Flex X Cop 2 Disney+ release: only SBS second-half drama not on Netflix
Season 2 streams on Disney+ in Korea, released the same day as the SBS broadcast.
Disney+ is also the only Korean platform carrying the show — it is the one SBS second-half 2026 drama not on Netflix.
Season 1 sat on Disney+ the same way, so the pattern from two years ago holds.
For viewers in the US, the season is listed on Hulu, though its availability beyond the US is not officially confirmed.
Korean viewers can also find it on Wavve as a secondary option.
What is not confirmed is region-by-region availability beyond Korea and the US.
A source lists Disney+, Hulu, and Wavve together, but no official page states which platform serves each country for Season 2.
The practical move: open Disney+ in your region first, then check Hulu if you are in the US.
Season 1 was listed on Disney+ under Action and Adventure, Comedy, and Cops & Detectives, which suggests the sequel follows the same shelf.
One more channel detail for completeness.
Beyond SBS TV and Disney+, the drama also airs on SBS Plus, SBS funE, SBS LIFE, ENA, and E Channel in Korea — but streaming access runs through Disney+.
| Premiere | August 7, 2026 on SBS and Disney+ |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Fridays and Saturdays, 21:50–23:10 KST, two episodes per week |
| Episodes | 14 total, about 70 minutes each |
| Finale | September 19, 2026 |
| Rating | 15+ (Korean content rating) |
| Theme song | DPR IAN — ‘No Mercy’ |
Release schedule: two episodes a week through September 19
The season premiered on August 7, 2026 as an SBS Friday-Saturday drama, airing 21:50–23:10 KST.
Two episodes drop per week, Friday and Saturday, on Disney+ alongside the broadcast.
Fourteen episodes are planned, which works out to a seven-week run ending September 19, 2026.
As of September 5, six episodes have aired, with episodes 9–10 airing September 4–5 and the finale pair on September 18–19.
Binge math for latecomers: six episodes at roughly 70 minutes each comes to about seven hours to catch up before the finale week.
Yoo Seung Ho lures Lee Sae Rom to his studio, a cameo with a sculptor’s hands
The September 5 stills show Yoo Seung Ho luring Lee Sae Rom to his studio, in scenes reportedly shot on set.
Yoo Seung Ho’s cameo casting was announced before the premiere, playing a fellow chaebol heir described as having a sculptor’s hands.
This connects to the Season 2 villain arc that starts around episode 5, which features a UBS Media Group chairwoman and her sculptor-artist son.
How many episodes the cameo spans, and Lee Sae Rom’s exact role, are not stated in the available sources.
The official synopses so far cover only the early cases, so no spoilers beyond those appear here.
What is new in Season 2: Joo Hye-ra and a reshuffled team
Jung Eun-chae joins as team leader Joo Hye-ra, replacing Season 1’s female lead Park Ji-hyun.
Joo Hye-ra was Jin Yi-soo’s feared police academy instructor — the ‘devil instructor’ — and she volunteered for the Violent Crimes Unit 1 posting.
That sets up a rank mismatch: a former instructor now outranking the chaebol heir detective, replacing Season 1’s same-rank buddy pairing.
Ahn Bo-hyun returns as Jin Yi-soo, with Kang Sang-jun and Kim Shin-bi continuing in the unit.
New faces include Kim Myung-soo as Hansu Group chairman Choi Jung-hoon, Kwak Si-yang as Yi-soo’s half-brother Jin Seung-ju, and Lee Hak-ju as the leader of a killer group.
Season 1 director Kim Jae-hong and writer Kim Ba-da both returned, and the show sits in SBS’s ‘cider universe’ alongside Taxi Driver and The Fiery Priest.
Ratings so far: climbing through August
Nielsen Korea national ratings rose from 6.1% for episode 1 to 7.5% by episode 6, a gain of about 23%.
Episode 6 peaked at 7.8% in the Seoul metro area.
The climb ran steadily through August, and episode 6 posted the season high so far.
Ratings for episodes 7 and beyond are not yet recorded in the available sources.
For context, Season 1 aired in 2024 with ratings below other broadcasters’ shows, and Season 2 was made after two years of viewer requests — the rising numbers suggest the audience found it anyway.
Do you need Season 1 first?
Season 1 aired in 2024 on Disney+, so both seasons sit on the same platform.
The premise is self-contained: chaebol heir Jin Yi-soo accidentally arrests himself while stopping a kidnapping with MMA skills, gets disowned by his chairman father, and joins the police.
His first case — a model’s death on a yacht — is solved through a fingerprint match against himself.
The season is a remake of the Russian Channel 1 drama ‘Silver Spoon’.
New viewers can start with Season 2’s early episodes, where a haunted-house tip turns into a five-body homicide case, though the Jin Yi-soo character reads better with Season 1 behind you.
