"Hospital Playlist 2" was originally scheduled to be filmed in the middle of December last year after the cast had the script reading. However, due to the increasing cases of COVID-19 in Seoul, the supposed shooting schedule has been pushed through until further announcement.

Meanwhile, the production crew of the said drama already came up with a plan to finally begin filming, and they are expected to gather some of its cast for another script reading in the early days of January.

Moreover, to ensure the safety of everyone, they are planning to invite just several actors and staff for the script reading, and it is also in accordance with the government guidelines to lessen the spread of the virus. But this may also change depending on the situation.

Also, before going back to work, all actors, production staff, and filming personnel are strictly required to take the COVID-19 swab test to ensure a safe and healthy environment during the drama's shoot. The production team also shared that they are only allowed to start filming when all members test negative for COVID.

The "Hospital Playlist 2" production team also announced that they would keep the schedule and location private to avoid contact from the public. This is also another measure to keep everyone safe. The lesser people there are on set, the less likely infection could happen. The schedules are also strictly confidential and will only be disclosed to the production officials and actors of the said drama.

Previously, they shared that the drama will be airing in May this year, which has been postponed again and is in discussion to be pushed to the first part of June.

After season one comes to an end, fans and viewers have been patiently waiting for the next season of the drama. It gained popularity in the global scene for its unique plot and heart-fluttering moments from the cast.
