Netflix Renews Korean Medical Drama

Netflix has confirmed that the acclaimed Korean medical drama "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" will return for two additional seasons. Both seasons 2 and 3 are now in production, extending the gripping medical series.

The show's inaugural season, which premiered in 2025, achieved remarkable international popularity. It secured a spot in the Top 10 charts across 63 countries and claimed the number one position in 18 of them.

Key cast members are reprising their roles. Ju Ji-hoon returns as the determined surgeon Baek Kang-hyuk, known for his unwavering commitment to saving lives. Choo Young-woo is back as Baek's protégé, Yang Jae-won, who has followed in his mentor's footsteps onto the trauma team.

Further returning cast includes Yoon Kyung-ho as Han Yu-rim, now a trusted partner heading hospital planning, and Jeong Jae-kwang as anesthesiologist Park Gyeong-won. Newcomer Jeong Ye-in joins as nurse Cheon Jang-mi after a rigorous audition process.

Lee Do-yun, who directed the first season, is also the writer for the upcoming installments. The series is an adaptation of the webtoon "Trauma Center: Golden Hour." Studio N and Mays Entertainment are producing, with Netflix presenting the exclusive streaming rights.

While premiere dates for the new seasons have not been announced, both will stream globally on Netflix. Notably, Jeong Jae-kwang also appears in the recently released romance series "Take Charge of My Heart," and Yoon Kyung-ho is part of the cast of the upcoming horror series "Dead-End Job."
