It's no surprise why fans patiently wait for the beloved medical Kdrama to return for a new sequel but the big question is, will "Hospital Playlist" Season 3 happen?
Released in 2020, the first season gained an overwhelming response from the public, making it one of the most-watched series at the time.
Moreover, the season 1 finale wrapped up with an impressive viewership rating of 14.142 percent, the medical series' highest viewership recorded.
Due to the public's demand, "Hospital Playlist" Season 2 returned in July 2021, showing interesting character developments with lead stars Jo Jung Suk, Jeon Mi Do, Yoo Yeon Seok, Jung Kyung Ho, Kim Dae Myung as well as the supporting cast.
After the tvN series bid goodbye in September, fans are relentlessly looking forward to season 3; however, "Hospital Playlist" director Shin Won Ho says having season 3 is not an easy decision, hinting that the medical K-drama is unlikely to return.

Cast Hints at 'Hospital Playlist' Season 3
As the world celebrates Valentine's day, Jung Kyung Ho, who plays the sarcastic and grumpy cardiac surgeon Kim Jun Wan, sent fans into a frenzy after posting photos featuring the "Hospital Playlist" cast.
In the photos, the main stars a.k.a 99ers appeared wearing blue scrubs and white lab coats in what seems like the set of the medical Kdrama.
Shortly after Kim Dae Myung, who took on the role of obstetrics and gynecology assistant professor Yang Seok Hyung posted another reunion photo.
Of course, this raised speculations that the tvN K-drama might return for season 3.
'Hospital Playlist' Season 3 Release Date
Despite no official announcement from tvN or with PD Shin Won Ho, media outlets predicted that "Hospital Playlist" Season 3 might air in 2023.
If Kim Dae Myung and Jung Kyung Ho's Instagram post is indeed the production for its third sequel, most likely, tvN will air the follow-up season sometime next year, so fans should keep an eye out for more future updates.
'Hospital Playlist' Season 3 Possible Storyline
If season one focused on the characters' individuality, season 2 highlights the main casts' connection to their families, patients, and budding romances.
It is safe to say that if "Hospital Playlist 3" will get the green light from the network, the third installment might focus on the four main love stories.
Ahn Jung Won will be reunited with Dr. Jang as he returns from the United States.
Moreover, this only means more airtime for Chae Song Hwa and Lee Ik Jun, Yang Suk Hyung and Lee Ik Soon, and the adorable GomGom couple Chu Min Ha and Yang Seok Hyung.
