Gyeongseong Creature has a total of 10 episodes. The first seven episodes were released on December 22, 2023. The last episode released left a huge cliffhanger ending as to who could turn into the new monster.

We'll have to wait until January 5, 2024, to find out more about Gyeongseong Creature. The second part of the series will only have three episodes, which we hope will be enough to satisfy the curiosity of its viewers.

There's no word on whether a second season is possible. But there's lots of room for that on the table, depending on the trajectory of the second part's ending. The Najin parasite could be brought to another Korean city where a new experiment will be conducted.

For now, we'll have to wait until the second part gets released.
