If you developed superpowers but had to spend money whenever you used them, how much would you be willing to spare? That’s the question at the heart of Cashero, a Korean action series available to stream on Netflix.
The question seems intriguing enough, as Cashero became the most-watched non-English show on the platform shortly after it premiered. With 6.1 million views this week, it’s also the #1 series in two countries. Does that mean we should expect a sequel?
Cashero Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t made any announcements surrounding a potential Cashero season 2. Plus, the title is listed as a limited series, and Korean productions are typically a one-and-done affair. In other words, it’s unlikely we’ll get more episodes.
That said, you never know. If the show becomes a global phenomenon, a follow-up might still happen. In that case, it could arrive in 2027.

What Is Cashero About?
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, Cashero follows Kang Sang-ung, an ordinary civil servant who dreams of getting married and buying a home with his fiancée Kim Min-suk.
His life takes a wild turn when he unexpectedly inherits superpowers. Turns out, his abilities grow stronger the more cash he physically holds. However, every time he uses them, money literally disappears from his pocket, creating a bizarre cost-for-heroism scenario.
Before long, his financial goals begin to clash with real-world heroics. As Sang-ung navigates this new life, he gets drawn into larger conflicts involving other superpowered individuals and shadowy organisations. How much is he willing to “pay” to help others? It’s a question that haunts again and again.
By the time the end credits roll on the show’s eight episodes, viewers are left with a sense of closure. There’s a big (and satisfying) final confrontation, as well as the hint of a new beginning for Sang-ung. While Cashero season 2 is unlikely, the first installment delivers plenty of action and humor for viewers keen to check out a superhero shows with a quirky power system.
