Season 2
Season 1 only gave us half of what Land of the Gods had to offer, so there is plenty of material to pick up where it left off. Let’s start with the most obvious plot. TThe undead horde is only moments away from attacking Sangju. Much to the horror of Prince Chang and his fellow defenders, the undead are still active as long as the sun shines, raising the stakes higher and higher.
Meanwhile, Queen Cho hasn’t done anything right. After her fake pregnancy backfires, the Queen plots to steal a boy from the first woman in the group of pregnant women. The first born male will take the throne as heir to the Cho clan, thus depriving the crown prince of his rights to the kingdom.
That said, the trailer revealed just information that we can expect the same stunning visuals and design that made us pale in Season 1. We also have four words left: There will be blood.
