The story about shapeshifters, the politics between the main houses of Daeho, and love stories and triangles, Alchemy of Souls was successful in setting the bar high for a fantasy period drama series.

Since the airing of its last episode, people have been desperately waiting for its second season. A glimpse of the same was provided at the end of the 20th and the final episode. Though the clip was very short, still people came out with their interpretations and confused the fans.

With the release date of the series directed by Park Joon Hwa and produced by tvN, has been announced, people will soon get clarification, and there will be no space left for the rumors. With the highest ratings for a period fantasy drama, Alchemy of Souls is being missed by the fans and we’re here to provide all the updates about the same. The 10-episode Alchemy of Souls Season 2 will be released on December 10, 2022, on Netflix.

There are no official updates regarding the plot of the second season. But, there was a drastic turn of events in the final episodes of Season 1 of Alchemy of Souls. It was seen that Mu-deok went mad, and her body started turning into a stone. The last episode provided several hints about what the writers i.e., the Hong sisters might have in mind.

After Jung Uk got killed by Mu-deok, he is seen erupting from flames, getting resurrected because he has the power of the King’s star. Mu-deok jumped into the river where the body of all the shapeshifters rest. Just as she was close to her death, a pair of hands come and save her. All this hints at what the second season of Alchemy of Souls has in store for its fans. In the final moments of the final episode of season 1, Jang Uk is seen mercilessly killing people with the help of Naksu’s sword. 

As the Crown Prince came into Jin Mu’s talking, he might also be seen attacking Jang Uk at regular intervals. Earlier it was the Shaman Choi who was making the crystals for soul-shifting and now, it very well might be the Crown Prince with the Shaman gone. The King had always been insecure about the person born with the King’s Star and after discovering that Jang Uk is the one with it, he will not spare Uk. Many troubles are in Jang Uk’s way and he somehow has to save himself and his love.

Many rumors surrounding the character of Mu-deok were published. These rumors said that she won’t be seen in the second season. Yes! All these rumors were true, and Mu-deok won’t be back in the second season. Instead, Nak su will return. Go Yoon-jung, who plays the role of Nak Su will be seen. It is a win-win situation because Jang Uk’s love is not lost after all.

The whole cast of Alchemy of Souls season one except Jung So-min who played Mu-deok, is returning. The rest of the cast including Lee Jae-Wook (as Jang Uk), Jung So-Min (as Mu-Deok), Minhyun (as Seo Yul), Yu Jun-Sang (as Park Jin), Yoo In-Soo (as Park Dang-Gu), Lee Do-Kyung (as Heo Yeom), Hong Seo-Hui (as Heo Yun-Ok), Jo Jae-Yun (as Jin Mu), Park Eun-Hye (as Jin Ho-Gyeong), Arin (as Jin Cho-Yeon), Shin Seung-Ho (as Go Won), Oh Na-Ra (as Maidservant Kim Do-Joo), and others will return for the second season.
