In a recent interview with MMTG, a Korean YouTube channel (via Dexterto), Full discussed the potential for Moving season 2. As the author of the webtoon on which the series is based, Full had previously downplayed the likelihood of a second season. However, in his recent comments, he takes a more balanced stance.

“The webtoon already has stories before and after [the drama takes place]. I think there is a possibility. It is not certain.”
Moving Is A Thrilling Superpowered Saga
Moving has generated significant buzz through word-of-mouth, earning praise from critics who see it as a potential frontrunner for the next international sensation. Hulu recently shared a video that highlights glowing reviews, labeling Moving as a blockbuster and a must-watch series. Some reviewers have even drawn parallels to the early days of Heroes, citing the show's rapid development of a captivating universe filled with compelling characters.
Disney+ has taken further steps to showcase the successes of Moving season 2, which is a potentially positive sign for the show. Since its debut, the amount of time spent on Disney+ in South Korea has skyrocketed by an impressive 145%.

Consequently, it has garnered a large and enthusiastic audience eager to learn more about the show's future.
