On November 2, 2017, a source from OCN confirmed production for the second season of Voice.

Reception

Ratings for Voice set new records for OCN dramas when it aired in Korea, proving to be a hit among viewers. It is one of the highest rated dramas in Korean cable television history and ranked first among cable TV dramas for many consecutive weeks.[7][8][9]

Halfway airing through the series, the drama was submitted for Korea's censorship board review due to viewers' complaints of it showing excessive violence.[10][11] It was subsequently issued an advisory warning.[12] OCN then changed its viewing rating from the original of 15+ to 19+ for episodes 11, 12 and 16 in order to make the story as realistic as possible.[13][14]
