The second season of Disney+’s ultra-stylish action K-drama series A Shop for Killers picks up right where season one left off. The first two episodes immediately throw audiences back into the mix, as Lee Dong-wook’s reclusive arms dealer Jeong Jin-man returns from the grave to save his niece Ji-an (Kim Hye-jun) from a cadre of violent mercenaries descending upon Murthehelp, his one-stop weapons bazaar.

Returning director Lee Kwon helms all eight episodes of this second season, which he again adapts with Ji Ho-jin from the novel A Killer’s Shopping Mall by Kang Ji-young.

The aptly titled first episode, “Jin-man, That Same Day”, fills in many of the questions surrounding the protagonist’s antics in the lead-up to his climactic – if hardly surprising – return at the end of the previous season.
