Disney+ Renewed for Season 2: All the Latest Updates on ‘Moving’

On September 17, 2024, Korean media outlets Herald Economy and Namdo News reported that Disney+ is currently in talks with Kang Full, the creator of Moving, regarding the production of a potential second season. Disney+ has shown substantial interest in advancing this project, with discussions focused on finalizing essential details.

The Disney+ original web series quickly became the most successful series on Disney+ Korea since its debut, enchanting viewers with its character-driven storyline and spectacular action sequences.

In its first week of release, Moving set new viewership records across the Asia-Pacific region, achieving significant milestones in major markets including Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other parts of Southeast Asia. The series also ranked as the most-watched Korean original series on Disney+ globally, based on streaming hours.

Insights on Moving Season 2 Speculations

The anticipated second season of the series is generating significant excitement, particularly due to the remarkable success of the first season. While specific details about the new season are yet to be disclosed, there is ongoing speculation regarding its potential storyline.

This original series is part of a broader narrative universe crafted by Kang Full, which also includes titles like Apartment, Timing, Again, and Bridge. Each story revolves around characters endowed with superhuman abilities, apprehensively raised and exploited by the government for its own gain. These characters frequently intersect throughout the series, forming a complex, shared universe of intertwined lives and conflicts.

Moving is the fourth chapter in this saga, preceding Bridge, the fifth installment, which explores the backstories of characters featured in Timing, Again, and Moving, effectively expanding the interconnected universe.

However, despite the possibility to broaden the universe, Kang Full has expressed apprehensions about moving forward with Bridge. As none of the previous chapters have been adapted for the screen, launching Bridge could confuse viewers who are not familiar with the backstories from the earlier installments.

If Kang Full opts to ground season 2 in the first chapter, Timing, it could lead to the beloved original cast taking a backseat, as none of the characters from Moving appear in Timing.

Meanwhile, fans of the webtoon series are eagerly looking forward to Hidden, the upcoming anticipated addition to this captivating and intricate universe.

Herald Economy and Namdo News have also reported that Disney+ is planning to invest over 50 billion won into the production of Moving Season 2, marking it as the platform’s largest commitment to Korean content to date.

Additionally, they have indicated that Disney+ is dedicated to upholding the high production standards of the first season to ensure that the sequel aligns with fan expectations. This financial investment underscores Disney+’s intent to position the original series as a flagship for its Korean offerings.
