Single's Inferno, is Netflix's popular South Korean reality dating game show, that features 12 singles (6 men, 6 women) who are stranded on a deserted island together. The singles are only given a few resources, and the only way they can escape the island to a luxury hotel (referred to as "Paradise") is if they romantically match for date nights. The 12 participants are only allowed to talk about their age and profession in the "Paradise" hotel.
The nine-episode show became a global sensation after it premiered on Dec. 18, 2021, and although Netflix hasn't renewed the show for a second season, the show's creators, Kim Jae-won and Kim Na-hyun, explain what changes could be made if Single's Inferno Season 2 gets the green light.
What would the creators of Single's Inferno change if the show gets a Season 2?
Neither Netflix nor the creators of Single’s Inferno have confirmed working on a second season, but after positive response from audiences who enjoyed the show, the creators are open to renewing it. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that producers and creators, Kim Jae-won and Kim Na-hyun explained what they would change if they renewed the series for Single's Inferno Season 2.
“From the feedback we’ve heard from the contestants, they pointed out that the time period of eight nights and nine days seem to be too short for them to really get to know each other, so we might consider expanding the number of days,” explained Kim.
Single Inferno fans would agree that the time frame is too short, especially for the new contestants who entered the island in the show's fifth episode. In a Q&A video between An Yea-won and Hyun-seung, he said, “It was too short for me… The time was too short for me to express something. It felt like it was over without even starting.”
The creators also explain that they would consider diversifying the contestants’ games in the show. “We do not believe that the concept of Single’s Inferno will drastically change for Season 2,” Kim said. According to the creators, the show would still keep the concept of cutting off contestants from the outside world because it added a level of realism as they “were sometimes clumsy and awkward even though they’re highly attractive people.”
It's likely that it's just a matter of time before Netflix renews Single's Inferno for a second season. You can read more about the potential Single's Inferno Season 2 here.
