Has The First Night With The Duke been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, KBS2 have not renewed The First Night With The Duke for season 2. Given the ratings over the weeks, it'll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up.
The ratings began with a respectable 3.3% share nationwide but since then, the show has been increasing in popularity with every passing week, with the later episodes hovering around the same all season long, with highs of 3.4% nationwide.
Regardless of ratings, it's extremely rare to find Korean dramas renewed for another season. That has changed in recent years but given the sheer wealth of talent in this that are sure to move onto other projects, we predict that The First Night With The Duke will not be renewed for a second season. On top of that, this is billed as a limited series which only has 1 season.
We'll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 right now. Given most Korean dramas are reserved to one season, it's rare to find these sort of shows renewed. With the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.) then it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed.
Having said that though, we have seen Taxi Driver and Tale of the Nine Tailed renewed recently, alongside Alchemy of Souls too. Given how steady the ratings are for this series, could we see this one buck the trend? It seems very unlikely that The First Night With The Duke will, but you never know! We'll be sure to update this section when we know more.

Love Island couple OVER just days after leaving villa as he's pictured all over Towie star
LOVE Island stars Ben Holbrough and Andrada Pop have split just days after leaving the villa - as he's spotted all over a Towie star. The taxi driver, 23, and the nail technician, 27, vowed to give their romance a go on the outside after they were dumped from the villa following a public vote. 9 9 9 9 9 But just days after they gushed over each other on Love Island's Aftersun, the pair seem to have already called it a day. Last night, Ben was spotted putting on a cosy display with Towie star Dani Imbert, 27, at the St Moritz summer party. They were seen whispering in each other's ear, holding hands and then proceeded to enjoy a string of kisses at Broadwick Soho. A source said 'There was instant attraction from the moment they met - they spent two hours kissing at the party it was all very intimate. "It's clearly very much over with Andrada as Dani seemed to be the only thing on his mind." Days after their exit, the pair appeared on podcast Ben shared how he's had a "reality check" after fans branded him "vile". He said: "We had Yasmin, Toni, Shakira - I had my run-ins with them. The thing is, it was all such silly things as well. "Not using it as an excuse, but feelings and emotions are just so heightened. It's the littlest things that can trigger you." Love Island's Ben admits he's had a 'reality check' after fans branded him 'vile' Ben continued: "For me, the way I went about it, I should've went about it so much more differently. The way I spoke, the language and stuff. "It's not until I watched it back that you realise - obviously with certain situations in life, you have arguments. "But you never see it back. You're never in a position where you can watch it back and see how you actually were. "I think me actually watching it back especially, gave me like a real reality check of, 'I don't like how I spoke'." She added: "We're just taking it day by day and getting to know each other more and more." Ben entered the ITV2 villa on Day 1, where he was initially coupled up with Shakira. However, bombshell Toni arrived as the first big twist and "stole" the hunk away. He would ultimately later recouple with Shakira - and also explored connections with Yasmin and Helena. By Casa Amor, he and Shakira had recoupled again but had no romantic spark between them. Upon meeting the new girls, Ben and Andrada soon hit off and began their connection. They were coupled up in the main villa, before ultimately being dumped from the island after receiving the fewest public votes. 9 9 9 9

AFL great Wayne Carey reveals he has fled Australia to 'escape from reality' in Asia after his alleged 'toilet tryst' video went viral
Wayne Carey has fled the country after his alleged 'toilet tryst' dominated headlines. The former AFL star, who has earned himself the nickname 'Toilet Duck' thanks to the now viral video, revealed on Sam Newman's podcast You Cannot Be Serious that he was currently enjoying a vacation with his family somewhere in Asia. 'Couldn't be better where I am,' 54-year-old Wayne said on Wednesday. 'No one knows where you are, and where I am, who I am. Just a beautiful part of the world this is.' He went on to hint that his problems back at home hadn't gone away just because he'd left the country. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm not Australia's most wanted at the minute. Anyone that wants to escape from reality, take four children, put them on a plane and if you think you're escaping from reality - you're kidding yourself.' In the podcast episode, Wayne revealed that he was sitting poolside alongside his partner Jessica Paulke. Podcast host Sam, who guessed that Wayne was in Malaysia, went on to explain the reason behind Wayne's sudden trip. 'Just withdrawn from the public arena for the time being, just to gather yourself,' he said. 'You've got on a plane with your four children and you've left the country.' In response, Wayne quipped: 'I'm not going to be on Banged Up Abroad.' Carey added that he was away to 'get out of the mainstream', taking his children along despite it not being the school holidays. 'I've pulled the kids out of school and said let's do it now. One, because it's not as busy, two, we'll make it educational,' Carey said. A few weeks ago, Wayne made headlines after he was filmed emerging from a bathroom at a trendy Melbourne bar within a couple of seconds of a woman. The footage, which was taken at the Toorak Cellars bar in Armadale in the city's inner south-east, shows Wayne and Kate Aston, 38, a Melbourne marketing and communications executive, walking into view around 20 seconds apart. A female voice is heard saying 'we've got you on camera' as the woman walks past, before asking 'What's he doing in there?' and remarking, 'She looks embarrassed'. Wayne and Kate have both lashed out over the video, with the ex-AFL star branding it 's**t shaming' and cyberbullying, and both parties insisting there was no 'tryst' in the toilets.
