[Sportschosun reporter Jo Ji-young] Disney+ original series 'A Shop for Killers Season 2' (written by Hojin Ji and Kwon Lee, directed by Kwon Lee) has returned, showcasing the powerful presence of actors Lee Dong-wook and Kim Hye-joon.
After the release of its Re-Opening poster and teaser trailer drew an explosive response from viewers, with comments such as "Jeong Jin-man is back," "This is going to be the most anticipated drama of 2026," and "I've been waiting for this more than anything," 'A Shop for Killers Season 2' has now unveiled a teaser poster and teaser trailer that hint at the story to come.
The released poster grabs attention with the caption "The handover is over" and the striking visuals of Jin-man (Lee Dong-wook) and Ji-an (Kim Hye-joon), both staring straight ahead with sharp expressions.
In particular, Ji-an, who was flustered in Season 1 by attacks from those targeting her uncle's shopping mall, Murthehelp, now shows a much steadier gaze, raising expectations for what she will do next. The two, both bearing facial scars and carrying guns ready to face enemies at any moment, further fuel curiosity about the new threats they face and the expanded storyline.
The teaser released alongside the poster heightens anticipation by showing Ji-an, after a brutal handover, becoming the new owner of Murthehelp and taking on Babylon. With Babylon trying to use Ji-an to capture Jin-man as well, and Veil (Jo Han-sun) burning with murderous intent toward Jin-man, threats keep piling up. Jin-man's chilling advice, "You have to protect the arm that is left," suggests that Murthehelp's fate will be anything but smooth and adds to the tension.
Ji-an also draws interest by saying, "I'm not afraid of dying anymore," as she prepares a counterattack to protect everything. Having accepted the fate that unexpectedly fell upon her and become the new head after Jin-man, viewers around the world are watching closely to see how Ji-an will lead Murthehelp and whether she can break free from the giant arms company Babylon, which is constantly looking for a chance to take everything away.
'A Shop for Killers Season 2' is expected to present viewers with an even broader universe, with director Kwon Lee returning to helm the series after completing Season 1 with solid craftsmanship.
Lee Dong-wook, who delivered a strong presence and action as Jin-man, Kim Hye-joon as Ji-an, who goes from an ordinary niece to someone who learns the truth about her mysterious uncle, and Jo Han-sun as Veil, the worst villain and a so-called killing machine, are all set to return. Geum Hae-na, Kim Min, and Lee Tae-young, who were widely loved as dependable allies playing Min-hye, Pasin, and Brother, will also be back, promising perfect chemistry. In addition, Jung Yoon-ha, Hyunri, and Masaki Okada, all recognized for their acting across a range of genres, have joined as members of Babylon's East Asia Branch, raising expectations for nail-biting tension.
'A Shop for Killers Season 2' is a stylish action series in which Ji-an (Kim Hye-joon), now the new head of the shopping mall after a grueling handover, launches a full-scale counterattack against Babylon's global forces alongside the resurrected Jin-man (Lee Dong-wook). The series stars Lee Dong-wook, Kim Hye-joon, Jo Han-sun, Geum Hae-na, Kim Min, Jung Yoon-ha, Hyunri, Masaki Okada, and Lee Tae-young. It is written by Hojin Ji, who also wrote the first season, and directed by Kwon Lee. The series is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in July.
