When "Queendom" concluded with favorable reviews that it was a rediscovery of a girl group in 2019, viewers wished for a sophomore season. However, Mnet took a tempo break with "Road to Kingdom" in 2020 and "Kingdom: Legendary War" in 2021.
Then, on December 13, rumors spread around an online community that Mnet's "Queendom" season 2 will air in March. Producer Park Chan Wook, who directed the show's male counterpart "Road to Kingdom" last year, will be reportedly in charge of directing and broadcast.
