The Devil's Plan: Death Room OTT Release Date - When and where to watch return of hit Korean reality game show

The Devil's Plan: Death Room OTT Release Date - After a nail-biting first season, this Korean game show is back with even more mind games, twisted strategies, and high-stakes drama. Titled The Devil’s Plan: Death Room, this second season of the mental survival reality series is all set to premiere on May 6, 2025, on Netflix.

This season promises to raise the bar with sharper minds, deeper betrayals, and a fresh set of intellectual warriors battling it out over seven intense days. If you’re someone who enjoys smart gameplay, shifting alliances, and unpredictable outcomes, this show is made for you.

What is The Devil’s Plan? (Season 1 Recap)

The Devil’s Plan made its debut in 2023 and quickly became a fan favourite for its unique format - think of it as part escape room, part mind sport, part psychological warfare. Created and directed by Jeong Jong-yeon, who’s also known for hits like The Genius and The Great Escape, the show gathered 12 participants from different professional backgrounds (doctors, lawyers, actors, gamers, and YouTubers) and locked them together for a week-long battle of wits.

They faced two types of challenges daily. First was ‘Main Matches’, where all players competed together, and the second was ‘Prize Matches’, where winners gained more time outside the game zone and collected pieces - a form of currency in the game. These pieces could be used to buy advantages or even form pacts. But there was always a catch: only one player could win the final prize.

The total prize pool was 500 million Korean Won (approx. USD 370,000), and after all the mind games, YouTuber and science communicator Ha Seok-jin emerged as the winner.

What’s new in Season 2: Death Room?

Titled Death Room, this new season isn’t only a continuation but a complete upgrade in format and tension. Everything is deeper and deadlier with more complex rules, sharper strategic gameplay, unexpected twists in alliances and a darker setting filled with secrets. Just like before, players will be isolated and tested not on trust, betrayal, teamwork, and pure mental stamina.
