Due to the ending, many fans were asking for another season but in a tweet, Gong Yoo confirmed that there will be no Season 2 for "Goblin"."Goblin" had a total of 16 episodes and the last one aired on January 21.

The author, Kim Eun Sook, received the title best writer in Korea thanks to her success in creating the drama which was considered to be perfect in every way. The fantasy, historical, and modern elements captivated the audience as evidenced by the impressive ratings of the series. After the drama's ending, there have been a lot of rumors that there is going to be a sequel that would finally give viewers a satisfactory ending. The drama may have had a happy ending but it is a bit open ended.

The happy ending did not sit well with some fans which served as fodder for rumors that "Goblin" is going to have another season. From Gong Yoo's comment, however, it seems that these rumors are all false and "Goblin" season 2 is not going to happen.
