"Agents of Mystery" is returning as a massive open-world adventure that expands its mystery-solving scale to outdoor locations.
The second season of the Netflix's puzzle-driven series follows the success of the first season in 2024, which tracked a team of investigators solving strange cases that science cannot explain.
"We received some complaints during the first season because it felt too short," producer Jung Jong-yeon said during a press conference in Seoul, Thursday, explaining that the new season expands from six episodes to nine and utilizes outdoor filming to enable more active, dynamic storytelling.
The show is the latest project from Jung, who is widely regarded as a master of the mystery and escape show genre, with previous hits such as "The Great Escape," "The Devil's Plan" and "High School Mystery Club."
While the first season mostly focused on indoor undercover investigations, the new season aims to captivate global audiences through a significantly larger production scale and improved team chemistry.

Returning cast members include comedian Lee Yong-jin, singer John Park, singer and actor Hyeri, actor Kim Do-hoon and singer Karina of aespa, who are joined by a new member, the dancer and choreographer Gabee.
Jung praised the addition of Gabee as a good fit with the original cast members.
"I have always wanted to be part of a program like this," Gabee said, adding that she tried to focus on contributing her energy to the group even though she does not consider herself particularly brave or skilled in problem solving.
