Is Apple TV+’s KPOPPED getting a second season? Here’s what the producers have to say!
The music competition show premiered on Apple TV+ on Friday, August 29, and showcases the best of Western pop and K-pop in a series of sensational artist showdowns. Originally created to celebrate the global phenomenon that K-pop has become, KPOPPED features a star-studded lineup, including acts like Boyz II Men, Megan Thee Stallion and ATEEZ.
Us Weekly sat down with producers Moira Ross and Jake Hong to see if a second season might be in the works, and what the new season might look like.

“We’ve got a few little hopes for next season,” Ross exclusively shared with Us when asked about what stars might be featured on season 2. “I think we’ve got a long, long wish list for sure.” Though she wouldn’t give any spoilers, it’s clear she already has some ideas up her sleeve!
The show’s first season boasts some of Korea’s best talent, including artists like ITZY, Kep1er and STAYC. These acts face off against some of the music industry’s best, both old and new, including J Balvin, TLC and Patti LaBelle. Each artist competes to reimagine their greatest hits, with the winners determined by a vote from a live audience in Seoul, South Korea.
Having worked as a showrunner for shows like The Voice UK and The Masked Singer, Ross anticipates a second season might bring about some new elements, including a voting system that would allow viewers to participate from the comfort of their homes.

“I think that outside of the voting, whether or not that is a big part of the show, because it’s a celebration … we understand that maybe viewers would like to be part of that experience. So that’s a consideration that we would look into,” Ross told Us.
“I think one main thing is maybe if we could have the public voting element. If we can figure it out, that’d be amazing,” Hong told Us. Ultimately, both Hong and Ross hope that the show continues to share their goal of encouraging cross-cultural collaboration in the music industry.
“We want this show not to be only a show for the K-pop fans, but a celebration for anyone who loves music,” Hong said. “Anyone, from cross-cultural [to] cross generational, anyone who loves music will, I believe, enjoy this show.”
Ross agreed: “We hope that it still appeals to all of the die-hard fans for all of the artists, [and] that it also brings in new fans in terms of this cross-cultural fusion.”
While nothing is set in stone yet, we’re eager to see what epic collaborations season 2 might bring!
All episodes of KPOPPED are now available to stream on Apple TV+.
