Difficulty in casting and overseas shooting

Inevitable to change the production schedule for October

Fans from first season 'disappointed'

"Plan on taking time to cast and plan the drama"

The production of "Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun" within this year has been canceled due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Studio Dragon, a production company, said on the 22nd, "We were preparing for season 2 with the aim of cranking in October this year, but the production schedule was disrupted due to circumstances such as difficulties in filming overseas due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation".

As filming is virtually impossible as scheduled, it is expected that the casting of directors and cast members for season 2 will take time.

"Arthdal Chronicles" is a fantasy historical drama about the fate of heroes who make different legends in the ancient land of 'Arth'.

Season 1 was first aired in June last year and was divided into parts of 1 to 3. Director Kim Won-seok's solid directing skills gained popularity thanks to the performances of the cast, including Jang Dong-gun, Song Joong-ki, Kim Ji-won, Kim Ok-vin and Choo Ja-hyun. The appearance of mixed-race and foreign actors such as Elena Ahn and Erika Karata also drew attention.
