If you’re craving a legal drama with a twist, Phantom Lawyer might be just what the doctor ordered. The Korean series, available on Netflix, dabbles in the paranormal, which instantly elevates its case-of-week formula.
Viewers seem to agree. Despite only four episodes streaming so far, Phantom Lawyer is already one of the most-watched non-English shows on the platform. With 1.8 million views last week, it made the Top 10 in eight countries. Could that mean it will go on for years to come?
Phantom Lawyer Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official information about a potential Phantom Lawyer season 2. While K-dramas are often one-and-done, the show’s premise could definitely stretch over multiple installments.

What Is Phantom Lawyer About?
A legal fantasy K-drama, Phantom Lawyer follows a struggling attorney whose life takes a bizarre turn after he opens a law office in an unusual space.
Once there, he develops the ability to see ghosts, and even allow them to possess him. Instead of running away, he takes on unusual clients in the form of restless spirits with unfinished business. Alongside a sharp, ambitious fellow lawyer, he sets out to deliver justice for the dead.
Each episode introduces new cases. A victim of injustice wants their story told, or a wrongfully accused person seeks posthumous redemption. It’s up to the lawyer to get to the bottom of what really happened and provide families with closure.
A blend of courtroom drama and supernatural mystery, the series is a fun watch thanks to its comedic elements. While the topics explored are serious, seeing the main character interact with spirits will likely cause giggles. Additionally, the protagonist is easy to root for, so you’ll get invested in no time.
While it’s a bit too early to speculate about Phantom Lawyer season 2, the story so far is promising, and viewership numbers are strong. Until we hear some news either way, episodes drop weekly on Netflix.
