Wasn't familiar with that actress but I hope they didn't bring her in to overshadow Seo-bi. She's one of the best female characters we've seen in any historical we've watched here. It has the smell of a ratings gimmick to it. Hope I'm wrong. It looks like they'll be doing a Season 2.5 next year with her character Ashin as the main character, showing how she survived during the timeline of Season 1 & 2. They're doing this because the main cast of Season 1 & 2 are busy doing other movies or dramas for the time being. Name of the season will be Kingdom: Ashin

Well that certainly explains why they hired a bigger-name actress for no immediately apparent reason. And why the sudden shift in direction to the north.
Frankly it doesn't really sound all that interesting, but I guess they're starting with mostly a blank slate so it's too soon to say. We'll do it here and see what we get.

Season 2.5's been confirmed. The title of the season is Kingdom: Story of Ashin(not official English title)
Jeon Jihyeon as Ashin, the lead character of this season
The Royal Commandery Leader from Season 2 will also play a crucial role in this season

Thanks for the update, appreciate it. Do you know if the plan is still to fit her story into the events we saw timewise in the first two seasons? Or are they going to go forward from where we left things?
Especially now that they're bringing in the commandery leader, trying to do a contemporaneous story seems like it's a minefield of continuity problems. That's not to say they won't succeed at it--it can be done--but it's a challenge.

From the sounds of it, it'll only be a special episode to provide more background info on Ashin before S3.

Kingdom Anshin Of the North
From what i read its a stand alone TV movie that is actually a prequel that traces the origin of the cursed flower .
That may or may not be accurate .If the news is in English, its suspect LOL.

I don't know about you, but I don't think I want to know the origin of the flower.
Some things are just best left unexplained, you know?
And the unexplained is alot more scarier.

OK thanks...we'll do it here like we did the first two seasons, whenever it arrives. I suppose the pandemic messed up their shooting schedule like it's messed up everything else.

From what I've read, if things go according to plan, Ashin should be out at some point in 2021. S3 should follow in 2022.
BTW, Kingdom writer Kim Eun Hee has said that, if it were up to her, the series would have 10 seasons.

I think that's a little too much but I suppose it shows just how much she cares about her project, and I don't think I can fault her for that.

I think the 'Ashin' backstory is supposed to only be like a 2 hr long film rather than a full season of drama, but not completely sure. Will have to wait for more info.
