In an interview with TV Line, series creator Soo Hugh provided updates regarding the potential for ‘Pachinko’ Season 3. Despite the series cultivating a dedicated fanbase, it has struggled to make a significant impact on the Nielsen streaming charts. When asked about the status of Season 3, Hugh stated, “No, we haven’t started officially,” as reported by Collider. This contrasts sharply with the rapid announcement of Season 2 following Season 1’s conclusion.
Hugh noted that while she has not yet received a green light for the third season, she has been envisioning it for quite some time. “When I pitched to Apple and the buyers now five, six years ago, I pitched the entire [three-season] storyline,” she explained, emphasizing that they are currently awaiting news about the next installment. “It’s out of our hands — and we’re also celebrating Season 2, making sure we get to enjoy this,” she added, highlighting her team’s focus on the recently concluded season.
Season 2 of ‘Pachinko’ skillfully navigates dual timelines, portraying the profound impacts of war, poverty, and intricate human relationships. Set against a mid-20th-century backdrop, characters strive for survival amidst chaos and turmoil. Hansu relentlessly pursues power while Sunja dedicates herself to protecting her family. The late 20th-century timeline follows Solomon as he seeks power despite facing significant setbacks. As the season unfolds, Sunja is forced to confront a painful past she wishes to forget.
The season culminates in a chaotic finale that disrupts the characters’ hard-won sense of stability, leaving audiences eager for what comes next. Should ‘Pachinko’ be renewed for a third season, fans can anticipate a continuation of these intricate narratives, providing opportunities to resolve some of the most compelling plotlines established throughout the series.
The talented cast includes Lee Min-ho as Koh Hansu, Yuh-Jung Youn as Older Sunja, Minha Kim as Younger Sunja, Jin Ha as Solomon Baek, Anna Sawai as Naomi Ichizaki, among others. Their performances have garnered widespread acclaim.
Despite its critical success and dedicated following, it remains uncertain whether ‘Pachinko’ will return for a third season as no official renewal has been announced yet.
