Since the South Korean TV series Kingdom Season 2 aired its finale on March 13, 2020, the series viewers are eagerly waiting for the Season 3. Viewers will be happy to know that a special episode for the K-drama titled 'Kingdom: Ashin of the North' is scheduled for release in 2021.
The special episode will build upon the story introduced in Kingdom season 2. According to Netflix, the episode will unveil the background of Lee Chang, who along with his team travelled north to find out the truth about the infected.
Kingdom season 2 successfully hooked the audience's interest in the mysterious character Ashin played by Jun Ji-hyun (English name Gianna Jun) but did not reveal much about her background. Now the special episode coming fans are hopeful that they will be more about Ashin. Park Byung-eun will also join Jun in the sequel. Netflix releases Kingdom: Ashin of the North trailer. Watch the trailer below.
Furthermore, the horror-thriller Kingdom scored 8.4 out of 10 on IMDB and 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes which makes a path to have the Kingdom Season 3 in the future. The show is Netflix's first original Korean web series written by Kim Eun-hee and directed by Kim Seong-hun.
Peretz’s decision to follow Gantz into a government with Netanyahu – still no done deal at this hour – effectively decapitated both the Labor-Meretz union as well as Labor itself. With Peretz and Shmuley gone, the Israeli left is left with one Labor refugee, Meirav Michaeli, and three Meretz members, led by Nitzan Horowitz.
Besides, while speaking about Kingdom Season 3 or further seasons, the screenwriter Kim Eun-hee said to Hollywood Reporter 'Strangely enough, Kingdom is a series that gives me more energy the more I write it. The cast and crew all have great chemistry, and there's so much more to tell. If viewers allow, I would love to see it develop even up to season 10.'
The official release date for Kingdom Season 3 has yet to be announced, but it is expected the K-drama is expected to return on the Netflix in 2021. Stay tuned to Devdiscourse to get the latest updates on the Netflix series.

Arab Labor (Hebrew: עבודה ערבית, Avoda Aravit; Arabic: شغل عَرَب, Shughl Arab) is an Israelisitcom television series, created by Sayed Kashua.
History[edit]
The series premiered on Keshet Channel 2 in Israel in 2007. The second season was broadcast in 2008 and the third season in 2012.[1] The series, whose title in colloquial Hebrew carries the implication of 'shoddy or second-rate work',[2] focuses on the family and work situations of Amjad, an Arab-Israeli journalist. Much of the comedy is derived from the paradox of Amjad's love-hate relationship with his Arab identity and his simultaneous wish to integrate comfortably into Israeli society.[3]
Poking fun at the cultural divide, Kashua's characters play on religious, cultural and political differences to depict the mixed society prevalent in Israel.[2]
