More about Signal Season 2
First aired in 2016, Signal chronicles the journey of a team of police detectives utilizing a mysterious radio that communicates across time to crack unsolved cases. Discussions about a new season arose due to the mysterious conclusion of its final episode, hinting at future stories.
Signal received acclaim, winning Best Drama at the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards, lauded for its consistent high quality and standout performances by lead actors Lee Je Hoon, Jo Jin Woong, Kim Hye Soo, and others.
Interestingly, Signal is based on real-life crimes from Gyeonggi province: the 1997 Park Chorong Bitnari kidnapping case and the notorious Hwaseong serial murders spanning from 1986 to 1994, which remained unsolved for many years. The show's creators emphasized these chilling events as a tribute to the victims and an emotional reminder to the public never to forget the past tragedies.
