If Wishes Could Kill Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news about a potential If Wishes Could Kill season 2. The title is listed as a limited series on Netflix, and Korean shows are often one-season affairs.
That said, it could happen. There is room for more story, and the director seems eager to continue. The show becoming a global phenomenon would definitely help. For now, however, it doesn’t look too promising.
