Sequels pushed for TEN, Vampire Prosecutor, but look to spinoff series instead

by javabeans

So, good news and bad news about two of OCN’s highly anticipated sequels. In light of the movement on OCN’s upcoming thriller Special Missing Persons Task Force M (or just M), with casting proceeding with Kim Kang-woo, Park Hee-soon, and Jo Boa, the cable station has announced that Special Affairs Team TEN won’t get its third season this year. And neither will Vampire Prosecutor.

Both dark, stylish crime thrillers have been hinting at sequel seasons ever since they went off the air, and fans have been hoping for positive news ever since Vampire Prosecutor 2 wrapped in late 2012 and TEN 2 in mid-2013. To look for a silver lining, however, both sequels are still on the table, according to an OCN rep’s statement on the 28th, and that’s frankly more hope than I had for a Vampire Prosecutor 3 (even though that ending! It’s just screaming for a follow-up!).

I’d say TEN 3 looks likelier of the two at this point, but we’re looking at 2016 at the earliest, since its director will be tied up working on M. I’d sort of given up any expectation of getting a VP3, but on the upside, that franchise’s producers are currently working on a spinoff series titled Vampire Private Investigator. No word yet on what that’s about… but lemme guess. There’s this vampire. Who investigates stuff. I’m gonna say he’s hot and broody. It’s OCN, so there’ll be blood, flashy action, and a whole lotta style. Sign me up.

M will premiere in March as a 10-episode mystery thriller. Vampire Private Investigator will come later in the year.

That smoldering picture of Yeon Jung Hoon just rekindled my need for Vampire Prosecutor 3.

I cant wait for it either!!! My mind still lingers back to the scene of the last episode. And so many questions remain! I wonder if and when they come out with the vampire prosecutor 3, they answer them.

Kdramas will continue to own my soul whether it's 2016 or 2026 or 2056. And possibly beyond that, in an after life :p

Aww... kakashi *pat pat* TEN3 and VP3 are like your Song Jae-rim, you're always waiting for their comeback.

OCN gave us Bad Guys last year and you liked it. Maybe you'll like M too?

I am with you Kakashi... The sadness.

On the other hand by the looks of it I will be out of uni, which should give me time to actually watch once it starts.. And yet. That's a looooooooong time to wait for TEN 3

Aw, I was really hoping for a Ten 3 soon. VP3 too. But I can deal, once they're not totally out of talks and we get them in the future.

I'm anticipating the spin-off series. Hope to hear good casting news soon.

I... I am so happy! VP3 isn't a go... yet, but I could be, and that's all that matters! As for Vampire Private Investigator, it sounds like it'd be fun! Hoping against hope that it is and that VP3 comes out at some point!

I caught myself thinking 2016 was a long time away, but it's just next year, lol. Even if the sequels don't come then, there'll be plenty of other dramas to occupy my time.

I haven't watched VP yet.... mebe I should. I've been liking OCN shows lately.

Honestly I'd rather have Vampire Prosecutor 3 than Ten. Don't get me wrong I love Ten but if I remember correctly they've solved the big case in Yeo Ji-hoon's past right so the main story is over, but Vampire Prosecutor with that cliff hanger of an ending the story isn't over.

month late reply, but why not? yeo ji hoon's big case was never solved. the guy they arrested isn't the real killer and in the end, they show a silhouette of a mysterious guy getting released from jail.

Watch and enjoy the angst. I have made up my own personal ending for VP and it will stay that way until the next season is out. That's the only way I can survive.

Always wondered why OCN doesn't consider short series crossovers! Like M x TEN haha that would be interesting.

Now that would be good. Even just a special episode so we could find out what happened after the cliffhanger of VP2.

Grumble grumble. Fine play hard to get then, maybe I'll wait, maybe I won't. In the meantime somebody stop our monster who chases monsters from choosing abysmal roles so the abyss won't gaze into him too deep. If Joo Sang-wook chooses another subpar rom-com in the interim I may not care by then.

Aaah gosh OCN. Not a fan of VP. But Ten and Bad Guys definitely need sequels, prequels, prologues, epilogues whatever they can squeeze out of them. I'd savour every drop. M seems right up my alley as well so I'm excited for it! I can already feel the awesome. I will forgive OCN for pushing back Ten if they do a sequel to Bad Guys. Please OCN, pleaaaaaase.

I love these 2 series so much, and I was looking forward to their sequels but frankly speaking I didn't have much expectations due to the lack of official news. Well at least this gave me some hope?........ (please let the sequels happen!)
Looking forward to M and Vampire Private Investigator~

Good news. I'm really hoping for a TEN 3. With all the original cast members of course. And closure to TEN 1 since TEN 2 veered off in an unexpected direction.

I think I may have part of the answer on the delay for Vampire Prosecutor 3. The actor, Kim Joo Young, who portrays Choi Dong Man is in national service. He's about 1 yr +++ more to go? And he looks soo different with a cropped haircut!

Also, perhaps the other cast are all very busy atm, with existing contracts and obligations, to fulfill.
