⇒ Hyena 2020 - Korea Drama - Season 1 (Complete Episode)

The intense K-drama from SBS was able to maintain decent ratings for each of its episodes very consistently and was met with many good reviews online. So there’s a high chance that the well-received show could be renewed for a second season.



Hyena is the latest addition to Netflix’s library of ever-growing South Korean content. The show tells the story of two top lawyers who only take cases from the elite, the top 1% of society. They go against each other to win their cases and will do unethical and downright illegal things to make the other one bite the dust. The name “hyena” is aptly given to the show as our two leads are at each other’s throats like the animal.

Hyena season 1 dropped on the streaming platform Netflix on February 21, 2020. While there is no official word on if a second season will be made, it is highly likely as the story in the show can go on for another season as the two lawyers engage in legal battles while being a couple.

Netflix can renew the show for a second season, as they do love making sequels upon sequels of shows that sometimes seems excessive. And with how much interest Netflix is showing in K-dramas, it won’t be surprising if the streaming giant announces Hyena’s second season. Shows usually receive a sequel a year later, so we can expect a renewal for Hyena in early 2021.
