The hit show's future hangs in the balance.

Last week, global audiences were captivated by the surprise premiere of the K-drama A Time Called You on Netflix. This thrilling series masterfully weaves romance, time travel, and classic drama, mesmerizing viewers with compelling plot twists and performances. The burning question now is whether Netflix will greenlight a second season.

As it stands, A Time Called You ranks among the most-watched shows on streaming platforms this September. While Netflix has remained tight-lipped about its viewership metrics, early indications suggest that the series might be in line for a prompt renewal..

Long Process

Given the series' surging popularity, Netflix executives and analysts will currently be considering a renewal. However, they're likely to deliberate for at least a month, assessing both the cumulative viewing hours and the total viewer count, before reaching a final decision.

Intriguingly, not all fans are keen to see new installments of A Time Called You, and here's why.

Story Well Concluded

The prevailing sentiment is that director Kim Jin-won conceived the show as a standalone miniseries. All major story arcs were masterfully concluded by the season finale, leaving little to no room for a follow-up season. Notably, the tape recording—central to the time travel mechanic—was obliterated in the final episode, rendering any future temporal adventures impossible.

Given the show's seamless closure, there's a genuine concern among fans that a subsequent season, motivated primarily by profit, might dilute its legacy.

However, should the creative team come up with a compelling narrative that incorporates a fresh time-travel element, fans would undoubtedly be on board for another thrilling ride.
