Apple TV+ this week unveiled the trailer for the upcoming second season of “Pachinko,” the award-winning, multicultural drama series by creator/executive producer Soo Hugh.
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.
The trailer debuts a brand-new 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.
Based on The New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, “Pachinko” is a sweeping 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, Yuh-Jung Youn, Minha Kim, Jin Ha, Anna Sawai, Eunchae Jung, Soji Arai, Junwoo Han and Sungkyu Kim.
