Renewed Or Cancelled?
When the Stars Gossip is an intriguing K-drama, taking the typical thriller and romance vibes, then jetting out to space for a completely different setting. 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 When the Stars Gossip about?
When The Stars Gossip tells the story of an astronaut and a tourist who meet and fall in love at a space station. Gong Ryong is an OB-GYN (obstetrician-gynecologist), who is staying at the space station for a few days as a space tourist, but he has a secret goal.
Gong Ryong is also the future son-in-law of the MZ Group, which happens to be the richest conglomerate in Korea. Commander Eve Kim heads to the space station after receiving her first mission as a commander, and she’s a perfectionist, who strictly follows the rules and certainly doesn’t tolerate a mistake in an area where dangers lurk everywhere.
Predictably, these two end up entangled together and start falling for one another.
We have ongoing coverage of When the Stars Gossip across the site including recaps for the season. You can check those out HERE!
Has When the Stars Gossip been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, tvN have not renewed When the Stars Gossip 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 3.3% share nationwide but since then, the show has been decreasing in popularity with every passing week, with the later episodes hovering around 2% nationwide.
Regardless of 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 When the Stars Gossip will not be renewed for a second season. On top of that, this is billed as a limited series which only has 1 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 When the Stars Gossip will, but you never know! We’ll be sure to update this section when we know more.
