Apple TV Announces 'Pachinko Season 2' Release Date; Check Out Announcement Video Inside

Inspired by Min Jin-lee's novel, ‘Pachinko’ chronicles the multigenerational saga of a Korean family who migrated to Japan. Unlike the book's chronological storytelling, the show follows a different format as it shifts between different time periods. The show debuted in 2022 and was renewed for another season even before the conclusion of its first season. The second season will be available to stream on Apple TV from August 23 onwards. The makers will be releasing new episodes every Friday. The season finale will be premiered on October 11.

Apple TV took to their social media handle to share an announcement video. Sharing the video, they wrote, “Across borders and generations, the epic story of hope, anguish, courage, and forbidden love returns. Pachinko Season 2 premieres on Apple TV+ August 23.”
