Renewed Or Cancelled?
The Kidnapping Day is an interesting K-drama with some great characters, a decent premise and enticing action at its heart. The story seems to be getting a very positive reaction from its fans and it’s certainly a popular one.
If you’ve been following The Kidnapping Day, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more! Here’s what we know about a renewal:
What is The Kidnapping Day Season 1 about?
The show narrates the story of Kim Myung-joon, a poor man with a warm heart who needs money for his sick daughter’s operation. Upon his ex-wife’s suggestion, he kidnaps a child with rich parents but ends up in an accident, hitting a young girl – Choi Ro-hee.
As it turns out, Ro-hee has not only lost her memory but her parents are also dead. With no one to pay their ransom amount for Ro-hee, and her memory lost, Myung-joon turns into her father. Things take a chaotic turn when Ro-hee discovers that Myung-joon is not her father but her kidnapper.
We have ongoing coverage of The Kidnapping Day across the site, including recaps for all episodes. You can find that HERE!
Has The Kidnapping Day been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, ENA or Prime Video have not renewed The Kidnapping Day for season 2. Given the ratings over the weeks, it won’t be surprising to see them renew this for a follow-up.
The ratings began with a 1.8% share nationwide but since then, the show has only been going upwards with Episode 11 receiving a nationwide rating of 4.2% ratings.
Given that most Korean dramas only run for a single season, we predict that The Kidnapping Day will not be renewed. However, given the positive reaction from fans and the favourable ratings, it won’t be a shocker for the makers to renew this one for a new season.
We’ll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available though.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Most Korean dramas are reserved for one season, as detailed above, with the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.). But with all things considered, it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed.
However, there is always the possibility that the actors return for a follow-up sequel or spin-off featuring the same characters. Even with that on the table though, based on everything we’ve seen, The Kidnapping Day will probably not be renewed.
We generally aim to update this page when more information becomes available.

Absolutely… without a doubt, RENEW!!! We loved it and watched it literally all Saturday and wrapped up Sunday. I was so Surprised to see it on Prime and not Netflix to be honest. Or even Viki Rakuten. With that being said there is plenty to move forward with and we are comfortable knowing it will for sure get a season 2! 😉
bro pick a side it’s either yes or no, to me the story still has a room for development since we don’t get a clear ending of the “x capital company” they invested so much money and even killed many people for the research, it makes no sense that they just let it go so easy.
This is an interesting series however there’s a lot of characters mentioned without their faces shown and much more that need to be unwrapped📦 Oh nd that girl that looks like Rohee, we deserve to know who is she right?😀 Plus the court didnt decide on the time mr kim is going to pay for his crime at the prison ideally a season 2 issa must if i may say🤪 … You guys did a very wonderful job. More greece to your elbow 💪🎉🙌❤️👍🌷
It definitly doesn’t look like the end. At The conversation where Jaden was drugged, the other guy said “They want a new man on the job.”, probably meaning new villains might appear to try to kidnap Ro-hee. We have only met some of the investors while there were others that are part of this plan. I’m also curious to see what happens next, some leveled action and crazy life-threatening scenes.
Who’s the higher-up behind Kang Hanuel’s appearance?
The last part showed there is another girl with the same face as Ro-hee. I have been watching k-dramas and with this kind of ending writers do have things in mind. Looking forward for season 2
GIVE US SEASON TWO! WE WANT TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MR.KIM IS FREE AND HAVE A TIME FOR HIS GIRLS, AND ABOUT THAT RO-HEE LOOK A LIKE. IT FEELS LIKE IT WASN’T END YET.
