Flex X Cop 2 Confirmed: Ahn BoHyun Returns with New Lead

SBS officially announced on December 3, 2025, that the hit crime comedy Korean drama “FlexxCop” will return for a second season. Actor Ahn BoHyun is confirmed to reprise his leading role as the unconventional detective Jin Yisu. He will be joined by a new female lead, Jung EunChae, for the highly anticipated “Flex X Cop 2”, which is scheduled to premiere in 2026.

A New Dynamic for “Flex X Cop 2”

The upcoming season promises a significant shift in the team dynamic at the Gangha Police Station Violent Crimes Unit 1. Jung EunChae will portray Joo Hyera, the newly appointed team leader. Her character is described as a formidable figure, once known as the “devil instructor” at the police academy, where she was a former instructor to Jin Yisu (Ahn BoHyun). This new power dynamic, with Jin Yisu now reporting to his former tough-as-nails mentor, is expected to be a central source of conflict and comedy. Jung EunChae takes over the female lead role from Park JiHyun, who starred in the first season.

The “Flex Investigation” Continues

The core concept of the “flex investigation story” will continue in “Flex X Cop 2”. The series follows the journey of Jin Yisu, an immature third-generation chaebol who uses his immense wealth, personal connections, and creative thinking to solve crimes that baffle traditional detectives. The second season will explore how his unorthodox methods clash with the principled and by-the-book approach of his new superior, Joo Hyera. Fans can expect the same witty writing and sharp direction, as writer Kim Bada and director Kim Jaehong are both returning to helm the sequel, ensuring continuity in tone and quality.

Building on Season 1’s Success

The decision to produce a sequel comes after the immense success of the first season. The original series, FlexxCop, which aired in 2024, garnered significant viewership and became a hot topic among Korean drama fans. By greenlighting “Flex X Cop 2”, SBS continues its successful strategy of building franchises around popular series, a model that has worked well for other hits like “Taxi Driver 3”. The return of this beloved crime comedy is already generating considerable buzz.

Meet the New Lead, Jung EunChae

Jung EunChae is a critically acclaimed actress known for her impressive range and memorable performances. She has taken on diverse roles in major projects, including the global hit “Pachinko”, the psychological thriller “Anna”, and the upcoming historical drama “Jung Nyeon”. Her addition to the cast of “Flex X Cop 2” is seen as a major win, and viewers are eager to see her chemistry with Ahn BoHyun. Her portrayal of the sharp and charismatic Joo Hyera is expected to bring a fresh and compelling energy to the popular series. With a confirmed 2026 broadcast, the countdown for the return of the chaebol detective has officially begun.
