With Netflix’s vast library of high-quality crime thrillers, it’s natural to wonder if the platform will invest in a second season. However, the show’s popularity in Taiwan and other regional markets makes it a strong candidate for renewal.
Moreover, the fact that the show is adapted from the work of Miyuki Miyabe, whose catalog has already been widely translated into film and TV, adds to its potential for renewal.
