NME reported that AStory, one of the production companies behind Extraordinary Attorney Woo, said that there are plans to continue the show with Season 2.

On Aug. 17, AStory CEO Lee Sang-baek told South Korean media outlets about the renewal.

Here's what Lee said about the renewal of the show:

"Thanks to the support of many viewers, 'Attorney Woo' will return with season 2. We hope to air the second season some time in 2024. However, the process of adjusting the schedules of all of the cast members and crew will pose as a significant challenge. Nonetheless, we plan to proceed with season 2 without any cast member changes, or any changes to the production staff."

So, fans will have to wait until 2024, but note that Netflix hasn't officially confirmed a release date for Extraordinary Attorney Woo Season 2 yet. You can read more details about the upcoming season here.
