Initially, there was no official confirmation of a full special or bonus episode beyond the standard 12 episodes. The show ran from August 23 to September 28, 2025, on tvN, and is available internationally on Netflix.
However, a new development emerged: MyDramaList News reported that the production plans to release a Bon Appetit Your Majesty special episode featuring Lim Yoon-A, Lee Chae-Min, and other cast members—likely as a behind-the-scenes or extra-content piece rather than a narrative “episode.”
So while this isn’t a full “episode” in the traditional sense, it does mean fans can expect bonus content related to the show. Keep an eye on tvN, Netflix, and official social media for the drop.

The finale concluded on a hopeful note: the leads reunited in modern Seoul and opened a restaurant together. Some fans appreciated the sweet conclusion, but many voiced frustration over its execution.
- A number of viewers criticized the ending as “rushed” and said it failed to wrap up key plotlines with sufficient depth.
- Others felt the 12-episode format constrained character development and emotional resonance.
- Still, a portion of the fanbase praised the hopeful, romantic tone, seeing the modern reunion and “happily ever after” as fitting for the story.
The split reaction highlights both how invested fans were in the characters—and how expectations clashed with the limitations of a compact series format.

As of now, there is no confirmation of a second season. The finale resolves most major plot arcs, giving a sense of closure even as some threads remain open.
- Lim Yoon-a has acknowledged the strong fan interest in a Season 2, but clarified that no formal discussions are taking place. She expressed willingness to return if the opportunity arises.
“I haven’t heard anything about season 2 yet. But if the story continues and all the actors can come back together, I would love to do it.”
- Analysts suggest the ending leaves room for expansion, especially in exploring how the leads adjust to modern life. But these are possibilities rather than confirmed plans.
- Fans continue to push for a continuation, especially hoping for more in the leads’ present-day lives, but nothing official has surfaced yet.
One thing we can’t help but agree with though is:

In short: it’s unlikely that there will be a full special episode. But Bon Appétit, Your Majesty will release a special video featuring the cast.
