Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for the highly-anticipated second season of “Pachinko,” the award-winning drama series from creator and executive producer Soo Hugh.
The eight-episode season, filmed in three languages (Korean, Japanese, and English), will premiere globally on August 23rd. New episodes will be released weekly every Friday until October 11th.
The trailer features a moving cover of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” by global K-pop star Rosé of BLACKPINK. The cover serves as both the trailer anthem and the song featured in the season finale.
Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, “Pachinko” is a sprawling saga of love and resilience across four generations, following the life of Sunja, a remarkable matriarch. Season two picks up with parallel storylines: Sunja navigating the challenges of World War II in 1945 Osaka, and Solomon forging a new path in 1989 Tokyo.
The first season garnered critical acclaim, receiving 11 international awards including a Peabody Award and an American Film Institute Award. Season two features a star-studded cast including Lee Minho, Yuh-Jung Youn, Minha Kim, and Jin Ha.
Produced by Media Res for Apple TV+, “Pachinko” is executive produced by Soo Hugh, Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer of Media Res, and Theresa Kang of Blue Marble Pictures. Leanne Welham, Arvin Chen, and Sang-il Lee take the helm as directors for season two.
