After a Joseon-era villain is sentenced to die, she miraculously wakes up in modern-day Seoul. That’s the premise of the latest fantasy rom-com charming audiences worldwide.
With 3.9 million views this week, My Royal Nemesis is the most-watched non-English show on Netflix. It’s also the top show in four countries. Does that mean a follow-up might be in the works? Here’s what we know so far.
My Royal Nemesis Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news about a potential My Royal Nemesis season 2. The title is listed as a limited series on Netflix, and Korean shows don’t always have follow-ups.
In other words, it looks like 14 episodes is all we’re going to get.

What Is My Royal Nemesis About?
The series revolves around Kang Dan-shim, a Joseon-era royal concubine. She is ambitious and has ruthless survival instincts. After being sentenced to death, she drinks poison during a solar eclipse. The twist? Dan-shim then wakes up in modern-day Seoul, 300 years later.
Her soul has somehow entered the body of Shin Seo-ri, a struggling actress. Completely out of place in the 21st century, Dan-shim must navigate modern society after discovering that history remembers her as a villain. Not only that, but her name was nearly erased from official records.
Determined to rewrite her fate, she sets her sights on powerful chaebol heir Cha Se-gye, who may be the key to her second chance. What begins as a chaotic enemies-to-lovers dynamic slowly evolves into much more.
While My Royal Nemesis season 2 is unlikely, the show is still ongoing, so there’s a lot more story to look forward to. You can catch double episodes weekly on Netflix. Can someone labeled a “villain” change their destiny? We recommend tuning in to find out.
