If Wishes Could Kill Premieres on Netflix With Open-Ended Finale and No Renewal Yet

Renewal hinges on the show's first-month performance.

Overview

  • The eight-episode Korean YA horror, which premiered Friday, April 24, 2026, is streaming worldwide on Netflix.
  • The series follows teens drawn into a wish-granting app with a deadly catch, and the season ends with a brief tease for possible continuation without giving away key plot points.
  • Netflix has not ordered a second season and typically waits about 28 days to weigh completion rates and Global Top 10 placement before deciding.
  • Director Park Youn-seo said at a South Korea press event that he is considering expanding the story, either as a new arc or by continuing the current narrative.
  • Industry reports note that, if renewed soon, a standard 12 to 18 month production cycle would suggest any return in late 2027 or early 2028, which remains a projection rather than a plan.
