SBS's hit seasonal drama 'Flex x Cop' is set to return with Season 2 in 2026. Director Kim Jae-hong and writer Kim Ba-da, who led the first season, are reuniting for the new installment, with actors A-hn Bo-hyun and Jeong Chae-yeon confirmed to star, amplifying anticipation.
'Flex x Cop 2' will continue to follow the thrilling investigative story of a carefree chaebol third-generation heir who becomes a detective. The series, which garnered a strong fandom with its unique world centered around 'money for money, connections for connections,' quickly confirmed its Season 2 production after the first season's conclusion.
In Season 2, Jin Yi-soo (played by A-hn Bo-hyun), the chaebol heir who completed his official training at the police academy, returns to the Violent Crimes Unit 1. Furthermore, Joo Hye-ra (played by Jeong Chae-yeon), the formidable instructor who rigorously trained Jin Yi-soo during his academy days, will be appointed as the new team leader, promising an exciting cooperative storyline.
A-hn Bo-hyun will reprise his role as the playful chaebol third-generation detective Jin Yi-soo, utilizing his family's vast wealth, connections, sharp intellect, and various activity skills to apprehend criminals.

Attention is focused on how he will showcase his charm in Season 2.
Actress Jeong Chae-yeon joins as Jin Yi-soo's new partner, Joo Hye-ra. A former ace of the National Police Agency's counter-terrorism team, Joo Hye-ra volunteers to lead the Gangha-seo Violent Crimes Unit 1, becoming Jin Yi-soo's direct superior. The intriguing chemistry between the two, who were once the 'demon instructor' and the 'problematic detective,' is expected to be a key highlight.
The production team of 'Flex x Cop' stated, "We are diligently preparing to deliver an even more fun and thrilling Season 2 to repay the love you've shown for Season 1.
