Big Bet, on Disney Plus Hotstar, tells the story of a man who fights his way to the top as a casino kingpin in the Philippines, only to experience a series of unfortunate events. After being charged for a murder that he did not commit, he faces the ultimate bet, with his life on the line to get back in the game. In this Goggler exclusive, we spoke to the director and cast about the inspiration for the series, and how the actors deal with creating characters that are both good and bad.

After a rollercoaster first season that saw the rough and violent rise, and potential fall, of Korean casino mogul Cha Moosik, Season 2 of Big Bet will follow Moosik as he once again tries to save himself and the life he has built.

Starring Choi Minsik as successful Casino mogul Cha Moosik, Big Bet also stars Sohn Seokgu (My Liberation Notes, Romance Without Love), Lee Donghwi, (Extreme Job, New Year Blues, Method Acting, Reply 1988), and Heo Sungtae (Squid Game, Adamas, Hunt), and is directed by Kang Yunsung (The Outlaws) – the winner of the Best New Director at the 54th Baeksang Arts Awards and the 23rd Chunsa Film Art Awards.

Season 2 of Big Bet is now streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar.
