Selected for the New York Times Best International Shows of 2021, Netflix announces a second season for D.P.
Netflix affirmed the production of Season 2 for D.P., which premiered on August 27th of this year. The series is highly-lauded for bringing hidden social issues to light.
D.P. follows Deserter Pursuit Unit members An Joon-ho (Jung Hae In) and Han Ho Yeul (Koo Kyo Hwan) as they pursue fellow soldiers who have deserted their postings.
Based on Kim Bo Tong’s D.P, Dog’s Day, this series takes on new life with Director Han Jun Hee of Coin Locker Girl and Hit-and-Run Squad, who weaves in keen insights and poignant details.
Shedding light on overlooked stories of AWOL soldiers and those who seek them, the series has been acclaimed widely both domestically and internationally.
Moreover, season 1 concludes with the protagonist heading in the opposite direction of the other soldiers.
The sound of his footsteps breaking into a run can be heard even after the credits begin to roll, leaving viewers wondering where the story will go from there.
D.P. mesmerized viewers and critics alike with captivating characters set against the innovative idea of soldiers chasing down AWOL soldiers.
