The Korean thriller remake Confidence Queen has taken the streaming world by storm since its debut, blending high-stakes cons, sharp dialogue, and a charismatic ensemble cast into a pulse-pounding narrative. Adapted from the beloved Japanese series Confidence Man JP, the show follows a team of clever swindlers led by the enigmatic “Confidence Queen” as they pull off elaborate heists targeting the ultra-wealthy and corrupt. With its mix of crime drama and witty banter, it’s no surprise that fans are already clamoring for more. But as the credits roll on Season 1, the big question lingers: Will there be a Confidence Queen Season 2? Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the latest updates, rumors, and what the future might hold.
What Is Confidence Queen About?
Confidence Queen isn’t your average K-drama. It’s a fresh Korean spin on Japan’s 2018 gem The Confidence Man JP, serving up episodic cons that target greed-fueled villains in the cutthroat worlds of real estate and finance. Yi-rang, our unapologetic queen of deception, leads the charge with her ragtag crew: the brooding tech whiz Gu-ho (Joo Jong-hyuk) and the suave fixer Tae-joon (Park Hee-soon). Over 12 episodes on TV Chosun, Coupang Play, and Prime Video, they don’t just steal wallets—they steal the show, doling out justice with style.
The series clocked top spots on streaming charts, cracking the global top 8 on Amazon Prime and dominating Coupang Play’s weekly lists. Critics raved about the chemistry—Park Min-young alone slipped through over 30 disguises, from glamorous casino boss to quirky village elder, earning her props for nailing the mix of vulnerability and venom. And that overarching revenge arc? It tied everything together without a single dull moment. No wonder folks are clamoring for more; this one’s got that rare addictive pull where every scam feels like a mini-movie.
Is Confidence Queen Season 2 Happening?
As of October 21, 2025, Amazon Prime Video has not officially renewed Confidence Queen for a second season. The show’s creators at TME Group and GHOST4 Production haven’t spilled any beans in post-finale interviews, and the cast’s.
