If you’re a fan of pulse-pounding horror, emotional depth, and monstrous twists, Netflix’s Sweet Home has likely clawed its way into your watchlist. The South Korean apocalyptic K-drama, starring Song Kang as the brooding Cha Hyun-su, exploded onto the scene in 2020 as one of Netflix’s first major K-drama hits. With its gripping tale of survivors battling human-to-monster transformations in a crumbling apartment complex, it quickly became a global phenomenon, topping charts in over 70 countries.
But after the heart-wrenching finale of Season 3 in July 2024, fans are left wondering: Is Sweet Home Season 4 happening? Here’s everything we know so far.
Is Sweet Home Season 4 happening?
As of October 2025, Netflix has not announced a renewal for Sweet Home Season 4. In fact, the streaming giant explicitly labeled Season 3 as the “final season” in its June 2024 press release, promising a “fitting close to the epic series.” Director Lee Eung-bok echoed this during the production presentation, calling it the “grand finale” and emphasizing how the team focused on concluding all major storylines with Netflix’s full support.
This planned three-season arc was set back in 2021 when Netflix renewed the show for Seasons 2 and 3 right after Season 1’s success. Unlike open-ended hits like Squid Game, Sweet Home was designed to end here, tying up loose ends like Hyun-su’s duality, the neohuman threat, and survivor dynamics. No production start date, cast contracts, or teaser trailers have surfaced for a potential Season 4.
Why Isn’t Sweet Home Season 4 Happening?
The short answer: The story is complete, and the creators wanted to avoid dragging out the narrative. Lee Eung-bok noted in interviews that Season 3 allowed them to “dedicate ourselves to concluding the series” after incorporating fan feedback from Season 2’s criticisms (like its wider scope diluting the claustrophobic tension). Netflix, too, views it as wrapped, with no cancellation drama—just a deliberate endpoint.
