Goblin Season 2 (2025): Latest News and Rumors

Why the Hype for Goblin Season 2 is Real: Latest News and Exciting Updates

Goblin: The Lonely and Great God, which aired in 2016, remains the most beloved and debated K-drama in Korean television history. Goblin, with its compelling plot, stunning visuals, and impeccable performances from the likes of Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun, Lee Dong-wook, and Yoo In-na, left a major mark on viewers.

Even though it has a nicely tied-up ending, Goblin Season 2 rumors have been flying around for years. Fan speculation has been intensifying recently based on online debate, concept trailers and intentional miscommunication by members of the cast and crew.

But is there hope for a Goblin return? Let’s break down the updates from fans and what we can expect from a possible second season.

Goblin Season 2: Rumors vs. Reality – What We Know So Far

Goblin wrapped up with a perfect but a bit sad ending in 2017, yet many fans were wishing for a second season. Here’s what’s been driving the speculation:

Purported plot leaks, fake trailers, and fan theories

A concept trailer uploaded by the YouTube channel Latino Official generated 1.5 million views within two years, triggering fans excitements. Other videos and edits on TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube keep the conversation going and made even Goblin a topic even years after it first aired.

The Success of Other Fantasy Kdrama

With the huge success of fantasy dramas like Alchemy of Souls and Tale of the Nine-Tailed, there is a high demand for supernatural romance series. If tvN sees sufficient opportunity, they could think about a Goblin season 2 or a spin-off.

Why Some Fans Are Hesitant About Goblin Season 2

But not everyone is excited about the prospect of more Goblin. Conversations on Reddit and other forums touch on why some fans think a second season might not be a good thing:

Himbritarded said “While it would be nice fan service, I hope they don’t launch a season 2. It ended perfectly for me, Other dramas sometimes get extensions (obviously too late for Goblin) but the extensions typically do nothing but slow down the story. I just hope the great rating result in more dramas similar in quality. We don’t need more Goblin, we need more dramas like Goblin.”

Timelady said: I wish there was a season 2, because that ending was a little too bittersweet for me. The majority of Asian dramas are all about tragic or open for interpretation type endings. That’s why I get so happy when they come out with a happy love story were they live happily ever after.

Will the Original Cast Return for Goblin Season 2

If Goblin gets a second season, fans will no doubt want to see the original cast return. Here is a rundown of the major players and their potential return:

Gong Yoo (He who is Kim Shin / Goblin): He has said he’s cautious about sequels, but if there is a suitable script, who knows.
Kim Go-eun (Ji Eun-tak): She’s still busy doing K-drama, and a good story could persuade her to return.
Lee Dong-wook (Grim Reaper): He’s always seemed to no matter the role, and this fantasy stuff seems to fit him perfectly, so I could see him being a big deal in Season 2.
Yoo In-na (Sunny): If Grim Reaper appears, fans would want her back.

One potential catch was whether the actors’ schedules would permit a reunion.

Could a Goblin Spin-Off Be in the Works Instead of Season 2?

If a proper second season isn’t feasible, a spin-off seems like a pretty good alternative. The follow up ideas below were taunted:

The Grim Reaper’s Past — Reflections on his time as a king, his regrets and redemption.
A New Goblin — A new character inherits the curse of the Goblin.
Heaven’s Bureaucracy – A drama set in the world of deities, grim reapers and supernatural beings.

Goblin Season 2: Will It Finally Happen?

Currently, Goblin Season 2 has no official announcement. But that continued fan demand, viral content, and the overall popularity of supernatural K-dramas does leave the door open for a revival, if only an unlikely one.

While some fans think that the story should never be touched again, others also feel that there is enough material out there to explore the spectacular crafted world of Goblin. Direct sequel, spin-off, special episode — it goes without saying that Goblin is one of the most beloved K-dramas of all time.
