Teach You a Lesson has been a huge hit for Netflix! With fans already clamoring for a second season, we have an update on the renewal status for the series, with Netflix confirming that nothing has been decided as of yet, but director Hong Jong Chan is eager to return to direct a second season. Given the show’s success, it feels like it will only be a matter of time before renewal is confirmed. Here’s everything we know so far about the Teach You a Lesson season 2 on Netflix.
Teach You a Lesson is a South Korean Netflix Original action K-drama series, adapted from the popular webtoon Get Schooled by author Chae Yong Taek and illustrator Han Ga Ram. The series was directed by Hong Jong Chan (Juvenile Justice) and written by Lam Nam Gyu (Daily Dose of Sunshine).
When extreme youth violence collapses school discipline, the Ministry of Education forms the Educational Rights Protection Bureau. Its top supervisor, Na Hwa-jin, uses ruthless, unconventional methods to restore order. Tackling severe bullying and corruption, he uncovers a massive criminal syndicate, forcing him to go rogue to deliver true justice
Teach You a Lesson Season 2 Renewal Status
Official Renewal Status: Pending (Last Updated: 28/07/2026)
At the time of writing, Teach You a Lesson has not been renewed for a second season. However, we do have an update on what has been said about renewal. The series director, Hong Jong Chan, previously made a comment about the success of Teach You a Lesson and the possibility of a second season in an interview in South Korea:
“It doesn’t feel real to me. There are still many stories left to tell from the school setting. If it becomes even more successful, I’ll come back with season 2.”
His words sparked many online rumors that Netflix was in talks to renew the series for a second season, but a Netflix spokesperson clarified that “nothing has been decided.” So, while nothing has been decided yet, the series’ success cannot be ignored, and, given the director’s own words, a second season is very much possible.
Since the series was released on Netflix on June 5, 2026, it has spent the past 7 weeks in Netflix’s global Non-English Language top 10 list, spending 4 weeks at number 1 and amassing 618.9 million viewing hours, which equates to 57.8 million completed views.
