Baek Kitae (Hyun Bin), having framed the one prosecutor he couldn\u2019t buy, has risen to deputy director of the KCIA, growing his fortune and expanding his drug operations across the region. But as political turmoil spreads, his old nemesis Jang Geonyoung (Jung Woo-sung) steps out of the shadows to enact a carefully plotted revenge \u2014 with both men, as Disney puts it, prepared to \u201cbreak every rule and cross every line to eliminate the other once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe first season, which premiered in December 2025, introduced Kitae as an ambitious KCIA agent living a double life: government operative by day, smuggler by night, using his illicit empire to consolidate power, protect his brother and enrich the agency \u2014 until he collides with a prosecutor who couldn\u2019t be bought or bribed. Disney renewed the show for a second season before the first had even aired, and the series eventually ranked as the most-viewed Korean original premiere of 2025 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/disney\/\" id=\"auto-tag_disney_1\" data-tag=\"disney\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disney+<\/a> across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/asia\/\" id=\"auto-tag_asia_1\" data-tag=\"asia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Asia<\/a>-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe new season reunites the same core creative team. Park Eun-kyo, co-writer of Bong Joon Ho\u2019s Mother, again scripted every episode, with filmmaker Woo Min-ho, known for his political thrillers The Man Standing Next and Inside Men, returing to direct. Park is also in business with Disney as the writer of The Koreans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/hulu\/\" id=\"auto-tag_hulu_1\" data-tag=\"hulu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hulu<\/a> and Disney+\u2019s high-profile forthcoming local reimagining of FX\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-features\/disney-korean-remake-the-americans-lee-byung-hun-han-ji-min-1236546436\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Americans<\/a>.
