Multi-awarded series Hellbound returns for its second season, and the things seen might not be what they seem. Is divine justice as we know it, or are the creatures dragging people to hell a part of something else entirely? We’ll finally know with the coming of season 2, based on the dark K-Drama fantasy work of Director Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) and writer Choi Gyu-Seok.
Season 1 Plot
Hellbound is set in a world where supernatural entities suddenly appear to deliver decrees of damnation, informing individuals of the exact date and time they’d be condemned to hell. The phenomenon gives rise to various groups, including cults, that exploit people’s fear of divine justice. In season 1, religious leader Chairman Jung Jinsu disappeared. Park Jungja was resurrected, and Min Hyejin escaped with baby Toughie despite being decreed to damnation.
Hellbound Season 2
The Hellbound Season 2 trailer will give you chills! The religious factions of the New Truth, the Arrowheads, and the Sodo leader, Hyejin, must grapple with the sudden resurrections of the formerly condemned. The founder of the religious cult The New Truth, Jung Jinsu, is resurrected after being condemned to hell for several years. Upon his rise from the dead, he realizes that The New Truth and a more extreme sect, the Arrowheads, now rule society. However, Jinsu discovers he’s not the only one who comes from hell and seeks to understand why he’s resurrected.
Season 2 continues the bleak yet hopeful worldview of Season 1, raising provocative questions and pushing an increasingly complex situation in an even more chaotic direction. As another extremist group rises and expands its influence with inflammatory rhetoric, the government tries to defuse the situation by establishing a new order through exploitation. Jung Jinsu’s resurrection triggers the clash among the three factions. While Season 1 focuses on human reactions grappling with a confusing phenomenon, Season 2 zeroes in on hell and of itself, created by a collision of collective interests and desires.
Available on Netflix
Hellbound Season 2 will star Vincenzo and Sweet Home Star Kim Sung-Cheol as Jung Jinsu, Kim Hyun-Joo as Min Hyejin, Kim Shin-rock as Park Jungja, Moon So-ri as Senior Secretary Lee, Lee Dong-hee as Kim Jeongchil, Cho Dong-in as Pinwheel, Moon Geun-young as Ms. Sunshine, Im Sung-jae as Cheon Sehyeong, Yang Ik-june as Jin Kyunghun, Lee Re as Jin Heejung, and Hong Eui-joon as Kim Sungjip. Hellbound Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on October 25, 2024. It will have its global premiere at the 29th Busan International Film Festival. Director Yeon Sang-Ho’s signature dystopian atmosphere triggers one to question humanity, and it’s intensified in season 2.
Final Thoughts
Unnerving might be the right word for Hellbound Season 2’s trailer. All hell will literally break loose! While it seems unrealistic, Director Yeon stated that viewers can relate to the show’s characters, especially those with different beliefs, which cause conflicts. Like his other works, such as the classic horror film Train to Busan and its sequel, Peninsula, the characters show people in society having different convictions and emotions, and perhaps it’s fun to watch the clash of these convictions while allowing the audience to think about our society.
