Netflix denies season 2 plans for hit Korean drama “Teach You a Lesson”

Netflix issued an official statement on July 21, 2026 addressing circulating rumors that a second season of its Korean original series "Teach You a Lesson" (also known as "참교육" or "Aprendendo a Lição") is in development. A spokesperson told the press, “There are no confirmed plans for a second season of ‘Teach You a Lesson.’” The same sentiment was echoed in reports from Brazil (“Nada foi decidido sobre a produção da segunda temporada de ‘Aprendendo a Lição’ neste momento.”) and South Korea (“‘참교육’ 시즌2 관련해서 정해진 바가 없다”).

The series, adapted from the webtoon "Get Schooled," follows a fictional Education Rights Protection Bureau intervening in troubled schools. Since its June 2026 release, it has topped non‑English series charts for four consecutive weeks, entered Netflix’s global Top 10, and accumulated roughly 48 million viewing hours in its first half‑year, ranking sixth worldwide. While some outlets claim internal discussions about a follow‑up are underway, Netflix maintains that no formal renewal has been finalized.
