This is a live-update article and it will be updated as new details about Wu Assassins Season 2 come our way. This is what we know so far.
'Wu Assassins' is one of those Netflix shows that felt like a hidden treasure for those who discovered it. The streaming platform released the show silently on August 8, 2019. Although there is not much done to market the 'Wu Assassins' like other giant Netflix shows, those who discovered it fell in love with it. 'Wu Assassins' came with an oddly irresistible mixture of Kung Fu, Asian Street Food, and Science Fiction, with Iko Uwais starring as a Chinese-Indonesian chef who turns out to be the last of the Wu Assassins. The series ran a total of ten episodes with six directors. Now, three years after the first season aired, fans only have one question: Is season two happening? Let's dig deeper to find out.
As of this writing, there is still no official confirmation for the renewal of Wu Assassins season 2. What's On Netflix reported that the show was reportedly renewed but this information hasn't been officially confirmed by Netflix. However, Netflix ordered a standalone film that will continue the ending of Wu Assassins season 1. The film is titled Wu Assassins: Fistful of Vengeance. The movie finished filming in April 2021 in Thailand and was released on Netflix on February 17, 2022.
That’s a wrap on “Fistful of Vengeance”.

Series cast members starred in the film. They are Iko Uwais, Lewis Tan, Lawrence Kao, and JuJu Chan Szeto. In addition, Pearl Thusi, Francesca Corney, Jason Tobin, and Rhatha Phongam.
According to Variety, a source tells them that there is still a possibility for the show to return for a second season or another standalone story.
What Is Likely To Happen In 'Wu Assassins' Season 2?
If season 2 will ever be confirmed, we're more likely to see more action scenes now that season 1 has finished introducing the world and backstory of Wu Assassins. Speaking to Inverse, Lewis Tan revealed, "We have the backstory set in stone. We don't have to go there again."
The actress who plays Lu Xin in the show added that they can now run wild with the action, and they don't need to sell the backstory as hard as they did in the first season. By the end of the first season, we see Ying Ying telling Kai that the world still needs a Wu Assassin, a statement that resonates deeply with the fans of the show.
We are likely to see Iko Uwais continue his role as the Wu Assassin Kai Jin. Celia Au, who portrays Ying Ying, Kai's mentor in becoming a Wu Assassin, is also likely to return. Other characters to look out for are Lewis Tan as Lu Xin Lee (Kai's friend and owner of Lee's Wheels), and Li Jun Li as Jenny Wah (Kai's friend and owner of Master Wah's restaurant).
We will keep you posted with updates as soon as we hear new details.
