‘Pachinko’ Season 2 Trailer Continues Sunja’s Saga As The End Of World War II Hits Japan
deadline.comThe trailer for Season 2 of Pachinko has arrived (above), and so has the end of World War II in the multigenerational saga that spans decades. “Your grandfather, he always wanted me to fly,” Sunja (Minha Kim) tells her son Noa Baek (Kang Tae ju) in the clip as a kite flies out in the fields where Sunja and her sister-in-law Kyunghee (Eunchae Jung) work.
Sunja and Kyunghee look up to see bomber plans flying in droves toward their hometown of Osaka, Japan. Rosé of BLACKPINK’s cover of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” starts up as Koh Hansu (Lee Minho) confronts Sunja after 14 years, telling her he never lost track of where she was.
In addition to featuring in the trailer, the cover will also play in Season 2’s finale. Based on Min Jin Lee’s 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 matriarch, Sunja.
Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series will premiere Friday, August 23 with one episode, and one episode will follow weekly through October 11.
