Unlike most dating shows like Single's Inferno, which feature socially active contestants, this series focuses on people with no past romantic experiences. Produced by Studio Modak, the first season followed 10 lifelong singles navigating their first relationships. With new casting now underway, the next season will again feature inexperienced daters participating in structured challenges on screen. A release date has not been announced, but production is expected to begin once casting is complete.Everything we know about Better Late Than Single season 2 so farDirector Kim No-eun, back with co-director Won Seung-jae, said the decision to renew Better Late Than Single for a second season was made after a strong positive response to the debut run (via The Korea Times).“Thanks to the encouragement and empathy from viewers for the cast members’ awkward attempts at love, we are moving ahead with Season 2.
