The script reading session for 'Family Plan' Season 2 has been unveiled, following the departure of actor Ryu Seung-bum. The late Lee Sun-kyun's wife, Jeon Hye-jin, steps in as the new villain for the season.
Coupang Play's series 'Family Plan' Season 2 follows the Yeong-su family as they move to a new city, hiding their past, and face a larger evil force, completing a hellish revenge to protect each other.
The script reading was attended by director and writer Kim Jung-min, along with main cast members Bae Doona, Baek Yoon-sik, Park Byung-eun, Lomon, and Lee Soo-hyun, as well as key production staff. The synergy of the 'family' from Season 1 brought a heightened sense of immersion, while the sharp performances of new cast members heated up the reading session.
Returning stars Bae Doona, Baek Yoon-sik, Lomon, and Lee Soo-hyun reunite as the 'family' to anchor the story. 'Brain hacker' mom 'Han Yeong-su' (Bae Doona) showcases her cold leadership, while 'Baek Kang-seong' (Baek Yoon-sik) continues his quirky yet solid presence. Their son 'Baek Ji-hoon' (Lomon) and daughter 'Baek Ji-woo' (Lee Soo-hyun) portray a more mature family bond. Adding to the tension is Park Byung-eun, joining as uncle 'Baek Cheol-yong', a new turning point for the Yeong-su family.
The new villain lineup for Season 2, including Park Ho-san, Jeon Hye-jin, Kang Ki-young, Baek Joo-hee, Shin Sung-min, and Lee Joong-ok, raises anticipation. These renowned actors form a formidable 'great evil' force, pressuring the Yeong-su family.
After the script reading, Bae Doona shared, “The new characters felt much scarier than in the first season.” Baek Yoon-sik expressed gratitude and joy at reuniting, while Lomon conveyed excitement and appreciation for the continued support of 'Family Plan'. Lee Soo-hyun noted the anticipation of working with familiar family and new actors. Newcomer Park Byung-eun expressed excitement about joining a series he found impressive and looks forward to creating new synergy.
'Family Plan' has been praised for its unique world-building, intense narrative, and elements of black comedy, receiving acclaim from both domestic and international audiences. Bae Doona's Best Actress award and the invitation to Europe's largest series festival, 'Series Mania Festival', have already proven its overwhelming quality. The new season promises an expanded world and intense character conflicts, offering a deeper narrative.
'Family Plan' Season 2 is currently filming and will premiere on Coupang Play in the second half of 2026.
