Moving, the 2023 Korean superhero drama that became Disney+'s most-viewed K-original series, is officially shooting its second season. Kang Full returns as writer, Kingdom's Kim Sung Hoon directs, and the core cast — Han Hyo-joo, Jo In-sung, Go Youn-jung — are confirmed back.
When Kang Full's Moving dropped on Disney+ in August 2023, it became the platform's biggest Korean-original launch by a wide margin — outperforming established hits like Snowdrop and Big Bet within its first month, and ranking as the most-watched Asia-Pacific original Disney has ever produced. The series adapted Kang's own webtoon about Korean teenagers discovering their superpowered lineage during their high-school years, intercut with their parents' Cold War-era origin stories. Disney+ officially confirmed Season 2 development at a press conference in Singapore in November 2024; production is now formally underway with a 2026 target.
Kang Full has returned as showrunner and lead writer — a rarity for Korean television, where Season 2 frequently shifts to fresh creative teams. Kingdom's Kim Sung Hoon takes over directing duties, replacing Park In-je from Season 1. Kim's Kingdom work (Netflix, 2019–2021) established him as one of Korea's most cinematically ambitious genre directors, and the appointment signals that Disney+ is investing more visual scale into Season 2.
The returning cast confirmed so far includes Han Hyo-joo, Jo In-sung, Go Youn-jung, and Kim Do Hoon. Sul Kyung-gu — the veteran Public Enemy and Memoir of a Murderer actor — has been added to the new ensemble. Korean trade reports indicate that several Season 1 cast members whose characters did not survive will not reprise, while several new powered families are expected to be introduced.
The international success of Moving is significant within the broader landscape of comic-book cinema. The series demonstrated that non-English-language superhero storytelling can compete commercially at scale when delivered through major streaming infrastructure. Korean comic-book adaptations are an underdeveloped territory — most international comic-book cinema attention focuses on Bollywood (Krrish, Ra.One) or Japanese manga adaptations. Kang Full's webtoon-to-screen pipeline at Studio N has been Korea's most successful comic-to-live-action engine of the past decade.

Moving's Season 2 success could substantially expand Disney+'s appetite for further international superhero productions, with reports suggesting a Chinese-language original is in early development at the same studio.
