Actor Park Shin-hye will return with Season 2 of The Judge from Hell after giving birth this fall.
On the morning of the 1st, SBS held its drama media day event 'SBS DRAMA: NEXT EPISODE' at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Studio S CEO Hong Sung-chang and SBS scheduling director Kim Gi-seuk attended and discussed the lineup for the second half of this year and next year.
Among SBS's upcoming titles, Season 2 of The Judge from Hell drew major attention. Introducing next year's slate, Hong said, "Park Shin-hye, who is currently pregnant, will return with this project next year. This is the first time we're announcing it here."
Starring Park Shin-hye, The Judge from Hell delivered overwhelming catharsis by punishing villains in a devil's way. When it aired in 2024, it earned a personal-best 13.6% nationwide rating (Nielsen Korea), ranked No. 1 across all channels in its time slot, and dominated the top tiers of global OTT charts.
Meanwhile, Park Shin-hye is currently expecting her second child, with the birth anticipated this fall.
