'The shopping mall of killers' will return after two years.

Director Lee Kwon, actors Lee Dong-wook, and Kim Hye-jun told the story of Season 2 of the 'Disney+ Original Preview 2025' held at the Cinderella Ballroom of the Disneyland Hotel Conference Center in Hong Kong on the 13th.

First, the appearance of actors who were together in season 1 inspires fans' cheers. Lee Dong-wook, who maximized mystery and gave amazing action throughout the play, plays Jinman, a suspicious uncle and former mercenary who created 'Mother Help', showing the deep amplitude of emotions amid the character's spectacular growth, as well as Kim Hye-joon, who was loved for his unique uncle and nephew chemistry with actor Lee Dong-wook, returns as Jian.

Back in season 1, coach Lee Kwon said, `I thought it would go well, but I didn't think it would go this well.' Lee Dong-wook laughed, `I'm glad it went this well and came to season 2.'

Kim Hye-jun said "It's been fun since I saw the script, and thank you for loving me like this."

As for the last ending of season 1, Lee Dong-wook said, 'It was important to act well because it was a big device in our work. I think they'll talk about why we did that in Season 2" he forewarned.




Responding to the response that he was glad to appear in Season 2, director Lee said, 'I'm satisfied that I have an opportunity to explain the ending of Season 1.' and Kim Hye-joon said, 'I liked it too, but there was a part of Season 1 that I didn't know, so I wondered how it would be solved. He confessed, "I had both good and burdens at the same time."

Lee Dong-wook hoped that `Season 1 was so loved that it would be as loved as it is, or even more.'

There are also expectations for season 3. Director Lee said "I think it's an answer that we should think about when season 2 goes well " and Lee Dong-wook said "It's not a matter of our own decision, but it's important what Disney+ people behind us think about it "




New actors joining season 2 are also interested. Hyun-ri, who received attention for 'Pachinko', will join Babylon East Asian branch mercenary team leader Q and Okada Masaki of 'Drive Micah' as Babylon East Asian branch mercenary co-team leader and Q's younger brother Jay.

Manager Lee said, `Season 1 happened for a day. The true nature of the unexposed organization becomes known in season 2. It has been set up as a global organization called Babylon, and Masaki Okada and Hyunri are siblings sent from Japan. Both are mercenaries working for Babylon. I have a good relationship with Jinman of the past. Ironically, the story takes place when he comes to catch Jinman," he said, foreshadowing the second season.

Disney+ Original Series 'Killer's Shopping Mall Season 2' is scheduled to be released in 2026.
