Netflix Reveals May 6 Premiere Date for “The Devil’s Plan: Death Room” with an Exciting New Teaser Highlighting Intense Survival Challenges and a Dramatic Prison Ward Expansion
Netflix has set the stage for an intense new season of its hit survival game show. The second season, called The Devil’s Plan: Death Room, arrives on May 6, 2025, with fresh twists, tougher challenges, and a group of 14 clever contestants ready to outsmart each other. Directed by producer Jung Jong Yeon, known for shows like The Genius and The Great Escape, this season promises to raise the stakes higher than ever before.
A Game of Brains Gets a Dark Twist
The Devil’s Plan puts contestants from all walks of life in one house for seven days. They face off in tricky mind games and tough competitions, all to prove who has the sharpest brain and takes home the win.
This time, the show adds a big change with its new subtitle, Death Room. A teaser released on April 9, 2025, shows off a bigger and scarier version of the “prison” twist from Season 1. It’s now a full “prison ward,” and players react with shock, saying things like “7 vs. 7?” and “There’s a deathmatch now?” These hints point to new rules that make the game more dangerous and exciting.
The teaser also highlights the mental battles ahead. Justin H. Min flashes a cold smile and says:
“Friends? We’re not friends.”
Meanwhile, Jung Hyun Gyu snaps, “You’re too loud—for someone so bad at this,” and Kim Ha Rin warns, “Have to eliminate them all.” These moments show how the players will use sharp words and smart moves to outplay each other.
Meet the 14 Players Ready to Fight
The new season brings a fresh batch of 14 contestants, each bringing their own skills to the table. The full lineup includes:
Lee Se Dol
Justin H. Min
Kyuhyun (from Super Junior)
Kang Ji Young
Yoon So Hee
Seven High
Lee Seung Hyun
Jung Hyun Gyu
Choi Hyun Joon
Chuu
Kim Ha Rin
Park Sang Yeon
Son Eun Yoo
Tino
This mix of actors, singers, and strategists sets up a fierce clash of minds. Fans already know Kyuhyun from his variety show skills, and Justin H. Min adds a global flair after his roles in popular series. With such a varied group, the competition will be unpredictable.
The Prison Ward Changes Everything
Producer Jung Jong Yeon shared details about what’s new this season. He explained that even small rule changes can shake up the whole game. The prison ward, once just a penalty spot, now plays a much bigger role.
He said:
“The prison ward will go beyond just being a punishment zone. It now serves as a class-based system that rivals the main living quarters.”
Players in the prison ward will team up to take on those in the main house. But they’ll also fight each other to survive and climb the ranks. This mix of working together and battling it out is what Jung Jong Yeon calls “competitive collaboration.” It’s a fresh dynamic that will keep viewers guessing who’ll come out on top.
What to Expect on May 6
The teaser alone shows how intense this season will be. The new prison ward splits the players into two groups, and the “deathmatch” hint suggests some will face elimination in brutal face-offs.
The psychological warfare is front and center. Players like Kim Ha Rin talk about wiping out the competition, while Justin H. Min makes it clear trust is off the table. Add in the brain-teasing games Jung Jong Yeon is known for, and this season looks set to be a wild ride.
Fans of Season 1 will remember how the show blended strategy and drama. Now, with the Death Room twist, the tension is dialed up even more. The seven-day showdown kicks off on May 6, 2025, only on Netflix.
