Flex X Cop Season 2 Cast, New Characters and Disney+ Episode Schedule

Flex X Cop Season 2 brings back Ahn Bo-hyun’s wealthy detective Jin I-soo, but removes the safety of repeating the same partnership. After completing formal police-academy training, I-soo returns to Gangha Police Station as a more experienced officer. Waiting for him is Joo Hye-ra, the severe former instructor who once made his academy life miserable and is now the leader of Violent Crimes Unit 1.

The season premieres on SBS in South Korea on August 7, 2026, at 9:50 p.m. KST. Disney+ also lists the season from August 7, with additional episodes appearing across Fridays and Saturdays. The platform schedule indicates a weekly rollout rather than an all-at-once release.

Viewers who enjoy investigation teams with strong personalities may also want to read the cast guides for The Defeated and Blood Coast. Flex X Cop is lighter and more playful, but it similarly depends on friction between officers who approach crime from different backgrounds.

Ahn Bo-hyun as Jin I-soo

Ahn Bo-hyun returns as Jin I-soo, the third-generation chaebol who entered police work under unusual circumstances and discovered that money could become an investigative tool. I-soo does not treat wealth as something he should hide. He uses expensive vehicles, private access, media attention and family resources whenever conventional procedure reaches a dead end.

Season 2 gives that entertaining formula more credibility by sending him back to the unit after proper academy training. He is no longer only an outsider who happens to hold a badge. The new challenge is whether he can accept the discipline and chain of command expected of a professional detective without losing the unconventional instincts that make him effective.

Jung Eun-chae as Joo Hye-ra

Jung Eun-chae joins as Joo Hye-ra, a former ace in the National Police Agency’s counter-terrorism team. She volunteers to lead Violent Crimes Unit 1 and becomes I-soo’s direct supervisor. Her history as his feared police-academy instructor creates an immediate power imbalance: I-soo may be rich and famous, but Hye-ra already knows how he behaves when pushed beyond his comfort zone.

Hye-ra is designed as more than a replacement partner. Her counter-terrorism background suggests a tactical, physically capable investigator who has handled high-risk situations. She is described as stern but able to listen to her team, leaving room for the character to develop beyond the “devil instructor” reputation that I-soo remembers.

What happened to Park Ji-hyun’s Lee Kang-hyun?

Park Ji-hyun, who played Season 1 team leader Lee Kang-hyun, is not returning for Season 2 because of scheduling conflicts reported during the new season’s casting announcement. The story does not recast Lee Kang-hyun. Instead, it introduces Joo Hye-ra as a different character with her own relationship to I-soo and a different professional history.

That distinction matters for viewers searching for a direct continuation of the Season 1 partnership. Season 2 preserves the unit and several supporting characters, but its central duo is intentionally new.

Kang Sang-jun as Park Joon-young

Kang Sang-jun returns as Park Joon-young, an experienced detective whose steady approach helps ground the more theatrical aspects of I-soo’s investigations. Joon-young’s presence also provides continuity inside the unit while a new leader changes its internal rhythm.

Kim Shin-bi as Choi Kyung-jin

Kim Shin-bi reprises the role of Choi Kyung-jin. The younger detective often reflects the team’s reaction to I-soo’s unusual methods, moving between disbelief, curiosity and genuine admiration when a ridiculous-looking idea produces evidence.

Jung Ga-hee and Kim Myung-soo return

Jung Ga-hee returns as forensic specialist Yoon Ji-won, whose evidence-based work gives the team a necessary counterweight to I-soo’s instinct and showmanship. Kim Myung-soo is back as Choi Jung-hoon, I-soo’s trusted aide. Jung-hoon can access the chaebol world and manage practical details that ordinary detectives could never delegate to a private household employee.

What is Flex X Cop Season 2 about?

Season 2 follows Jin I-soo after his police training as he rejoins the violent-crimes team and discovers that Joo Hye-ra is now both his team leader and partner. Their personalities are described as opposites, but both are highly independent and confident in their own methods. The season’s comedy and tension will come from watching them move from a strained hierarchy toward functional cooperation.

SBS has also promoted a larger scale, including an overseas investigation. That expansion fits I-soo’s character because his resources become even more useful when a case crosses jurisdictions or requires access outside normal police channels. It also gives Hye-ra’s counter-terrorism experience a practical role in the plot.

The series is not a realistic police procedural, but it understands the satisfaction of watching a team combine different kinds of expertise. That makes it a useful companion to darker Netflix mysteries such as Sleeping Dog, especially for viewers who want more humor between cases.

Disney’s August listing confirms the Friday and Saturday pattern through the end of the month. The full season may continue beyond August, so the table above should be treated as the confirmed August streaming schedule rather than a complete episode count.

Where to watch Flex X Cop Season 2

The drama airs on SBS in South Korea and streams on Disney+ in supported international markets. The original first season is also being added to Disney+ in some regions, which allows new viewers to understand I-soo’s entry into the police force before starting Season 2. Regional availability and subtitle options may differ.
