As of now, it hasn’t been confirmed definitively that Pachinko will have a third season, since an official renewal hasn’t taken place.

However, it certainly seems the intention is there from the show’s creatives.

Showrunner Soo Hugh expressed her desire for the series to span four seasons, aiming to fully realize her vision of the story as depicted in the novel.

Personally, I, as a devoted movie enthusiast, can’t help but share my excitement about the possibility of another season, just like Minha Kim did when she spoke with Town & Country.

She expressed that she truly enjoys returning to Pachinko, as it feels like a place where her family is and where she belongs.

It’s unclear at this point when the third season of Pachinko will premiere on Apple TV+, as it may take some time. Given that the second season was released over two years following the debut of the first, we might be in for a longer wait.

Here’s hoping that season 3 can be produced and released at a quicker rate than season 2, but even with a slightly faster schedule, we’d imagine the earliest we could expect new episodes to be released would be sometime in 2026.
