Hit Netflix series The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call will possibly be returning with Seasons 2 and 3.
On June 22, a media outlet reported that the Netflix original The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is set to begin filming its next installment in October.
In response, a Netflix representative told Ilgan Sports, "We are positively discussing the production of next season(s) of The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, but nothing has been confirmed yet. We will provide further updates later when the specific details have been decided."
