Renewed Or Cancelled?
Extraordinary Attorney Woo is an extraordinarily well written drama, blending social issues around autism with a simple but effective law drama. If you’ve been following this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled.
What is Extraordinary Attorney Woo Season 1 about?
Extraordinary Attorney Woo centers on Woo Young-Woo, who happens to be an extremely smart woman who has autism spectrum disorder. She never forgets what she sees but has a lack of social skills. She begins working as a trainee lawyer at a large law firm. She faces prejudice and irrationality against her from her peers and through the different cases she takes on, although she also approaches them with a fresh perspective that puts her a step above her peers. As she solves cases with her own unique ways, helped in so small part by her obsession with whales, Woo Young-Woo more than shows what she’s capable of.
Has Extraordinary Attorney Woo been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Netflix and ENA have renewed Extraordinary Attorney Woo for season 2! Given the ratings over the weeks and how explosively this has skyrocketed in popularity, that’s perhaps not surprising. The ratings began with a rather modest 0.9% share nationwide but since then, the show has absolutely exploded and hit double figures on some weeks. This massive rise in ratings, alongside the fact that this sort of drama is episodic by nature, has bucked the trend of K-dramas reserved to a single season. There are also offers to remake this in both the US and Japan, although we’d imagine both will absolutely fail to capture the same brilliance as the original. You can read NME’s article on this HERE!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 right now. Given how strong the ratings are for Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the episodic nature of this law drama could see more cases come to the foreground, along with potential enhancement of the character drama for Woo and her colleagues. For now though, we’ll just have to wait and see what’s in store for us next time! Would you like to see Extraordinary Attorney Woo return for a second season?
