Netflix’s hit series Severe Trauma Center is returning with an expanded universe as it confirms the simultaneous production of Season 2 and Season 3. However, actress Ha-young, who appeared in the previous season, has officially stepped down following recent controversy surrounding her pro-Japanese ancestry.
On the 19th, the Netflix series ‘Severe Trauma Center’ announced the simultaneous production of Seasons 2 and 3 alongside its new casting lineup. For the upcoming seasons, Jung Ye-in will newly join as the female lead replacing Ha-young, alongside returning main cast members Joo Ji-hoon, Choo Young-woo, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Jung Jae-kwang.
‘Severe Trauma Center’ depicts the exhilarating story of genius surgeon Baek Kang-hyuk (played by Joo Ji-hoon), who is deployed to resuscitate a nominal severe trauma team. Known for its refreshing plot progression and dopamine-boosting highlight scenes, the show received passionate love, entering the Top 10 lists in 63 countries worldwide.
Seasons 2 and 3 will depict the fierce struggles of the severe trauma team as they race to protect the golden hour of life and death amidst even larger disasters and crises. Season 2 was scripted by Director Lee Do-yoon, while newcomer writer Tomasi joins Director Lee for Season 3.
Joo Ji-hoon continues his exhilarating performance as Baek Kang-hyuk, while Choo Young-woo details the growth of Yang Jae-kwang into his successor. Yoon Kyung-ho as Han Yu-rim, who has been promoted to head of planning and coordination at Korea University Hospital, and Jung Jae-kwang as Park Kyung-won add delightful synergy. In addition, Jung Ye-in, who passed a fierce audition to join the cast, will inject fresh vitality into the drama as veteran nurse Cheon Jang-mi.
Meanwhile, Ha-young, who appeared in the previous season, was ultimately excluded from the lineup for Seasons 2 and 3 due to the controversy surrounding her grandfather’s pro-Japanese history.
The production team expressed their ambition to fill the vacancy by introducing new and charming actors to complete a flawless synergy. ‘Severe Trauma Center’ Seasons 2 and 3 will be available exclusively on Netflix.
