In an interview with Soompi, the lead actor Song Joong-ki who became highly popular for his antihero role in the series commented on Vincenzo Season 2.
“There are no discussions about season two at all. I’m thankful that there seem to be many people who want it. It is unlikely that there will be any internal discussions about season two in the future,” said the handsome actor.
As of now, the Netflix K-drama hasn’t been renewed yet. Besides, the concluding episode left no cliffhanger to be solved in Vincenzo Season 2. The story revolves around an Italian lawyer, Vincenzo Cassano (played by Song Joong-ki) who also happens to be a Mafia consigliere. After a major conflict in his organization, Vincenzo flees to Korea with his childhood name Park Joo-Hyung and encounters Hong Cha-Young, a female lawyer played by Jeon Yeo-Bin. Park Joo-Hyung is originally from Korea but comes to Italy at age 8 after being adopted by an Italian family. Later, he would become a lawyer and Mafia consigliere by the name of Vincenzo Cassano.
