Apple has shared the official trailer for the second season of 'Pachinko,' its drama series by creator and executive producer Soo Hugh.
The trailer debuts a brand-new moving cover of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" by global superstar Rosé of the record-breaking K-pop group BLACKPINK. In addition to debuting as the series' trailer anthem, Rosé's cover is featured in the "Pachinko" season two finale.
Based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, "Pachinko" is a sweeping and deeply moving story of love and survival across four generations, told through the eyes of remarkable matriarch, Sunja. In season two, parallel stories pick up in Osaka in 1945, where Sunja is forced to make dangerous decisions for her family's survival during World War II, and in Tokyo in 1989, where Solomon explores new, humble beginnings.
The first season received 11 international awards, including a Peabody Award, an American Film Institute Award, a Critics Choice Award and a Gotham Independent Film Award. Season two stars Lee Minho, Yuh-Jung Youn, Minha Kim, Jin Ha, Anna Sawai, Eunchae Jung, Soji Arai, Junwoo Han and Sungkyu Kim.
Produced for Apple TV+ by the studio Media Res, "Pachinko" is created and written by Hugh who serves as executive producer. The series is executive produced by Media Res' Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer, and Blue Marble Pictures' Theresa Kang. Season two is directed by Leanne Welham, Arvin Chen and Sang-il Lee.
Told in three languages — Korean, Japanese and English — the eight-episode second season of "Pachinko" will premiere globally on Friday, August 23, with one episode, followed by one episode weekly every Friday through October 11.
