Netflix's As You Stood By has gained both critical acclaim and audience appreciation after its release on November 7, 2025.

As the last episode of the psychological thriller ended, viewers have been wanting more. The story still has some loose ends, thereby inviting speculation over a new season.

While the studio has not announced a renewal, As You Stood By Season 2 may happen if the makers can lock in the cast's dates and if it is commercially viable.

As You Stoody By is directed by Lee Jeong-rim, while the script is by Kim Hyo-jeong. The series explores abusive relationships with empathy. It revolves around two women (Eun-su and Hui-su) who muster the courage to take matters into their own hands in order to escape abuse.

The synopsis for the show, as per IMDb, reads as follows:

"Two women are driven to the brink, facing an inescapable reality that forces them to consider murder as their only way out."

As mentioned, As You Stood By built a steady buzz and reached many homes. The story gave viewers a close look at abusive relationships and delved into themes of self-defence. The last episode raised new questions: will the protagonists' past come back to haunt them as they try to rebuild their lives? This question sets the base for more plot.

So the chance of As You Stood By Season 2 stays possible. However, since this is a limited series, it is also possible that a potential season 2 carries forward the same themes but with different characters.

However, if the series doesn't receive favorable reviews, then Netflix might decide against renewal.

If the same leads return, the show keeps a strong pull. Guest roles can step in and add fresh sparks. If the team keeps the same blend, the show can stay on firm ground. The makers can also explore similar themes but with a new cast and characters. It might be harder to bring back the cast, since the show was launched as a limited series.


Conclusion

The ending of As You Stood By did not close every door. So a potential renewal feels fair. As You Stood By Season 2 can carry forward the story while exploring similar themes to the first season. Until Netflix makes an official announcement, fans can stay hopeful.
