Gyeongseong Creature is not new to Netflix‘s catalog, but this week it premiered its second season and has once again achieved the same success as its first installment, being one of the most watched and acclaimed series.
The story is set in the spring of 1945 in Gyeongseong, during Japan’s rule over Korea, and follows two young people who face a strange creature born of greed, fighting against it for survival.
As expected, its great success has led the platform to consider it for a possible renewal. A third season has not yet been confirmed, but it seems to be only a matter of time. In the meantime, check out 10 similar titles…
