According to Netflix, Song Kang and Lee Jin-wook will be returning alongside Lee Si-young, Ko Min-si and Park Kyu-young.

The new cast members are Yoo Oh-seong, Oh Jung-se, Kim Moo-yeol and Jung Jin-young.

The new seasons will be helmed by director Lee Eung-bok to tell the unfinished story of the survivors of the Green Home apartment complex. In season 1, the residents are trapped in the apartment complex and surrounded by monsters. The "monsterization" of people begins to emerge amongst the survivors including Hyun-soo (played by Song Kang).

“Season 2 will include a new setting, and the technical details that we couldn’t refine in Season 1 will be further honed in Season 2,” said Lee Eung-bok, hinting at a wider franchise universe.

The original “Sweet Home” was released on Netflix in December 2020 and the series’ terrifying monsters and clever storytelling set a new benchmark in the creature feature genre.

“Sweet Home” won at the 2021 Asian Academy Creative Awards (AACA) and the 3rd Asia Contents Awards.
