Lol alright believe what you want not gonna fight you on it. When it has happened before and has happened always, what do you think is going to obviously happen this time? Have a great day :D
AStory, the Korean studio behind Kingdom, explained that creating a series directly for Netflix, where Netflix…
And this was back in 2022 and now in 2026 with not even a rumor on season 3 pretty much leaves the ending of season 2 as where the show will unfortunately end due to Netflix
AStory, the Korean studio behind Kingdom, explained that creating a series directly for Netflix, where Netflix owns the entire IP, is not financially worthwhile for them. This being because Netflix prevented the studio from monetizing Kingdom through additional avenues, like webtoon adaptations, musical productions, and other business deals, they have little incentive to continue the franchise b/c producing more Kingdom content such as season 3 would simply cost too much
Instead, AStory has shifted its focus to projects where it retains IP ownership, allowing it to generate sustainable revenue and remain financially stable which is the logical route for them. They noted that Korean studios typically rely on owning their IP in order to expand into secondary markets and long-term business opportunities. Without the IP of a project, the company has to depend on outsourced deals
While discussing another successful series they produced, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the studio pointed out that this is why they chose to air the show on a local Korean network first and only sell the international licensing rights to Netflix after. Looking at it from their view on the issue, pretty much a third season of Kingdom is almost entirely unlikely since they saw no real benefit in producing additional shows directly for Netflix when they could retain IP ownership and simply license their content instead

I never said that they have to so not sure where you saw me saying that, but it's pretty obvious that that is what is likely going to happen. It doesn't affect me on watching it so i don't think i need to grow up, just making a comment on the obvious ;D
Not too sure tbh, it hasn't been officially reported release in 2026 at least from what I have seen so far and it doesn't look like filming has started yet. Could be a bit more clarity on the release period when a broadcasting network picks it up or if more casting news comes out
