The South Korean series, Sweet Home (Korean: 스위트홈; RR: Seuwiteuhom) is based on a Naverwebtoon of the same name by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan. Sweet Home is produced by Studio Dragon, who made several other, popular K-Dramas such as My Holo Love, Love Alarm, Arthdal Chronicles and Crash Landing on You. Sweet Home Season 2 will continue from the conclusion of the first season.

The story follows Cha Hyun-soo (Song Kang), who leaves his home and moves into an apartment after an unexpected family tragedy. But after a few days he found, the people inside the apartment are trapped by the monsters. Monsters begin trying to wipe out humanity. Cha Hyun-soo and other residents shield themselves inside the building in hopes of surviving as long as they could.

Season 1 ends by showing Cha Hyun-soo’s awakening in the military van. The military decides the survivors will be transferred to a safe camp as well as the infected should surrender. But what will happen to the rest of the people who are locked inside the building? Lee Eun-hyuk (Lee Do-hyun) is buried under the rubble of the apartment block. It is a big question whether he is alive.

As for the release dates of Sweet Home Seasons 2 and 3, as the production for both seasons has already started, fans can see season 2 premiering sometime in early 2023 and season 3 at the end of the same year.
