'Pachinko' Faces Uncertain Future Despite Critical Acclaim

Soo Hugh, the creator of the Apple TV+ series, hopes for renewal as the show concludes its second season with growing storylines and character depth.

The second season of 'Pachinko' has received positive reviews but struggles with viewership, which may affect its renewal prospects.
Showrunner Soo Hugh aims to continue the series for up to two more seasons, focusing on further developing characters and storylines from the book.
The series explores complex themes of identity and history through a multigenerational Korean family living in Japan, with an emphasis on diverse storytelling.
Hugh highlights the challenges of producing a show with subtitles in a market that often prefers English-language content.
Plans for future seasons include expanding on characters and narratives that have yet to be fully explored, staying true to Min Jin Lee's novel while adapting it for television.
