There is more on the horizon for fans of Korean action thrillers, as A Shop for Killers Season 2 is officially coming to Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia on July 22, 2026. The show ends the first season with a cliff hanger, and now, the epic and dangerous fight against the enigmatic mercenary group, Babylon, is about to start.
In the new season, rather than the ‘survival’ plot of season 1, Jeong Ji-an goes head-to-head with her enemies. Apart from the usual high-stakes action, returning fans favourites, new assassins and bigger action sequences, Season 2 is sure to be another exciting ride for the viewer in Malaysia.

What to Expect in Season 2?
This Season 2 is set to go directly after the Pulse of Drama in Season 1 finale. A major mystery of the series that will finally be answered–was Jeong Jin-man. In the new snippets, we see where he had been lying and how he’s still affecting the other underground organization, Murthehelp.
Kim Hye-jun’s Jeong Ji-an on the other hand, has absorbed her uncle’s teachings wholeheartedly and is acting with them. But she is no longer trying to survive; now she assumes the mantle of leadership and must take responsibility to save Murthehelp from powerful enemies who are intent on destroying the organisation.
Of course adding to the excitement is the arrival of Japanese actor Masaki Okada who stars as “J”, one of Babylon’s elite assassins. He brings a new threat to the table, and there will be some serious scenes of action, as well as high-stakes confrontations all season long.
