What’s the release date for The Chair Season 2?

The show seems to be a hit with subscribers. Shortly after its launch, the show was one of Netflix’s top ten most-watched TV series. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the show is a big hit with audiences and critics alike.
Assuming Netflix renews The Chair for Season 2 soon, production could start soon. Most shows only have one season between seasons. Therefore, fans should expect another episode to be released around August or Sept 2022. There are also delays caused by the COVID-19 epidemic that could make things more complicated.
Who’s in the cast for The Chair Season 2?
The event “The Chair”, Season 2, will see many of the same cast returning. Sandra Oh would likely be returning as Dr. Ji-Yoon. This character was the one who endured each ordeal in the first season.
