Lee Je Hoon, Kim Hye Soo, and Jo Jin Woong starrer detective drama Signal has been renewed for a new season after 8 years. Amid the heightened excitement, it has been revealed that all actors who appeared in the first season will return in Signal 2. Alongside writer Kim Eun Hee, the Night Owl director is set to helm the upcoming season.

Will Signal 2 have an all-original cast reunion?

On July 23, Signal’s screenwriter Kim Eun Hee’s husband Jang Han Jun appeared on an episode of the YouTube show Don’t Forget Your Breakfast. When host Jang Sung Kyu asked if the casting had been completed for Signal 2, the writer’s husband carefully answered that he had heard some things but couldn’t reveal them just yet.

But then he gave an insight into what to expect, saying, “Basically, all the original actors will be appearing.” With this revelation, it is safe to assume that all the cast members, at least the leads of Signal, will reprise their roles in the upcoming season 2.
