Fans can look forward to a mix of romantic and thriller dramas – not to mention gritty crime ones.
From “Gold Land” to “Perfect Crown”, here’s everything you need to know about the K-dramas set to dominate Disney+ this year.
A Shop For Killers Season 2

Set to debut later this year, prepare for more big-screen action and intensity.
Gold Land
“Gold Land” follows Heeju, a woman who manages to escape the sleepy backwater town she grew up in, only to find herself in a world of trouble after discovering a coffin full of gold.

Made In Korea Season 2
Set to hit the screens in late 2026, two of Korea’s iconic stars, Hyun Bin and Jung Woosung, are back for the second season of “Made In Korea”. After a dramatic first season that saw the corrupt KCIA powerhouse Baek Kitae repeatedly clash with the unyielding and tenacious prosecutor Jang Geonyoung, one unexpectedly came out on top. But with the victor now rapidly rising through the ranks, the series will reveal whether the loser accepts defeat or attempts to claw his way back into the ring.
