Today, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for the upcoming second season of Pachinko, the award-winning and globally acclaimed sweeping drama series by creator/executive producer Soo Hugh. Hailing from Media Res, and told in three languages — Korean, Japanese, and English – the eight-episode second season of Pachinko will premiere globally on Friday, August 23 with one episode, followed by one episode weekly every Friday through October 11.

Based on The New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, Pachinko tells a story of love and survival across four generations, told through the eyes of a remarkable matriarch, Sunja. In season two, the parallel stories pick up in Osaka in 1945, where Sunja is forced to make dangerous decisions for her family’s survival during World War II, and in Tokyo in 1989, which finds Solomon exploring new, humble beginnings. 

The first season received 11 international awards including a Peabody Award, an American Film Institute Award, a Critics Choice Award and a Gotham Independent Film Award. Season two stars Lee Minho, Academy Award winner Yuh-Jung Youn, Minha Kim, Jin Ha, Emmy Award nominee Anna Sawai, Eunchae Jung, Soji Arai, Junwoo Han and Sungkyu Kim

The trailer debuts a brand new moving cover of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” by global superstar Rosé of the record breaking K-pop group BLACKPINK. In addition to debuting as the series’ trailer anthem, Rosé’s cover is featured in the Pachinko season two finale. 

Produced for Apple TV+ by the studio Media Res, Pachinko was created and written by Soo Hugh who serves as executive producer. The series is executive produced by Media Res’ Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer, and Blue Marble Pictures’ Theresa Kang. Season two is directed by Leanne Welham, Arvin Chen, and Sang-il Lee.

Here is the trailer.
