tvN Denies 'Second Signal' November Air Date Reports

tvN has officially denied speculation that the highly anticipated drama 'Second Signal' will premiere in November. Reports had suggested the show, a follow-up to the acclaimed 2016 series 'Signal,' was slated for a November 30th broadcast, with lead actor Jo Jin-woong reportedly appearing without edits.

However, a tvN representative stated on May 30th that "nothing has been confirmed" regarding 'Second Signal.' The drama, intended as a 20th-anniversary project for tvN, was originally scheduled to air this year. It picks up ten years after the original series, which followed detectives communicating across time via walkie-talkies to solve cold cases.

Regarding 'Second Signal,' nothing has been confirmed yet.

The production faced an indefinite delay after lead actor Jo Jin-woong, who played Detective Lee Jae-han, retired from the entertainment industry in December following the revelation of a past crime committed during his high school years. At the time of his retirement, tvN had pledged to "make every effort to find the best solution for the work and the viewers, even if it takes some time, to protect the value of 'Signal.'" As of now, no definitive decisions on the drama's future have been announced.
