Bloodhounds Season 2: Release details, cast news and plot details – Everything we know so far

The hype train never stopped rolling after that insane Season 1 finale. Two broke boxers beating the hell out of loan sharks, rooftop fights in the rain, and a friendship that hit harder than any punch – Bloodhounds owned Netflix charts in 83 countries for a reason. Now Season 2 is officially locked, loaded, and coming in hot. Production’s done, editing’s happening, and the internet is losing its mind. Here’s the full rundown – no fluff, just facts and the good kind of spoilers.

When Does Bloodhounds Season 2 Drop?

Word on the street says June 5, 2026. Yeah, that’s still a ways out, but filming started September 2024 and wrapped around May-June 2025, so the timeline lines up perfectly with how fast they turned Season 1 around. Netflix hasn’t slapped an official date yet, but every leak and insider post points to mid-2026, probably another full eight-episode dump so everyone can binge like animals again. Bigger budget this time means crazier stunts, international locations, and fight choreography that’ll make jaws drop. Patience hurts, but it’s gonna be worth the bruises.

Cast News: Who’s Back in the Ring and Who’s Joining the Fight?

Woo Do-hwan is back as Kim Geon-woo – quiet, deadly, still throwing hands like a human sledgehammer. Lee Sang-yi returns as Hong Woo-jin, the mouthy pretty boy who dodges punches and cracks jokes at the same time. That bromance carried the whole show last time and it’s only getting stronger.

The supporting OGs like Heo Joon-ho (President Choi) and Park Sung-woong (Myung-gil, maybe?) are expected to show face, but the real noise is about the new blood.

Rain (yes, the Rain) is the big bad this season – a terrifying underground fight club boss named Baek Jun-min. Dude hasn’t played a proper villain in 20 years and apparently went full psycho for the role. Early set leaks have him looking shredded and scary as hell.

Hwang Chan-sung from 2PM joins the crew too – nobody’s 100% sure if he’s friend or foe yet, but the guy’s built like a tank now, so expect him throwing people through walls.

Kim Sae-ron’s status is still up in the air after everything that went down IRL, but the story’s moving forward either way.

Plot Details: What’s Next for Gun-woo and Woo-jin?

Season 1 ended with the boys finally free from debt, Myung-gil six feet under (or so we think), and both of them chasing real boxing careers. Season 2 throws all that peace straight into a woodchipper.

Geon-woo and Woo-jin get pulled into the “Dark League” – a global illegal fighting circuit where billionaires bet on death matches. Rain’s character runs the whole thing from the shadows and decides Geon-woo is his new favorite toy. Think richer villains, deadlier rules, and fights that make Season 1 look like a playground scuffle.

There’s talk of tournaments in Macau, underground arenas in Thailand, and a betrayal that’s gonna break the internet when it drops. The heart of the show stays the same though – two brothers who’d burn the world down for each other, now just doing it on a bigger stage with way more blood.
