Your Honor hit the Netflix Korea TOP10 again on August 20, 2026, two years after it first aired.
The show ended in September 2024, so this is a re-release finding new viewers, not a new season.
Here is what the show is, who stars in it, and where you can stream it now.

Why a 2024 drama hit the Netflix TOP10 in 2026
Your Honor finished its first run on September 10, 2024.
Netflix added all 10 episodes on August 20, 2026, about 23 months after the finale.
The climb was fast: the show entered the Korea TOP10 series chart at #9 on August 21, reached #5 on August 23, and hit #3 on August 24.
That is four days from release to #3, according to the Netflix ranking roundup.
What is confirmed is the Netflix re-release itself; any additional reasons for the 2026 resurgence, such as the July 2025 Season 2 announcement, have not been verified by multiple sources.
What did not change: this is the complete 2024 series, not a continuation.
If you saw headlines about Your Honor in 2026 and assumed a new season was airing, it is not.
The Season 2 status is further below.

Your Honor story: two fathers, one hit-and-run
The premise is simple and brutal.
A respected judge covers up a hit-and-run accident that killed someone — and his son is the driver.
The victim’s father is a crime boss, and he hunts the killer himself.
Two fathers become monsters to protect their children, and the story tracks what that costs.
The title is the honorific used to address a judge in court, which sets up the irony: the man expected to uphold the law is burying a crime.
The Korean title works the same way, as does the Japanese one, YOUR HONOR～許されざる判事～.
Cast: Son Hyun-joo and Kim Myung-min face off
Son Hyun-joo plays judge Song Pan-ho.
Kim Myung-min plays Kim Kang-heon, the Woowon Group chairman and crime boss.
It is the first time the two actors have shared a screen.
Around them: Kim Do-hoon as the judge’s son Song Ho-young, Heo Nam-jun as the boss’s eldest son Kim Sang-hyuk, and Jung Eun-chae as prosecutor Kang So-young of the Woowon District Prosecutors’ Office.
The drama was directed by Yoo Jong-seon and written by Kim Jae-hwan, who also wrote Boyhood.
It aired on ENA and Genie TV in the Monday–Tuesday 10 PM slot, right after the hit Crash.
Both leads are veteran actors, and the two-hander setup is the reason to watch.
The Kvodo remakes: one story, nine countries
Your Honor is a remake of the Israeli drama Kvodo.
That same story has been remade in about nine countries.
The best-known is the US version on Showtime with Bryan Cranston, which ran two seasons.
Germany, Spain, and Italy each made one, and India produced a two-season version in 2021.
Director Yoo Jong-seon said the Israeli original centered on ethnic conflict, and the Korean version moved that conflict into Korean society.
The international remake track record is one reason the Korean version drew attention beyond Korea.
The ending drew mixed reviews: the theme that the price of sin cannot be avoided comes through clearly, but the story closes on an open note that points at a second season.
Season 2 status and where to watch
Take One Studio announced Season 2 planning on July 17, 2025.
No broadcast date, plot, or cast has been confirmed since.
Treat everything beyond ‘planning stage’ as unknown until an official update.
As for watching: all 10 episodes are on Netflix as of August 2026, and the series remains on Genie TV.
Rakuten Viki also carries the Korean Your Honor for streaming outside Korea, which is the confirmed international option.
One warning before you search: ENA aired a different show called Honor: Her Courtroom in February 2026, based on a Swedish series.
It is a completely separate drama, and the two titles are easy to mix up in search results.
