Not much has been said about the third season by the cast or director; However, in one Interview with The Korean TimesLead actor Woo Do Hwan expressed his interest in a third season when asked about the season 3 teaser at the end of the second season:
“I’m now wondering if I’ll ever be able to deliver such intense action without ‘Bloodhounds’. It would seem too early to end it in Season 2. I want to take this story to the X-Men Wolverine’s endless saga – the possibilities seem endless.
Does Bloodhounds need a season 3?
Without a doubt, Bloodhounds needs a third season. Kim Geon Yoo and Hong Yoo Jin’s confrontation with Im Baek Jeong led to the loan shark being sent to prison, where he was believed to have been killed, after a photograph of the murder was sent to Hong Min Beom. However, his death was faked, and instead of serving a prison sentence, he is enlisted as a Bloodhound for a large criminal organization.
