In just six episodes, “Black Knight” has captivated audiences by weaving an interesting storyline and introducing them to a post-apocalyptic world. Fans are now wondering if there will be a second season for the South Korean drama that premiered on Netflix on May 12, 2023, adapted from the comics created by Lee Yun-kyun.
The plot revolves around 5-8 and other special dealers, who are the key to helping humanity survive. Although they work for the Cheonmyeong Group, they are undercover agents working to uncover secrets.
So, will “Black Knight” have a second season? Netflix has not confirmed this yet. Although it’s possible, there are several reasons why it may not happen.
Firstly, season 1 ties up all its loose ends and has a complete closure to the story. The series ends with 5-8 and the delivery men successfully defeating Ryu Seok, rescuing the president, and saving Sa-wol from the experiments. The series concludes with the refugees being integrated into housing complexes and being considered citizens, thereby eliminating the caste system. Furthermore, the Cheonmyeong Group is no longer secretly polluting the air, and there will no longer be an oxygen crisis in certain areas of South Korea. Therefore, continuing the story would make little sense.
Additionally, “Black Knight” is based on a digital comic that may have other arcs that could be adapted for the show. However, the Netflix series has already changed many details of the characters and the story while taking only the original work as inspiration.
Lastly, Korean series or kdramas are typically short, with only one season of 14 to 25 episodes. Thus, it’s unlikely that “Black Knight” will return for a second season.
In conclusion, while we wait for an official confirmation, the chances of “Black Knight” returning for a second season seem slim. The show already concluded its storyline and left the audience with a sense of closure. Nonetheless, fans of the series can still enjoy the show’s first season, which continues to be available on Netflix.
