tvN denied that a broadcast date had been confirmed for the drama ‘The Second Signal.’ Claims that a schedule had been set emerged after the drama’s release was postponed amid controversy over a cast member’s past, but tvN did not acknowledge that a date had been confirmed.

‘The Second Signal’ is a sequel to the tvN drama ‘Signal,’ which aired in 2016. It was scheduled to air in June this year to mark tvN’s 20th anniversary, but the broadcast was postponed indefinitely after a cast member’s history of juvenile offending became known ahead of its release.

The original ‘Signal’ is a mystery crime drama about detectives in the past and present who communicate by radio and investigate long-unsolved cases. Lee Je-hoon and Kim Hye-soo also appear in the sequel, written by Kim Eun-hee and directed by Ahn Tae-jin.
