Trigger is a gripping K-drama which released on July 25, 2025.
From episode 1, the show puts all of its viewers in a dystopian South Korea where there is an illegal trade in guns because guns are banned in the country. But with the season ending with a cliffhanger finale, one thing on everyone's mind is whether season 2 is going to happen.

As of now, Netflix has neither confirmed Trigger Season 2 nor canceled it. The first season ended on an exciting note that led to questions about state espionage, morality breakdowns, and institutional breakdowns. Fans are now wondering whether the creators will pick up where they left off or if Trigger's mystery will remain unsolved.
Netflix has not confirmed Trigger Season 2 yet
Until now, season 2 has not been announced officially either by Netflix or the show's crew. In spite of all the build-up and excitement when the series was initially dropped, no renewal announcement has been made. K-drama fans are all too familiar with this; loads of shows get renewed months after their initial season. But in the case of the show, total silence from everyone has occurred.
This non-denial is not a cancellation of Trigger. Instead, it leaves the series in a comfortable gray area between audience expectation and industry vagueness.
Korean dramas usually run for only one season, especially if they are limited series. But recently, most shows have bucked that trend in light of overseas streaming success. Trigger has a special position with its own-time narrative and dramatic, slow-burning build-up, but once again, not renewed doesn't always mean canceled.
Trigger might get renewed if the makers see considerable interest. Netflix has not released any performance statistics that could have helped determine whether the show could get another season.
How did Trigger Season 1 end?
The season finale of Trigger left viewers with more questions than answers. Lee Do and Moon Baek were at a crossroads, the moral stakes and political tensions building up to a tightrope climax. The show, surprisingly, did not tie up all loose ends, and this open format is fueling speculation about a season 2.
Most of the critics stated that the series' end was a push pause, rather than an ending, but since no confirmation regarding season 2 has been made, it is hard to comprehend the creative decision for certain.
What is Netflix's track record with Korean Drama renewals
Netflix has been inconsistent with Korean dramas. Though most are still limited series, some, such as Sweet Home, Squid Game, and D.P., got multi-season orders due to international popularity and streaming success.
All of that being mentioned, all K-dramas are handled differently depending on genre, budget, and viewership demand. Trigger is a slow-burning political thriller, which may be a niche genre to international audiences. That might affect its chances of renewal unless it meets Netflix's internal success criteria.
In summary, Season 2 has not been renewed, but neither has it been canceled. The producers, actors, and Netflix have made no official statements regarding the future of the show. Until this is announced, the destiny of the show cannot be known.
