Apple has announced that one of its most highly acclaimedApple TV+shows ever,Pachinko, will return for a second season on 23 August this year. And we’re already excited for its return.
The show charts multiple generations of a Korean family who have immigrated to Japan in an attempt to make their way in the world, and debuted to astonishing praise for its first season – itsRotten Tomatoes score still sits at a lofty 97% rating.

The announcement is a bundle of joy, too, giving viewers a look at the new season’s opening credits sequence, which is basically a big dance number for its various characters to jive through.
This was one of the things that people loved about the first season, which had its owndance sequenceas the intro, so it’s a pretty apt way to introduce the date for its next batch of episodes.
It’s also a slightly misleading introduction to a show that actually has plenty of darker and emotional moments to offer up, with the discrimination that Korean immigrants faced historically in Japan being a key theme of the show.

It’ll debut with two episodes on 23 August and then Apple will release a weekly episode until late October, when the finale will come out. Apple seems to prefer this structure for its shows now, which means it might no longer be thebest streaming servicefor binge-watchers (even if we still think it’s excellent overall).
