The adrenaline-pumping Disney+ original series “A Shop for Killers” is officially returning for a highly anticipated second season! On April 21, 2025, Disney+ confirmed the production of Season 2, thrilling fans who were amazed by the show’s dark plot and intense performances.
Slated for a 2026 premiere, the upcoming season promises even more gripping action, complex character dynamics, and new faces to stir up the deadly world of assassins.
Based on the novel by The Killer’s Shopping List author Kang Ji Young, the drama centers around Jung Ji An, played by Kim Hye Joon, a young woman who finds herself at the center of a dangerous conspiracy after inheriting her uncle’s mysterious business.
In Season 1, she was thrust into a violent world of hired killers after her uncle, Jin Man, dies suddenly. What follows is a perilous journey of survival and self-discovery amidst lethal mercenaries and betrayal.
Season 2 will continue this story with both returning and new cast members. Fan favorites Lee Dong Wook (as the enigmatic and skilled uncle Jin Man) and Kim Hye Joon (as Ji An) are back to delve deeper into their intense bond, which was a highlight of the first season.
Returning alongside them are Jo Han Sun (Bale, a menacing villain from Babylon), Geum Hae Na (Min Hye, fierce and battle-hardened), Lee Tae Young (Brother, the steady hand of the operation), and Kim Min (Pasin, a Muay Thai expert and trusted ally).
Season 2 ups the ante with the introduction of new, powerful characters. Hyun Ri, known for her roles in Pachinko and Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, joins as Q, the formidable leader of Babylon’s East Asia branch mercenary team.
Japanese actor Masaki Okada, fresh off the global success of Drive My Car, plays J, Q’s younger brother and co-leader.
Adding more intrigue, Jung Yun Ha will portray Kusanagi, the head of the Babylon East Asia branch, ensuring that Ji An’s path is filled with both physical and psychological warfare.
With filming scheduled to begin in 2025, A Shop for Killers Season 2 is shaping up to be even more explosive than its predecessor.
Fans can expect more high-octane fight scenes, deeper emotional arcs, and thrilling power struggles in this deadly underworld. As Ji An evolves from a reluctant heiress to a skilled survivor, Season 2 will test her resilience more than ever before.
