Created by Moon Yoo-seok and based on the namesake Naver webtoon by Kim Gyu-sam, Vigilante is a South Korean action thriller series. The plot revolves around Kim Ji-yong, a young aspiring police officer who enrolls at the National Police Agency. When the night comes, he embraces his secret identity as the Vigilante and hunts down and punishes criminals who have escaped the Korean legal system with light sentences despite committing horrible crimes. Season 1 started streaming on November 8, 2023, and concluded on November 29, 2023. If you are wondering whether there will be a second season of Vigilante, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the Vigilante Season 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Vigilante Season 2 release date?
Vigilante Season 2 does not have an official release date, but it can be announced in the future.
As of December 2023, Vigilante hasn’t been greenlit for a second season yet. While South Korean shows generally wrap their storylines within one season, things have begun to change in recent years with the widespread popularity of the television content that comes out of that country. With shows like Squid Game, Kingdom, and Sweet Home receiving more than one season, it has become increasingly apparent that global success can lead to a multi-seasonal run. This can be true for Vigilante, which was produced and broadcast by Disney.
Ultimately, the renewal prospects of any TV show depend upon two things: narrative scope and the success of the previous season. The inaugural season of Vigilante ends by indicating that there is more to the story. In the Season 1 finale (spoilers warning for those who haven’t watched the episode), Ji-yong’s identity as the Vigilante remains a secret and he gains Mi-ryeo, Kang-ok, and Jo Heon as allies. Season 2 can potentially flesh out the dynamic between Ji-yong and these people while underscoring their changing views of the Korean legal system. So, since Vigilante Season 1 has been a successful venture for Disney, there is a legitimate possibility for a sophomore season.
The cast includes Nam Joo-hyuk as Kim Ji-yong, Yoo Ji-tae as Jo Heon, Lee Joon-hyuk as Cho Kang-ok, Kim So-jin as Choi Mi-ryeo, Kim Cheol-yoon as Yellow Hair / Seongyeol, Lee Hae-young as Uhm Jae-hyeop, and more.
