The Atypical Family recently wrapped its first season, but will there be a Season 2?
Billed as a limited series, the South Korean romantic drama centers on a “mysterious woman who changes the lives of a de-powered superhuman family,” per the streamer’s description. The show debuted on both the South Korean TV network JTBC and Netflix on May 4. Decider contributor Radhika Menon encouraged prospective viewers to stream the series in Decider’s review, concluding that “despite some bad politics and character development flaws, the series has a compelling enough premise to warrant pressing play.”
The Atypical Family cast consists of Jang Ki-yong as Bok Gwi-ju, Chun Woo-hee as Do Da-Hae, Go Doo-shim as Bok Man-heum, Claudia Kim as Bok Dong-hee, and more, per Screen Rant.
