Again told in three languages — Korean, Japanese, and English — and consisting of another eight episodes, Pachinko Season 2 will launch on Friday, Aug. 23 with one episode, followed by weekly releases through Oct. 11.

Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Min Jin Lee and epic in scope, Pachinko chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in a quest to survive and thrive. Starting in South Korea in the early 1900s, the story has been told through the eyes of a remarkable matriarch, Sunja, who triumphs against all odds.

The first season, which streamed March 25 through April 29, 2022, received a Peabody Award, an American Film Institute Award, a Critics Choice Award and a Gotham Independent Film Award, as well as netted one Emmy nomination (for Main Title Design) and two Television Critics Association Award nods (for Outstanding New Program and Achievement in Drama).
