Agent Kim Reactivated has 10 episodes. It began on June 26, 2026, Episode 9 aired July 24, and the finale aired July 25. So Ji-sub plays an apparently ordinary office worker whose daughter’s disappearance forces him to reveal his old black-ops skills.

Netflix release date, episode schedule and time

Netflix Tudum confirms that episodes were released on Friday and Saturday starting June 26. SBS identified the July 24 installment as Episode 9 and the July 25 broadcast as the finale, confirming a 10-episode run.

Netflix’s official pages do not publish one universal clock time for this weekly title. Netflix’s help guide says weekly episodes or shows that follow an original broadcast can vary from its usual release pattern. Check the title page inside your own Netflix account for the exact local availability; the date and time can differ by territory.

The official Netflix page names So Ji-sub, Choi Dae-hoon and Yoon Kyung-ho as the leading cast. Netflix’s fuller cast guide also lists Joo Sang-uk, Son Na-eun, Seo Su-min and Yu Ji-ahn.

Story and source webtoon

Mr. Kim has built a quiet life around raising his teenage daughter, Kim Min-ji. When she fails to return home, the evidence points toward a kidnapping. His search reconnects him with former agents and exposes the dangerous past behind his ordinary salaryman image.

The series adapts the webtoon Manager Kim, written by Toy and illustrated by Jeong Jong-taek. Netflix credits Nam Dae-jung as writer and Yi Seung-young and Lee So-eun as directors.

Why international viewers are finding it

In Netflix’s published global chart for July 6–12, 2026, Agent Kim Reactivated ranked No. 1 among non-English TV titles with 9.1 million calculated views. Netflix defines a view for this chart as total hours watched divided by runtime, so the number is not a count of unique viewers.

Availability, subtitle options and the exact local release time can vary by country. The Netflix title page is the safest place to check what is available in a specific account region.

How the finale actually ends

SBS’s coverage of the July 25 finale describes a coordinated operation: three operatives work together to rescue the kidnapped children and dismantle the criminal organization behind the scheme, and the finale confirms that the show’s central corruption thread — tied to Juhak Construction — is exposed. Having settled that plot, the episode gives Mr. Kim and his daughter Min-ji new identities and the start of ordinary civilian lives, closing the season’s core mission.

The finale does not end there, though. SBS’s report notes a final scene in which Agent Kim attends an unusual job interview at a manpower agency — a deliberately odd, loose-thread moment placed right at the end. Min-ji, worried about starting over, is told by her father, in effect, “let’s just say I was reborn,” a line SBS frames as optimistic about their fresh start even as the interview scene leaves open the possibility that his old life is not entirely finished with him.

Does the ending set up a second season?

SBS’s own framing treats the interview scene as a deliberate hook rather than a stray detail, describing it as raising expectations for a possible continuation. That is a reasonable reading of how the scene is staged, but it is a reading of the finale’s tone, not a renewal. Neither Netflix nor SBS is cited here confirming a Season 2, a spin-off or any further Agent Kim story. Treat the interview scene as an intentionally open door and nothing more until an official renewal announcement exists.

Reading the chart number correctly

Netflix’s global Top 10 methodology counts a “view” as total hours streamed divided by the title’s runtime, which means the 9.1 million figure for the July 6–12 week measures viewing volume, not a headcount of unique accounts, and it reflects only part of the show’s run since new episodes were still airing during that window. A No. 1 debut in that partial week is a strong early signal, not a final tally of the show’s total audience.

Quick questions

Does Agent Kim Reactivated end on a cliffhanger? The central kidnapping and corruption plot is resolved, but the finale’s closing scene — Mr. Kim’s job interview — is deliberately left open rather than explained.

Is a second season confirmed? No. The ending invites that reading, but no official renewal has been referenced in the Netflix or SBS sources checked here.

What does the webtoon source tell us about where the story could go next? The series already adapts the webtoon Manager Kim for its first season; whether any unadapted material from the source exists to carry a second season is not addressed in the sources cited in this guide.
