Sweet Home season 3 confirmed for a summer 2024 release: Here’s everything we know

There’s no denying that Sweet Home is one of the best Korean shows streaming on Netflix. After a painfully long wait, the highly anticipated second season was finally released on the streaming platform on Dec. 1. Of course, it didn’t take long for fans to watch the shortened eight-episode season, and now they’re wondering about a third installment.

Well, we have great news to share! Netflix has already confirmed Sweet Home season 3. The renewal announcement came back in June 2022. Netflix had renewed the hit fantasy horror series for not only a second season but a third season as well.

We also have even more good news to share. Now, we don’t have the official release date for Sweet Home season 3 just yet, which makes sense since the second season was just recently released. But we do know that the third season has been confirmed to be coming to Netflix in summer 2024. This juicy release information was revealed during the season 2 finale credits.

We’ll continue to update this space as more information comes out about the upcoming season. But for now, here’s everything we know so far about Sweet Home season 3.

Spoilers ahead from Sweet Home season 2. 

The cast and crew shot seasons 2 and 3 back to back with season 1 director Lee Eung-bok signed on to direct both seasons. According to Sweet Home cast member Go Min-si, who plays Eun-yoo, it took over a year to film both seasons 2 and 3. She commemorated wrap day by sharing a trio of pictures on her Instagram on March 10, 2023. So, it looks like the cameras stopped rolling on the third season in March 2023.

Unfortunately, the season 3 cast list has not been revealed yet. However, we have an idea of who could return based on how things ended in the second season. Obviously, Song Kang (Hyun-soo) will be returning since he plays the main character. Lee Jin-wook (Sang-wook/Ui-myeong/Sang-won) and Go Min-si (Eun-yoo) will likely return as well since they survive the second season.

Kim Hee-jung (Cha Jin-ok), Choi Go (Kim Yeong-soo), Yu Oh-seong (Sergeant Tak), Oh Jung-se (Dr. Lim), Jung Jin-young (Park Chan-young), Kim Shin-rok (Chief Ji), Yoon Se-ah (Seon-hwa), Yang Hye-ji (Ye-seul), Kim Si-a (Seo Yi-kyung’s child), Hyun Bong-sik (Ho-sang), and Chae Won-bin (Hani) also survived the second season so they’ll probably be back too.

Kim Mu-yeol’s character, Sergeant Kim, fate is left up in the air at the end of season 2, so it’s unclear if he’ll return. However, Lee Do-hyun will likely return as Lee Eun-hyuk in season 3 since he’s revealed to still be alive at the end of season 2.

As we find out more cast information, we’ll be sure to share it here.

Here are some important things that happen in the Sweet Home season 2 finale:

With how season 2 ended, there’s so many ways Sweet Home season 3 could go. Once we find out the official synopsis for the third season, we’ll make sure to share it right away.

Since Sweet Home season 3 is confirmed to be coming to Netflix in the summer of 2024, that means we could see the new season somewhere between June 20, 2024, and Sept. 22, 2024.

Obviously, we’d want to see the third season sooner rather than later. So, we’re hoping for a June or July release. However, there’s a chance we might not see season 3 until September 2024 since previous seasons have come out towards the end of the year. Netflix might want to keep up with this release pattern. We’ll let you know the official release date once it’s announced.
