Netflix has now released the official teaser for Sweet Home season 2 as a part of Geeked Week 2023. Watch it below:
The season 1 trailer provides a glimpse into the blurred boundaries between humanity and monstrosity, showcasing characters who have ventured beyond that line. Additionally, the trailer hints at the vast expansion of the show's universe in the upcoming season, with monsters gradually assuming control over the entire world.
Are South Korean Genre Shows the Future of Netflix?
Premiered in 2020, Sweet Home has sparked a significant trend on the Netflix platform. As the first South Korean show to enter Netflix's U.S. Top 10 chart, it paved the way for the release of other successful genre shows from the region. Among them are the survival thriller Squid Game and the zombie K-drama All Of Us Are Dead, both of which have been renewed for a second season.
Squid Game and All Of Us Are Dead have made it to the Top 15 most-viewed Netflix shows of all time. Apart from the Spanish crime drama Money Heist, these South Korean shows have proven their ability to captivate an international audience. The success of Sweet Home's first season has already led to its renewal for a third season, and it remains to be seen if season 2 can continue to attract viewers. Netflix has been making changes to maintain its position in the streaming industry, such as introducing a cheaper ad-based tier to attract more subscribers. They have also shifted their focus away from expensive blockbusters like Red Notice. Given the success and appeal of South Korean genre shows like Sweet Home, it is likely that more shows from the region will be added to the platform, alongside additional seasons of already popular shows.
