Farewell Sweet Home: Sweet Home season 4 isn't happening at Netflix

As a dedicated gamer and binge-watcher of horror series, I was beyond excited when the first season of “Sweet Home” dropped on Netflix at the end of 2020. The blend of horror, action, and suspense kept me hooked from the very beginning. I was in awe as I watched the series break new grounds for South Korean content on the streaming platform, making it to the Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) list.

At the onset of last December, when the initial installment of “Sweet Home” debuted on Netflix, it was an underdog without a clear path to success. However, against all odds, it became a sensation on the streaming service, reaching new heights as the first South Korean production to appear in Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV charts. As per Netflix’s disclosure, approximately 22 million viewers tuned in within the first month of its release.

In June 2022, Netflix announced that the horror series had been a huge hit with its audience, leading to the renewal of not just one but two more seasons. At that time, it kept the news about a third season under wraps. We later learned in June 2024, just a month before the third season’s premiere, that this would be the show’s final installment.

In the first season of “Sweet Home,” which is adapted from the beloved Korean webtoon created by Kim Karnby and Hwang Young-chan, we meet Cha Hyun-su, a young man of 19 who has endured the heart-wrenching loss of his entire family in an unfortunate car accident. Seeking a fresh start, he moves into the dilapidated Green Home apartment complex. However, his new beginning is short-lived as bizarre occurrences begin to unfold. He witnesses his fellow residents transforming into monstrous creatures, fueled by their deepest desires and fears. To ensure their own survival, Cha Hyun-su and the other tenants must unite and face the horrors that lie ahead.

As a devoted gamer, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard that Sweet Home season 2 dropped on Netflix in December 2023. Filled with thrilling action and captivating storylines, it was a true delight to re-enter the intriguing world of Sweet Home. With fans eagerly anticipating more adventures, we all prepared ourselves for the next installment. However, what nobody saw coming was that the third season would be the final chapter in this gripping series.

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with fellow “Sweet Home” fans! On June 11, 2024, Netflix made an official announcement about our beloved series. They revealed that season 3 of “Sweet Home” is set for release and marked the occasion with a special note: this will be the final chapter of our journey together. To read the full announcement from the source, follow the link below.

As a dedicated gamer following the thrilling journey of “Sweet Home,” I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of a fourth season. However, it seems that my hopes might have been misplaced. The creators initially intended for the show to span only three seasons, as they announced in a press release that the third season would serve as the epic finale. By wrapping up each character’s storyline in the third season, there wouldn’t be any unresolved plotlines left for a potential fourth season. Consequently, if “Sweet Home” were to continue beyond this point, it might lose its depth and cohesion.

Based on my experience working in the television industry, I strongly believe that the creative team behind this show had a clear vision for how they wanted to tell their story, and decided to bring it to a close after three seasons. This is not an uncommon occurrence in TV production; sometimes creators have a specific ending in mind and choose to stick to their plan.

Sweet Home season 3 is streaming now only on Netflix.
