The urban dark fantasy drama about a gumiho will continue in the "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" Seasons 2 and 3. JTBC announced the show's official renewal for another two seasons, though it may include a new cast.
AllKpop noted the original series' lead star Jo Bo Ah would not be part of the "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" Seasons 2 and 3. Though the reason for her exit is not revealed, a new casting call is, reportedly, now in place.
Rumors about the show's renewal have been swirling since the first season started. Finally, after almost a year of waiting, th show will continue.
The production staff confirmed a casting process for a new female lead had begun and the new seasons would take place in the past. Season 2 will be set during the Japanese colonial period, while Season 3 will feature a historical drama in the Joseon era.
So, with Jo Bo Ah's departure, fans cannot help but react to her exit. Some question the move, saying they only watch the show because of the 30-year-old actress.
Others wonder if the "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" Seasons 2 and 3 will be as good as the first season without the "Temperature of Love" star in it. Viewers also ask what will happen now that Jo Bo Ah is out of the picture.
On the contrary, some netizens are open to having a new female lead star in the series. Since the story will be about the past, it will be quite weird to see the same star in the new timeline.
Meanwhile, a tvN representative responds to the reports about the show, per Soompi. The spokesperson revealed they are now having "positive discussions" about the series' new seasons.
So far, there is no cast line-up yet or other major details about the show, like its release date. Nothing has been finalized as of this moment, though they are planning to make 16 episodes for the second season.
Season 1 director, Kang Shin Hyo, will also return to the directorial seat to helm the new season. The "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" started airing in October 2020 and lasted for more than a month with 16 episodes.
It starred Lee dong Wook, Jo Bo Ah and Kim Bun as they explored a modern fantasy story about a male gumiho or a mythical nine-tailed fox who lived in the city. Then, a producing director investigated the supernatural creature that led to an incredible love story and now the production of the "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" Seasons 2 and 3.
