The Second Child

The Second Child, known in Korean as 그림자 아이, is scheduled for release on July 1, 2026. The film is a South Korean horror production with dialogue in Korean.

The narrative follows Su-an, who regains consciousness after three years in a coma and is immediately confronted by the ghost of her deceased sister — a presence that appears to be seeking help but cannot communicate its need clearly. Simultaneously, their mother Geum-ok, who has been living under the assumption that her firstborn died by suicide, begins her own investigation into the true cause of that death. The two threads converge as a centuries-old family curse gradually comes into focus. A further complication arises when the pair encounter Jae-in, a stranger who is the exact physical double of the dead sister.
