Kian84’s Netflix Variety Show Confirms Season 2 in 2026

Netflix has officially announced the production of “Daehwanjang Kianjang 2,” the highly anticipated second season of the hit Netflix variety show hosted by Kian84. On December 5, 2025, Netflix Korea confirmed the news via its social media channels and began recruiting guests for the new installment of the popular Korean reality show, which is scheduled for release in 2026.

A New Winter Wonderland Setting for Kian84

After the success of the first season set on the scenic island of Ulleungdo, the show is making a significant change of scenery. Season 2 will take place in Daegwallyeong, a location famous for its beautiful and harsh winters. This shift promises a completely different atmosphere, moving from the tranquil island life of “Kian’s Bizarre B&B” to a cozy and potentially chaotic winter guesthouse experience. The production aims to deliver a “new concept guesthouse variety show” that captures the unique charm of its host and the stunning winter landscape.

Guest Recruitment Begins for Daegwallyeong

Coinciding with the official announcement on December 5, 2025, Netflix Korea opened applications for guests to stay at Kian84’s new guesthouse. The social media announcement has already generated significant buzz among fans, who are eager to see what kind of interactions and stories will unfold in the snowy setting of Daegwallyeong. This marks the official start of production for the beloved Korean reality show’s next chapter.

The Creative Team Behind the Hit Show

The series is in capable hands with a team known for creating iconic Korean reality shows. Producer Jeong Hyomin, who pioneered the guesthouse variety genre with the legendary series “Hyori’s Homestay,” returns to helm the project. Her expertise in capturing authentic human moments is expected to be a cornerstone of the new season. Joining her is director Lee Somin, who will be directing the second season for the production company Studio Modak.

Building on Season 1’s Global Success

The first season, titled “Kian’s Bizarre B&B,” was released in 2024 and quickly became a global hit. Set in Ulleungdo, the show was praised for its unique blend of humor, warmth, and Kian84’s unconventional hosting style. Its popularity was reflected in its performance on streaming charts, where it ranked 6th on the Netflix Global TOP 10 list for non-English TV shows shortly after its release. With a proven track record and a fresh new concept, expectations are incredibly high for “Daehwanjang Kianjang 2” to capture the hearts of viewers worldwide once again when it premieres in 2026.
