Over a year and a half has passed since the disappearance of the “Friend” and Detective Taekrok is now a fresh transfer to the police force’s Women and Juveniles Unit.
However, before he could even settle into the role, a mysterious explosion tears through Geumo city.
Initially classified as an accident, Taekrok recognizes the explosion for what it is – murder–but the more he investigates, the deeper he plunges into an impossible labyrinth of lies and conspiracies.
“Shadow Detective” also stars Kyung Soo-jin as Lee Seonga, Lee Hakju as Son Gyeongchan, Jung Jinyoung as Choi Dohyung, and Kim Shinrock as Yeon Juhyun.
Season 2 will also mark the return of director Han Dongwha (“Navillera,” “Bad Guys”), and is produced by Studio Dragon.
“Shadow Detective” season two joins a rapidly expanding library of showstopping Korean content now available on Disney+.
Fans can sign up for Disney+ to enjoy instant access to “Shadow Detective” season one as well other Korean originals including “Big Bet” starring legendary actor Choi Minsik as a serial entrepreneur who repeatedly crosses the line to help bolster his burgeoning casino business; and “Big Mouth,” about a lawyer who is arrested as part of the murder case he is investigating.
