Apple TV+ knocked it out of the park with the first season of Pachinko, and the second chapter of this story is just around the corner. The streaming giant dropped a new trailer for Season 2, which takes place in the wake of World War II.
Pachinko is based on Min Jin Lee’s novel of the same name, and it tells a sweeping and deeply moving story of the love and survival of a Korean family across four generations.
Season 2 will see the Baek family experiencing the ripple effect of World War II, as forbidden love, resilience, and moral dilemmas define their journey.
“In season two, the parallel stories pick up in Osaka in 1945, where Sunja is forced to make dangerous decisions for her family’s survival during World War II, and in Tokyo in 1989, which finds Solomon exploring new, humble beginnings,” reads the show’s official logline.
Youn Yuh-jung and Kim Min-ha lead the cast of Pachinko as two different versions of the family matriarch Sunja. Jin Ha, Han Jun-woo, Jeong In-ji as Yangjin, Jung Eun-chae, Lee Min-ho, Kaho Minami, Noh Sang-hyun, and Anna Sawai also star.
Season 2 of Pachinko will return to Apple TV+ on August 23 with eight brand-new episodes.
