Screenwriter Kim Eun Hee Announces 'Signal 2' Is in the Works
According to a report, Kim Eun Hee, along with BA Entertainment CEO Jang Won Seok, announced that they are "preparing season 2 of 'Signal.'"
Prior to the confirmation of the highly-anticipated series, the screenwriter has consistently expressed her desire to release "Signal 2."
In a previous interview, Kim Eun Hee mentioned that "it would be an honor" if tvN decided to continue "Signal" with Season 2. Moreover, she also shared that she has no plans to make the series with multiple seasons in mind but acknowledges the support and desire of viewers for a sequel.
As for the possible cast members, Kim Eun Hee still wanted the trio-Jo Jin Woong, Kim Hye Soo, and Lee Je Hoon-to headline the series.
"A second season would only be meaningful if the three actors were to return. If they can make their schedules work, I'd like to work with them and director Kim Won Seok again."
Lastly, Kim Eun Hee confessed that if there's a project she wants to release before she retires, it would be "Signal."
As mentioned, "Signal" is one of Kim Eun Hee's iconic works with "My Mister" and "Arthdal Chronicles" director Kim Won Suk. Inspired by real-life criminal incidents in Korea, the K-drama depicts the journey of police detectives who were connected by a mysterious radio that could broadcast from the past. Due to this, they were able to solve cold cases despite living in a different era.
"Signal" also touched on the Hwaseong serial murder case, which happened in 2004.
During the finale episode, the series ended the story with a cliffhanger featuring a mysterious note that raised speculations about the possible sequel.
