Netflix is yet to confirm whether My Name will return for a second season on the service, but there is reason to be optimistic that the show will continue.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday 20th October, the show has climbed to number four in the streamer\u2019s top 10 series chart in the UK, meaning it\u2019s already amassed a considerable audience just five days after release.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s particularly impressive as some international shows have struggled to find an audience over here, perhaps indicating that attitudes towards subtitled content are finally starting to shift.<\/p>\n
My Name has seen similar success abroad, reaching number six in the United States and number seven in India, with reaction from critics and viewers being largely positive.<\/p>\n
Netflix will most certainly be taking note, as the success of both Squid Game and My Name might well drive the company to invest more in South Korean television.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll update this page with confirmation of whether My Name has been renewed or cancelled as soon as it comes in. Watch this space.<\/p>
My Name season 2 cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n
My Name has proven to be another big success for star Han So-hee, playing the formidable Yoon Ji-woo, who joins the Dongcheon gang and later goes undercover in the police \u2013 all in an effort to avenge her father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
So-hee already had a fanbase from popular South Korean television shows The World of the Married and Nevertheless, so it stands to reason that Netflix would be keen to see her reprise her role in a potential second season.<\/p>\n
Ahn Bo-hyun and Kim Sang-ho could also return in My Name season two as Jeon Pil-do and Cha Gi-ho respectively, two key figures in the Inchang Metropolitan Police Agency\u2019s narcotics unit.<\/p>\n
Given how the first season ended, it\u2019s less likely we\u2019d see more from Park Hee-soon\u2019s crime boss Choi Mu-jin, although he could very well feature in flashback sequences.<\/p>\n
The cast of My Name season one also includes Lee Hak-joo as henchman Jung Tae-ju, Chang Ryul as former Dongcheon member Do Gang-jae and Yoon Kyung-ho as Ji-woo\u2019s ill-fated father, Yoon Dong-hoon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear where the story of My Name would go in a potential second season, as the first eight episodes brought Ji-woo\u2019s mission for vengeance to a relatively neat end.<\/p>\n
The epilogue sees her visit her parent\u2019s grave, having successfully waged a one-woman war against the crime boss Choi Mu-jin, meaning it\u2019s possible that writer Kim Ba-da will decide not to expand on the story any further.<\/p>\n
However, if Netflix feels the demand is strong enough, we wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see the story continue, perhaps giving Ji-woo an entirely new target to hunt down.<\/p>\n
My Name season 2 trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n
My Name is yet to be renewed for a second season so there\u2019s no trailer right now, but if the show does move ahead with more episodes, it\u2019s possible Netflix will upload an announcement video to their YouTube page.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll update this page with any fresh developments as they come in.<\/p>\n
