SBS Doubles Down on Season Dramas: “FlexxCop 2” Updates

SBS is solidifying its reputation as a powerhouse of season dramas, officially announcing new installments for its hit series. On December 03, 2025, the network confirmed that the popular drama “FlexxCop” will return for a second season, scheduled to air in 2026. This move is part of a broader strategy that includes a sequel for “Good Partner” and follows the recent launch of “Taxi Driver” Season 3, signaling a strong commitment to developing successful franchises.

SBS’s Strategy: A New Era of Season Dramas

SBS is strategically building a lineup of returning Korean drama series, aiming to become a “master of seasonal dramas.” The network has found a successful formula, as evidenced by the crime-action series “Taxi Driver.” The third season of this highly-rated show began broadcasting on November 21, 2025, after its previous seasons consistently ranked in the top five for viewership among all terrestrial and cable dramas since 2023. This success has paved the way for other popular shows to follow suit, with fans often expressing their desire for more content from their favorite series. This trend of extending storylines has become a significant part of the K-Drama landscape, with networks capitalizing on established fanbases, a phenomenon seen in many 2022 K-Dramas fans wish to see return for Season 2.

“FlexxCop” Season 2: Familiar Face, New Partnership

Following its successful run in 2024, “FlexxCop” is officially set for a comeback. The biggest news for the upcoming K-drama is the change in its lead pairing. Actor Ahn BoHyun will reprise his role as the chaebol detective Jin Yisu, much to the delight of fans. However, Park JiHyun, who played the female lead in the first season, will not be returning. Instead, actress Jung EunChae will join the cast as the new female lead, promising a fresh dynamic and new on-screen chemistry with Ahn BoHyun.

What to Expect from the New “FlexxCop” Pairing

The casting change is a deliberate move by SBS to inject new energy into the series. While Ahn BoHyun will continue to anchor the show with his established character, the introduction of Jung EunChae is expected to create a different kind of partnership. This strategy of retaining one lead while introducing another aims to refresh the narrative while maintaining the core appeal that made the first season a hit. The combination of a familiar hero and a new partner is a key element in SBS’s plan for its upcoming season dramas.

More Upcoming K-Dramas: “Good Partner” Season 2

Alongside “FlexxCop,” the legal drama “Good Partner” is also slated for a second season in 2026. The series, which was a success in 2024, will see lead actress Jang Nara return to her role. Her performance in the first season was critically acclaimed, earning her an SBS Drama Award. Following the same strategic pattern, “Good Partner” Season 2 will feature Jang Nara alongside a new lead partner, aiming to replicate the casting refresh seen in “FlexxCop.” This consistent approach across its major sequels highlights SBS’s confidence in this new formula for building enduring and evolving Korean drama series.
