Reports suggest that the popular high school thriller Bitch X Rich is preparing for a second season. According to sources from Sports Seoul, production for Season 2 is currently in progress, and discussions about casting are underway. Most of the main cast from Season 1, including Red Velvet‘s Yeri, Lee Eun Saem, and Lee Jong Hyuk, are reportedly considering reprising their roles. However, official confirmation from Wavve or the actors’ agencies is still pending.
Recap of Season 1
The first season of Bitch X Rich aired from May 31 to June 28, 2023, on Wavve and Netflix. Set in the elite Chungdam International High School, the drama centers on Kim Hye In (played by Lee Eun Saem), a transfer student who becomes entangled in a complex situation after witnessing a murder. The primary suspect, Baek Je Na (portrayed by Yeri), is the dominant figure at the school. The series showcased a fierce psychological battle between Hye In’s struggle for survival and Je Na’s power play.
Expected Plot Developments
Season 1 concluded with the downfall of the villain, Oh Shi Eun, which left the hierarchy at Chungdam International High School in chaos. For Season 2, viewers can anticipate significant changes in the power dynamics at the school. Hye In, now the last remaining member of the Diamond 6 from a disadvantaged background, will likely face new challenges as she tries to maintain her position amidst the upheaval.
Je Na’s position is also expected to be precarious, with the collapse of the succession structure and increasing suspicions surrounding her. Meanwhile, Kim Hae In might return seeking revenge, while Seo Do Eon deals with disillusionment over his feelings for Min Yul Hee. Park Woo Jin will confront his own issues of selfishness and inferiority, and Lee So Mang might emerge as a new key player with unexpected schemes.
New Characters and Future Speculations
Bitch X Rich Season 2 may introduce a new powerful character, adding further drama and complexity to the storyline. As the new season unfolds, the main characters, particularly Hye In and Je Na, are expected to face even more intense challenges. Whether they will stick to their previous patterns or adapt to the evolving circumstances remains to be seen.
At present, neither Wavve nor the actors’ agencies have officially confirmed the return of the series or its cast. Nonetheless, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation and are excited about the prospect of another thrilling season.
