Studio Dragon, the production company behind "The Glory," announced a lineup of brand-new series for the second half of the year.

With Netflix, Studio Dragon is set to release "Celebrity," "Song of the Bandits," "Gyeongseong Creature," "Sweet Home" season 2 and "Doona!," while with Disney+, the production company is preparing "Shadow Detective" season 2.

"Celebrity" tells the story of a social media influencer who climbs to fame only to face the consequences of the dark side of the glitzy influencers' world. Park Gyu-young, Lee Chung-ah and Kang Min-hyuk star in the series.

"Song of the Bandits" stars Kim Nam-gil, Seohyun, Lee Hyun-wook and more, and is set in the 1920s of Joseon, surrounding characters that include Japanese soldiers, independence fighters, thieves and others.

"Gyeongseong Creature" is another historical drama set in 1945, telling the story of two young people who fight for survival in the darkest times of Gyeongseong. Han So-hee plays a hunter named Yoon Chae-ok, and Park Seo-joon plays Jang Tae-sang, one of the wealthiest men in Gyeongseong.

The second season of "Sweet Home" will continue the story of Hyun-soo, played by Song Kang, and the residents of Green Home who leave Green Home to survive. Lee Jin-uk, Lee Si-young and Ko Min-si will star.

"Doona!," starring singer-turned-actor Suzy, is a romance drama that tells the story of ordinary college student Won-jun, who meets Doona, a retired idol who has left a glamorous life as a K-pop star to share a home with other young adults. Based on the popular webtoon series of the same name, Suzy stars as the titular Doona.

"Shadow Detective" season 2, also produced by Studio Dragon, will be released for streaming on Disney+ and will see the return of Lee Sung-min as Kim Taek-rok, a cop who gets framed for a murder and sets out to clear his name.

As drama series produced by Studio Dragon have swept streaming service charts in the first half of this year, including "The Glory," "Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow" and "Crash Course in Romance," the production company's lineup for the second half of the year is receiving much attention.
