Weak Hero: Class 1 Season 2 set to move to Netflix
According to various reports, Netflix will take over Weak Hero: Class 1 Season 2 due to Wavve’s management difficulties.

Fans are thrilled about the K-drama being on Netflix as it will make it more accessible worldwide. One fan expressed, "It's a win for me but I hope Netflix will do better, don't ruin this show, okay?" Another mentioned, "Ahh, that's great news, especially since 'Weak Hero' and 'Class 1' got so much hype. I'm sure it'll be good for Season 2 as well. I just want to see Choi Hyun and Jihoon acting again, they're both so good in the series."
Season 1 of Weak Hero served as a prequel to Si-eun’s main storyline, setting the stage for the exploration of his character in the upcoming season. The finale of the K-drama also hinted at a continuation involving one of the main antagonists. For more K-drama news and ending explanations for other series, click here.
