The Star Hunter Lineup came a little later in the year than we would have anticipated, nonetheless they delivered a solid queue of projects that fans can look forward to in the days to come. The event was graced by new and familiar faces, and though we were a little disappointed not to see our favorite actors headlining the majority of shows, we appreciate the direction the production company has decided to take. Like the saying goes ‘New Is Always Better’. On that note, let’s take a look at what we can expect from Star Hunter in 2023:

Big Dragon the Movie
The story follows Yai (Bank Montop) and Mangkorn (Mos Panuwat) who are romantic rivals at first but grow to care deeply for each other after a series of mishaps between the two.
This was the biggest surprise of all at the lineup event. At the conclusion of ‘Big Dragon season 1’ Star Hunter made it clear that they wished to continue with the project and film a sequel in the form of a second season. They even went as far as introducing the plot for the second season at the end of season 1. During the announcement of the lineup, Star Hunter revealed that this year they would instead film a sequel in the form of a movie. When asked about why they decided to film a movie, IsBanky, who plays one of the lead roles said they were filming this movie for the fans. Viewers complained that that the lead couple didn’t share a lot of happy moments in the first season and they wanted to show a different side of the couple. It is also a way of saying thank you for supporting them throughout this entire journey. Whether Star Hunter still intends to film a second season, there has been no information on that regard.
