Ended on a High… But That Final Scene Has Fans Triggered for Season 2!

There’s one drama that fans won’t let go of—Disney+’s Trigger.

The 12-episode investigative thriller wrapped up its first season on February 19, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. From the start, Trigger captured attention with its premise: an investigative journalism team exposing the dark secrets of the powerful. The final episode delivered shocking revelations about actor Cha Seong-wook’s disappearance, tying up major storylines while leaving just enough mystery to set the stage for Season 2.

In the last two episodes, Oh So-ryong (Kim Hye-soo) and her Trigger team successfully exposed corruption within the Hanjoo Group and Jo Jin-man (Choi Dae-hoon). But just as viewers thought everything had been uncovered, an unexpected twist emerged—hinting that Jo Hae-won (Choo Ja-hyun), presumed dead, might still be alive. This cliffhanger has only fueled speculation and demand for a second season.

The possibility of Trigger Season 2 is already a hot topic. Director Yoo Seon-dong recently addressed the buzz in an interview, saying, "Just the fact that people are talking about Season 2 makes me grateful." While no official confirmation has been made, the show’s popularity suggests that a continuation is highly possible. Cast members Jung Sung-il and Joo Jong-hyuk have also expressed enthusiasm for a second season.

Kim Hye-soo’s Unmatched Performance Steals the Show

A major reason why Trigger resonated so deeply with audiences was Kim Hye-soo’s powerhouse performance. As fearless investigative journalist Oh So-ryong, she embodied relentless determination, bringing an intense yet charismatic presence to the role.

Throughout the season, Trigger tackled real-life social issues, including cult scandals, urban legends, stalking crimes, and corporate corruption. Kim Hye-soo’s portrayal of a journalist unwavering in her mission gave the drama a layer of authenticity, while her dynamic with the rest of the cast elevated the emotional weight of the series.

Beyond her individual performance, Kim Hye-soo also demonstrated exceptional chemistry with her co-stars. Rather than overpowering scenes, she adapted her intensity to complement the performances of Jung Sung-il, Joo Jong-hyuk, and others, enhancing the overall narrative flow. This balance is one of the reasons why audiences are eager to see her return for Season 2.

A Global Sensation with No Signs of Slowing Down

Trigger dominated Disney+ Korea’s viewership rankings throughout its run and also gained significant traction in international markets, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey, and the Netherlands. The show’s gripping storyline and fast-paced execution earned it high praise, with fans dubbing it a "God-tier drama" and "one of the best thrillers ever."

Given its immense popularity and the tantalizing open-ended finale, industry insiders speculate that Trigger Season 2 is all but inevitable. While Disney+ has yet to make an official announcement, the company’s push to expand its Korean content lineup makes a continuation highly probable.

Having perfectly delivered on its "strong start, even stronger finish" promise, Trigger Season 2—if greenlit—could take the story to even greater heights. Fans can only hope that an official confirmation comes sooner rather than later.
