Crash Season 2

About this title

Crash 2 (Korean subtitle: “Road of Rage”) is the second season of Crash (2024), ENA's crime procedural about T.C.I, a police team that investigates traffic crimes on the road; this season, T.C.I is a regional investigation unit under the National Office of Investigation and handles traffic crimes nationwide.

It premieres as an ENA Monday–Tuesday drama on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 10 p.m., and will also be available on KT Genie TV and Disney+. KT Studio Genie planned the series, and AStory, which also produced season 1, is producing it. Season 1 aired 12 episodes from May 13 to June 18, 2024. It opened with a 2.2% rating (Nielsen Korea, nationwide pay-TV households) and reached its series high in the final episode, 6.6% nationwide and 6.9% in the Seoul metropolitan area, which at the time made it the second-highest-rated ENA drama ever, after Extraordinary Attorney Woo (peak 17.5%). AStory announced in August 2024, two months after season 1 ended, that season 2 had been confirmed, and its scheduling for the second half of 2026 and its cast were made public in February 2026. ENA's official series page does not list a total episode count.

Park Joon-woo returns as director and Oh Soo-jin as writer. A former producer of SBS's Unanswered Questions, Park directed SBS's Taxi Driver (2021) and, after Crash, made MBC's Mary Kills People (2025) and ENA's The Scarecrow (2026). The Scarecrow, which took a real serial murder case as its motif, recorded an 8.1% rating for its 12th and final episode by Nielsen Korea's nationwide pay-TV household measure, ranking second among ENA dramas of all time. Oh said season 1 came about while talking about crime dramas with writer Kim Eun-hee, a friend: hearing that there were no traffic crime procedurals, Oh looked into the subject and learned that the police have traffic crime investigation teams. While writing, Oh visited the leader of a real traffic crime investigation team for advice, and said the Japanese drama Bayside Shakedown came to mind during the planning stage.

The season 1 cast returns in the same roles. Lee Min-ki plays Cha Yeon-ho, who graduated early from a science high school, entered KAIST's mathematics department with the top admission score, and uncovers the causes of incidents by simulating them in his head. Kwak Sun-young plays squad chief Min So-hee, who has martial arts and driving skills learned in the field and sees every case she takes on through to the end. Heo Sung-tae plays Jung Chae-man, the team leader who created T.C.I; the production team has teased that Jung, who lost his wife in a hit-and-run years ago, will chase new leads related to that case this season. Lee Ho-chul again plays Woo Dong-gi, who is strong at analyzing CCTV footage and data, and Moon Hee (Choi Moon-hee) again plays Eo Hyun-kyung, who is skilled in a range of martial arts including taekwondo, judo and boxing. Newcomer Park Ji-sung (NCT's Jisung) plays Ji Dae-se, a rookie officer in the Namgang Police Station traffic division who looks up to T.C.I and, having attended all sorts of martial arts gyms since childhood, is good at anything physical. Park Ji-sung appeared as a child actor in the drama Tree with Deep Roots and the film Unbowed, and this is his first acting role since becoming an adult. Footage of the script reading was released on October 13, followed by the first teaser video and poster on October 15.

When the cast was announced in February 2026, Lee Min-ki said that T.C.I's investigations would also become more advanced in order to solve traffic crimes that are more sophisticated than in season 1, adding that he was glad to meet Cha Yeon-ho again after a long time. Kwak Sun-young said she was happy that her wish to return for a second season had come true, and Heo Sung-tae said he hoped to unravel the hit-and-run case of Jung Chae-man's wife. Park Ji-sung said he wanted to show an impressive side of himself to viewers seeing his acting for the first time, and that he would learn step by step alongside the production team and senior actors. Talk of a second season had already come up while season 1 was airing. At the 2024 press conference, Lee Ho-chul said all the actors had wanted to do a season 2, and in an interview during the run, Oh Soo-jin named sudden unintended acceleration as the subject Oh most regretted not being able to include, saying it was something to explore if there were a season 2. Alongside the release of the script reading footage, the production team explained that with the scope of investigations expanded nationwide, the traffic crimes T.C.I faces will also be more sophisticated and larger in scale.
