Netflix’s hit K-drama “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call” is coming back in a big way, with Seasons 2 and 3 confirmed for simultaneous production and star Ju Ji-hoon returning as genius trauma surgeon Baek Kang-hyeok, according to a report by MBC Entertainment.

The medical drama follows Baek Kang-hyeok, a brilliant surgeon who leaves the battlefield to revive a neglected trauma center. Season 1 won over viewers worldwide with its fast-paced storytelling and the cast’s playful team chemistry, landing in the top 10 in 63 countries.

Joining Ju Ji-hoon are returning cast members Choo Young-woo as Yang Jae-won, Baek’s successor; Yoon Kyung-ho as Han Yoo-rim, now promoted to chief of staff at Hankuk University Hospital; and Jung Jae-kwang as Park Kyung-won. Newcomer Jung Ye-in has been cast as veteran nurse Cheon Jang-mi after a fierce audition, replacing Ha Young, who exited the show after controversy erupted over her great-grandfather’s pro-Japanese collaboration record coming to light.

Season 2 will pit Baek Kang-hyeok and the trauma team against even greater disasters and unpredictable crises as they fight to protect patients’ golden hour, with director Lee Do-yoon writing the script. Season 3 will be penned by Lee alongside rookie writer Tomashi, promising an expanded scale and upgraded cast chemistry.

No official statement was available from Netflix or the production team.

Production on both seasons will proceed simultaneously, with additional new cast members expected to be announced.
