Possible storylines for Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld season 2 explored

The Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld season 1 ended on a conclusive note, with Jentry killing the demons who were hunting her down for her powers. In the season finale episode, Jentry moves back to Seoul with her mother, Moonie, and continues her life with her boyfriend, Michael, by easily teleporting between Seoul and Texas.

As the show's protagonist is a 16-year-old teenager, the second season can explore Jentry's evolution with new, daring adventures that help her come into her own. Also, her parents' past with the underworld and Daoism can become a potential storyline for Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld season 2.

Furthermore, the supernatural series can introduce fresh characters in the form of new demons from the underworld of Diyu or even bring back Mogui in a different form. By adding a new spin on familiar tropes from the first season, the Netflix series can create intrigue and suspense for its second outing.
