Dave Apr 20 2026 5:00 pm Would love to see a Season 2 of this, it had a really cool atmosphere.

Angela Mar 08 2026 6:43 am pleassseeee, seasoooon 2. I'm cryiiiinggg

NeilWH Sep 26 2024 2:13 am Chae Ja-Gyeong is so scary, cold, ruthless and professional!! She has all the John Wick going for her.

My vote for a Season 2

Ine Sep 18 2024 4:31 am Crossing my fingers for a season 2!!

Jaegyeon Sep 07 2024 10:18 pm Just finished watching the series. All I can say is we need more of this, please. Manifesting for The Tyrant 2.

Tabitha Aug 26 2024 11:24 am So this is Spin Off to The Witch 1&2, my guess is the timeline take place long before Jayoon born or before it. My question is Why Jayoon Adoptive Father is in The tyrant as Professor No? And he died in here, if he died here which is the spin off of the Witch, how did he have a wife and living in a farm when jayoon find them? Did he have a twins like Professor Baek? This is still confuse me. And i think why Jae gyeong can adapt to the Tyrant serum fast is bcs she came from the same Lab that Made Jayoon, in the end we can see little Jaegyeong using the same white dress like little jayoon, and her eyes turned completely Black .. That's why she didnt die when she was stabbed and drowned. I can wait for The Witch 3 / The Tyrant 2 , 4 ep is too shortt ?

LD Aug 18 2024 4:27 am For me after watching it. It doesn't look like The Witch but its strongly resembles The Venom. Parasitic symbiotic relationship to the host. Its quite good but I'm hoping for the witch someday to be realized.

Nicks Aug 15 2024 1:42 pm Good :) series but its only 4 ?

Mi mi mi Aug 14 2024 4:57 pm K-drama is a breath of fresh air that I never regret getting used to. This series was wonderful and I enjoyed it to the end

lily Aug 14 2024 12:48 pm @jays it’s still in the same universe as the film of The Witch part 1: the subversion (2018) & The Witch part 2: the other one (2022)
