As fans eagerly await the resurrection of Netflix’s hit Korean zombie series, ‘Kingdom‘, we delve into everything you need to know about Season 3, from the plot teases to the cast lineup and beyond. While the show’s renewal has seen its fair share of delays, the anticipation remains sky-high. So, brace yourselves for a thrilling journey into the realm of the undead.
Here’s everything you need to know about Kingdom Season 3:
Season 3 Delay: Despite the show’s immense popularity, Netflix has yet to officially confirm a release date for ‘Kingdom’ Season 3.Reports suggest that the delay in renewal is, in part, due to current world events. The creators are cautious about releasing a series centred around a deadly plague following a worldwide pandemic, a concern that has contributed to the delay in greenlighting the next season.It’s been over two years since the release of the special feature-length episode, ‘Kingdom: Ashin of the North’, and more than three years since Season 2 hit screens. During this period, ‘Kingdom’ has had stiff competition from other Korean titles like ‘Squid Game’ and ‘All of Us Are Dead’. Despite its impressive performance raking in viewers, it stands in contrast to other K-drama titles on Netflix, classifying it as a relative underdog.
Renewal on the cards: Despite the delays, there have been positive signs that indicate that ‘Kingdom’ could return for a third season. The series’ screenwriter, Kim Eun-hee, and director Park In-je have both expressed their enthusiasm for the show’s future. Kim Eun-hee’s statement about having energy to continue the story up to Season 10, if viewers permit, has sparked optimism among fans.
Plot: Plot details for Season 3 remain closely guarded, but Kim Eun-hee hinted at the possibility of exploring the origin of the deadly plague. Given the trajectory of the previous seasons, it’s likely that the story will continue with Prince Lee Chang, Seo-bi, and Yeong-shin’s quest to uncover the truth behind the outbreak. This journey may lead them to Ashin and her secret involving the resurrection plant.
With the plot thickening, Season 3 is poised to continue the quest to uncover the truth behind the plague’s origin. The mysterious seller from the Chinese/Korean border, a woman with unclear motives, may hold the key to a sinister plot involving the annihilation of Korea’s population, paving the way for Chinese conquest.
Cast: If “Kingdom” Season 3 receives the green light, viewers can anticipate the return of key cast members, including Ju Ji-hoon (Prince Lee Chang), Bae Doona (Seo-bi), Kim Sung-kyu (Yeong-shin jein), and Jun Ji-hyun (Ashin), who is expected to take on the role of the new series villain.
Release Date: While the initial expectation was for ‘Kingdom’ Season 3 to arrive in early 2021, the pandemic-induced delays have altered this timeline significantly. As the TV industry navigates unprecedented setbacks, the release date remains uncertain.
