth mentioning that its reaction has been quite popular compared to other K-dramas out at the moment.
Given how the season ends, a follow-up may be on the cards but we’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What do we know about Season 2 so far:
Not much is known about season 2 at the time of writing, given this has not officially renewed this one yet. The Impossible Heir is very unlikely to get the greenlight either, in all honesty, and it’s likely that this will remain a one season only drama.
Fans will be eagerly watching for any new announcements, and of course we’ll be sure to update this article when we know for definite. We’ll be sure to update this section with more information as it becomes available.
