“The Second Signal” Reportedly Sets November Premiere Date + tvN Responds

The production team behind the highly anticipated second season of “Signal” has responded to reports regarding the drama’s premiere schedule.

On June 30, MyDaily reported that “The Second Signal” has been slated to premiere on November 30 as tvN’s new Monday-Tuesday drama. According to the report, the eight-episode series will run through December 22, with the production team currently preparing for its release. The report also claimed that the drama will air without re-editing lead actor Cho Jin Woong’s scenes.

In response to the report, tvN stated, “Nothing has been finalized.”

“The Second Signal” is the long-awaited sequel to the hit drama “Signal,” arriving 10 years after the original series. The drama was initially scheduled to premiere this month as part of tvN’s 20th anniversary lineup. However, its release was indefinitely postponed after lead actor Cho Jin Woong retired from the entertainment industry last December following revelations about a juvenile criminal record from his school days.

“Signal” Season 2 Reportedly Removed From tvN’s Summer Programming + tvN Responds

Season 2 of “Signal” has reportedly been removed from tvN’s summer programming.

On April 17, Korean news outlet OSEN reported that “The Second Signal,” the long-awaited second season of the hit 2016 drama “Signal,” had been pulled from its summer broadcast slot and would no longer be premiering in June as originally scheduled.

OSEN also reported that tvN had decided to air Apple TV+’s “Pachinko” instead of “The Second Signal.”

Later that morning, tvN responded to the reports by stating, “Nothing has yet been decided regarding the broadcasting of ‘The Second Signal.’”

The network also stated, “While it’s true that ‘Pachinko’ has been confirmed to air on tvN, the exact dates and time slot have not yet been decided.”

In December of last year, “The Second Signal” star Cho Jin Woong came under fire after he was revealed to have a juvenile criminal record from his school days. Disclosures also surfaced about incidents from his adulthood, including an assault-related dispute and a drunk driving record. Cho Jin Woong ultimately acknowledged responsibility and announced his retirement, leaving the future of “The Second Signal,” which had already completed filming in August, uncertain.

According to OSEN’s unconfirmed report, “The Second Signal” has not been definitively canceled. Instead, tvN is currently in the process of taking more time to consider its broadcast plans for the drama. As the series was originally intended to air this year to commemorate tvN’s 20th anniversary, the network is said to be discussing the possibility of a premiere sometime before the end of 2026.
