Based on the popular webtoon of the same name by Lee Dong-gun, the first season chronicles the life of ordinary office worker Kim Yumi, played by Kim Go-eun, with the story told from the perspective of her brain cells, who dictate her thoughts, feelings and actions.

Yumi’s “love cells” fall into a coma after a failed relationship and her brain cells try to wake up her unconscious cells through a relationship with the straightforward game developer Goo Woong, played by Ahn Bo-hyun.

According to the show’s writer Song Jae-jung, the second season of Yumi’s Cells will focus on the relationship of the drama’s heroine and her co-worker Yoo Ba-bi, played by GOT7’s Jinyoung.

Production on the second season of Yumi’s Cells finished in December 2021, with the staff and its cast posting behind-the-scenes images on set. As fans wait in anticipation for its premiere, we gathered what we know so far about the upcoming K-drama.

When will Yumi’s Cells season 2 be released?

In April 2021, director Lee Sang-yeob mentioned that Yumi’s Cells will be a multiple-season drama.

After the first season ended last October, members of the cast confirmed the second season in a goodbye clip. In it, lead actress Kim Go-eun revealed that they were filming season two and asked viewers to “stay with us”. The production continued into the holidays, wrapping up their shooting on December 30.

While filming on Yumi’s Cells season 2 has concluded, details of its release date have yet to be announced.

Who are the new faces to watch out for in this new installment?

Apart from the lead cast and their host of lovable cells voiced by prominent names in the Korean entertainment industry, Yumi’s Cells season 2 will also welcome new faces in their lineup.
