The future of the Netflix K-drama, The Trauma Code, hangs in the balance, sparking excitement and speculation among fans. With a gripping storyline and a dedicated audience, the series has made a strong impression since its debut. As discussions surrounding its continuation intensify, viewers are eager to know what lies ahead. So, has The Trauma Code been renewed or canceled for Season 2?
Here’s everything we know so far.
Is The Trauma Code Season 2 renewed by Netflix or canceled?
At the time of writing, Netflix has not officially renewed or canceled The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call for a second season. However, discussions surrounding its renewal have intensified following the show’s strong debut on the streaming platform.
Director Lee Do-Yoon recently provided an update that has left fans hopeful. Speaking to Chosun Biz, he admitted that while he is unsure about the show’s future, he has prepared his own devices in case Netflix greenlights a second season according to The Direct. Actor Ju Ji-hoon echoed this sentiment, stating that the decision ultimately rests with the audience and how well the series performs.
Meanwhile, actor Choo Young-woo, who plays Yang Jae-won, expressed enthusiasm for a potential sequel. In an interview with Nate, Young-woo stated that he would definitely return for Season 2 if given the opportunity. This aligns with Netflix’s strategy of renewing shows that maintain strong audience engagement.
If Netflix bases its decision on viewership metrics, the outlook appears promising. Since its January 24, 2025 release, The Trauma Code has consistently ranked in Netflix’s Top 10 in multiple countries, including the U.S., South Korea, and Australia. (via All Kpop)
Looking at the production timeline of Season 1, which began casting in mid-2023 and debuted in early 2025, a second season would likely follow a similar 18–24-month production cycle. This means that, if renewed soon, Season 2 may not premiere until 2027 at the earliest.
For now, fans can continue streaming The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call on Netflix and hope for an official renewal announcement.
