Has The Tale of Lady Ok Been Renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, The Tale of Lady Ok has not been renewed for season 2.
While the K-drama industry is changing its format, we are yet to see multiple season shows. Sure, dramas like Strong Girl Nam-soon, Doctor Romantic and Taxi Driver 2 appear to be an exception thanks to their roaring success. But it is unlikely that we will get The Tale of Lady Ok season 2 at the moment, especially since JTBC historical K-drama sequels are pretty rare.
What do we know about The Tale of Lady Ok Season 2?
Not much is known about The Tale of Lady Ok Season 2 at the moment given that it has not been greenlit. We could get a prequel which explores Gu-deok’s story as a slave or those in Cheongsu County like Yun-gyeom and the real Tae-young. Or a sequel could look at all our favourite characters healing together and going on their misadventures.
If the K-drama does return, you can expect a season with approximately 16 episodes, each lasting around 50 minutes. However, nothing is confirmed yet, but we’ll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in.
