Extraordinary Attorney Woo is Back!

The record-breaking, heart-warming story of an autistic lawyer with extraordinary skills and memory will be back gracing our screens in no time! As of the moment, the release date of the second season is still unclear since writer Moon Ji-won is "currently writing the script", an industry insider recently stated. The production company, AStory, is preparing to produce season two by drawing on the season one remake.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo ended season one with a whopping 17.5 percent viewership, which is the highest among ENA dramas to date. Right after season one ended, AStory initially set the goal of producing season two in 2024 and signed a script-writing contract with Moon Ji-won in 2023.

However, the script work was delayed along with the casting schedule. Park Eun-bin, who stars in the show, also stated that she "hasn't received any contact about casting".

AStory believes the production of the season one remake will have a positive impact on the production of season two.

"We are pursuing remakes in the United States, Japan, and Europe, and we plan to directly take charge of the entire process from pre-production to adaptation and organization abroad," an AStory official said. "This global project could also speed up the production of Season 2."

What Extraordinary Attorney Woo is About

Extraordinary Lawyer Woo tells a story about a young woman, Woo Young Woo (Park Eun BinThe King's Affection 2021), diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Woo Young Woo is a genius and never forgets what she sees, but lacks social skills and empathy. She braves the prejudice and irrationality due to her disorder as a new trainee lawyer at a top law firm. As she navigates office politics, she befriends co-workers and gains their trust with her own unique style as she works on solving her own cases from a unique perspective.
