Lookism seasons
Lookism has one anime season so far: eight episodes made by the Korean studio Studio Mir and directed by Kwang Il Han, all released at once on Netflix on 8 December 2022. The release had been set for 4 November 2022 and was postponed after the Halloween crowd crush in Seoul that October. The series adapts the opening arcs of Taejun Pak's webtoon, which has run on Naver Webtoon since November 2014 and was still publishing weekly in October 2026, so the anime covers only a small part of the story.

Season 1
Season 1 is eight episodes, all released on Netflix on 8 December 2022, with 'Like That' by ATEEZ as its theme song. It follows Daniel's first weeks at his new school: learning to live with two bodies, his job at a convenience store, his run-ins with Zack and the alliance with Vasco and Jiho. The final three episodes follow Duke's rap dream and his performance at the school festival.
Next season Not announced yet
As of November 2026, Netflix and Studio Mir have not announced a second season of Lookism. Netflix's page for the series still lists a single season of eight episodes, and a review of the news in April 2026 found no confirmation from either company. There is plenty of source material: the webtoon is still running weekly, with episode 620 posted on the English Webtoon site on 31 October 2026. We will update this page when an announcement is made.
