Will Bon Appétit, Your Majesty Get a Second Serving? Season 2 Renewal Status Explained

So, Bon Appetit, Your Majesty wrapped up and the ending left just enough open to make people wonder if we’re getting a Season 2. Short answer: nothing’s official, and the odds aren’t amazing, but it’s not impossible either.

So... is Season 2 happening?

Netflix hasn’t renewed or canceled the show. It was built as a limited series, which usually means one-and-done. That said, the series performed well, and success has a way of changing plans when streamers smell momentum.

• Status check: no renewal, no cancellation
• Designed as a limited series, so a second season isn’t the plan on paper
• The finale is intentionally ambiguous, which is why fans want closure
• Plenty of K-dramas stick to a single season, but viewers want more of Yeon Ji-yeong and the king’s story
• Given how well it’s done, Netflix could reconsider if the stars align
• All episodes are streaming on Netflix right now

What the lead says

Im Yoon-ah told Allkpop she’s been pleasantly shocked by how consistently strong the ratings have been and didn’t expect the response to be this big. On the ending, she said she’s happy with it and called it the kind of conclusion people dream about. As for more episodes, she hasn’t heard anything yet, but she’s game if there’s a story to tell and the whole cast can return.

'I haven’t heard anything about season 2 yet. If the story continues and all the actors can come back together, I would love to do it.'

Quick refresher if you’re curious what the fuss is about

This is a South Korean historical drama on Netflix starring Im Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-Min. The hook: Yeon Ji-yeong, a modern French cuisine chef, accidentally time-slips to the Joseon era and winds up cooking in the royal kitchen for the young monarch. He’s grieving his mother and quietly hunting the corrupt officials responsible. One tiny inside-baseball thing: the king’s name shows up as Lee Heon or Yi Heon depending on the romanization; same guy, different spelling.

Bottom line: no greenlight, no axe. Because it launched as a limited series, I wouldn’t hold my breath, but if the numbers stay strong and the cast is willing, Netflix could make the call. Until then, the whole season is sitting on Netflix if you want to dive in or argue about that ending with the rest of us.
