On June 9th SBS confirmed that Lee Je Hoon, Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin, Jang Hyuk Jin, and Bae Yoo Ram will be returning to the new season of "Taxi Driver." 

It was also confirmed that "Taxi Driver 2" will premiere in the first half of 2023 and it will exclusively air on SBS. 

"Taxi Driver 2" will base its story on the webtoon of the same name. Just like the first season, the drama will narrate the stories of victims who are not protected by law and how the Rainbow taxi company will do its best to help them.

The first season of the drama garnered high ratings last year. The drama received over 16 percent in ratings according to Nielsen Korea.
