Sweet Home Netflix Season 2 Renewal Status
Netflix Official Renewal Status: Renewed (Last Updated: 06/15/2022)
Eighteen months have passed since Sweet Home launched on Netflix, and the streamer has finally confirmed that Sweet Home will return for its second season and is officially in production.
In March 2022, we previously reported that several images on Song Kang’s manager’s Instagram page almost confirmed the renewal. There was some debate about the legitimacy of the image, but that no longer matters as the series will be returning.

Season 3 confirmed
Fans will be happy to know that Sweet Home has also been renewed for a third season. The video’s description states that “Season 2 and 3 are now in production.” This strongly suggests that filming could be done back-to-back for the two seasons, with a small break possibly in between.
How Sweet Home perform?
The popularity of the original can greatly affect the time it takes for Netflix to announce a series renewal. It can often take Netflix a few weeks or even a few months before a renewal is announced, as seen with Sweet Home.
Sweet Home performed well worldwide on Netflix in its first month of release, entering at least 32 different top lists t0. In particular Sweet Home managed to reach number one on Netflix in South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The series managed to enter the US top ten. with Sweet Home reaching the top ten in the US, it would greatly increase the series’ chances of being renewed.
What to expect from Sweet Home Season 2?
The season finale of Sweet Home left us with a lot to think about for Season 2.
What happened to Sang-Wook?
Before the final moments of Season 1, we last saw Sang-Wook dying in a pool of his own blood after trying to help Yu Ri. The final twist of the season was Cha Hyun Soo waking up in the military van driven by a scarless Sang-Wook.
One of two things could have happened to Sang Wook. First, Sang Wook either underwent his own metamorphosis and is currently in the Golden Hour before he transforms into a monster. Second, we last saw Myeong fleeing in a military van after being defeated by Cha Hyun Soo, and since his powers seem to be taking over other people, he could have taken control of Sang Wook’s body.

Is Eun Hyuk dead?
In the moments before the Green Homes collapsed, Eun Hyuk began to bleed in the same manner as infected. Despite being buried under the rubble of the apartment block, if Eun Hyuk goes through his own metamorphosis, any regenerative abilities can save his life.
The trigger for Eun Hyuk’s conversion may be his desire to keep his broken family together. Although he is not Eun Yoo’s biological brother, he still feels responsible for his sister’s well-being.

Yi Kyung on the hunt for Cha Hyun Soo?
Yi Kyung spent much of the first season trying to figure out what happened to her fiancé, Nam Sang Won. Despite not keeping her end of the bargain with the military, Yi Kyung has now joined them and will likely be on the hunt for Cha Hyun Soo. If she can capture Cha Hyun Soo, she may finally learn the fate of her fiancé.

What will happen to the other survivors?
Only a small handful of survivors made it out of the Green Homes alive. With the promise of shelter and safe haven, it’s more than likely that the survivor’s next home won’t be very safe for long. Eun Hyuk made it clear that the military cannot guarantee safety as they cannot stop the survivors from turning into monsters.
Eun Soo has feelings for Cha Hyun Soo, so there could be a future tragic or happy meeting.

With production officially confirmed, we can now start speculating when season 2 will be released on Netflix.
Filming for Season 1 took eight months, running from June 2019 to February 2020. Assuming production only started in June 2022, then that means filming may not wrap until February 2023. This however, it also means we may have to wait until December 2023 for the return of Sweet Home.
Estimated release date: late 2023
