There is no official confirmation that Law and the City has been renewed for Season 2.

Despite high ratings and a tremendous growth in viewership by the time the show ended, tvN has not announced a follow-up season. Critics and analysts point out that the season 1 finale, which premiered on August 10, 2025, offered a closure to the arcs of the primary characters.

Ahn Ju-hyeong and Kang Hui-ji continue in supportive roles, while others also move on with their new chapters in life. Bae Mun-jeong returns post-maternity leave, Ha Sang-gi pursues a PhD and romance, and Jo Chang-won becomes a prosecutor.

The fans of the show indeed want more and expect the production to renew it for another season.

As mentioned, there hasn't been any official information about the renewal of Law and the City after its season 1 finale premiered on August 10, 2025. Fans' comments on Reddit display that they didn't want this show to end so soon and are expecting a season 2.

"One of my favourite dramas of 2025. They did amazing. Kinda hoping they could have season 2. Their friendship is so much fun and wholesome," a fan commented on Reddit.

Given that the show has provided closure to its characters' arcs, it suggests that a renewal is highly unlikely. While multi-season K-dramas are gradually becoming the norm, slice-of-life or legal dramas remain limited.

Law and the City started with a solid 4.6% nationwide viewership and steadily climbed to around 5.8% by the finale, which is a healthy trajectory for a cable drama. However, the show has some big names attached to it, such as Lee Jong-suk and Mun Ka-young, which makes scheduling for another season challenging, even if the makers try to do so, considering the reception.

Ahn Ju-hyeong's company compels him to drop his case against Mr. Park despite the injustices. Man-su's death, on the other hand, comes as a realization of why he wanted to be a lawyer at first. This enables him to open Mr. Park's case independently, demonstrating that he values justice.

Hui-ji doubles down on her calling as a public defender, choosing empathy and accessibility over status. She also bonds with Ju-hyeong romantically; however, the finale leaves them as professional allies and personal confidants.

Cho Chang-won became a prosecutor to fight for justice from the other side of the bench. Ha Sang-gi meets Kim Ryu-jin. This encourages her to pursue her long-overdue PHD and return to academia. Bae Mun-jeong takes maternity leave but stays connected to her firm, demonstrating her effort to balance her career and family.
