Netflix's first Korean variety show "Busted!" will wrap up its run with season 3, set to be released Jan. 22.
The show that combines crime drama with escape-room-style challenges has enjoyed international popularity since its first season in 2018 with suspenseful plots and star-studded cast.
"I started the show with a question: 'What is the best outcome of an investigation?' Is it catching a bad guy or preventing a crime?," the show's co-producer Cho Hyo-jin said through Netflix Tuesday.
"I hope the audiences will enjoy the not-so-expert and clumsy, yet kindhearted detectives' handling of the crimes."

The series star TV personalities ― comedian Yoo Jae-suk, actors Lee Seung-gi and Park Min-young, and singers Kim Jong-min, Oh Se-hun and Kim Se-jeong ― as amateur investigators solving the mysteries in a set.
As the investigators work on the cases, they attempt to unravel a mysterious "Project D."
The final episode will reveal the truth of the project and its connection to the detectives. It will also bring back stars from the previous season, including actor Lee Kwang-soo.
