Contains spoilers for 'Chicken Nugget'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: An amalgam of humor, intrigue, and touching moments can be found in the latest Netflix series, 'Chicken Nugget'.

Since the show's recent streaming premiere, viewers have been enamored with the bizarre comedy. Many have inquired as to whether a second season is in the pipeline.

The series, which is based on Park Ji-dok's Naver webtoon of the same name, stars Ryu Seung-ryong, Ahn Jae-hong, and Kim Yoo-jung, among others.

The show's ridiculously bizarre narrative revolves around Choi Seon-man (Ryu Seung-ryong), a father and businessman who holds the position of President in All Machines.

The man's life takes an unexpected turn when his daughter, Choi Min-ah (Kim Yoo-jung), enters one of his machines and transforms into a chicken nugget.

The story continues as the desperate father teams up with his intern, Go Baek-joong (Ahn Jae-hong), on a crazy quest to turn his daughter back into a human. 

The possibility for 'Chicken Nugget' Season 2 is slim

As things stand, there hasn't been any formal confirmation of a second chapter for the adventure that spanned ten episodes on Netflix

However, this does not necessarily suggest that the series will never have a second season.

Given the series' open finale, with Baek-joong traveling back in time immediately before Min-ah's metamorphosis into the chicken nugget, there are many more plotlines to explore.

Therefore, there is a lot more material for the second season that could further the story, but it all rests on the makers, who may base their choice on the first season's success.

What could be the possible plotlines for 'Chicken Nugget' Season 2?

The season finale has already laid the groundwork for a potential second season, with Min-ah failing to transition into human form.

The second season could perhaps go deeper into Seon-man and Beak-joong's bizarre mission to reclaim Min-ah, but this time they realize they are trapped in a time loop.

Furthermore, it would be interesting to learn about the origins of the mystery machine, which was shown to be a time machine in the season finale.

Season 2 might also delve deeper into the alien adventure, including cosmic travel that could result in hilarious cultural clashes on another world.

It would also be interesting to watch love develop between Baek-joong and Min-ah as a side plot.

'Chicken Nugget' is now streaming on Netflix
