Premiering Friday, Nov. 21 on SBS, the third chapter of the hit franchise (based on the webtoon of the same name) follows the clandestine Rainbow Taxi company and driver Kim Do-gi as they deliver payback for wronged victims. With previous seasons peaking at 21 percent nationwide ratings ― fifth among all Korean broadcast and cable dramas since 2023 ― anticipation is high for the return of this proven mega-IP.
On Nov. 5, producers unveiled a main poster spotlighting the Rainbow Five ― Lee Je-hoon (as Kim Do-gi), Kim Eui-sung (Jang Sung-chul), Pyo Ye-jin (Ahn Go-eun), Jang Hyuk-jin (Choi Kyung-gu), and Bae Yoo-ram (Park Jin-eon) ― signaling a flashy comeback.
The artwork puts the series’ signature ride front and center: Taxi No. 5283, revving up for its first run in two years. Perched atop the underground garage elevator, the cab’s headlights slice through the dark ― a shot designed to spark both nostalgia and adrenaline.
Inside the lit-up underground hideout, the Rainbow crew stands geared up for launch. In a world that still needs its heroes, their return to the basement workshop promises the steadfast allies fans remember. Backlit like noir antiheroes, the team radiates heat ― fanning the hype for the long-awaited third ride.
"Taxi Driver 3" teases tighter character play, sharper team chemistry, and an expanded, meticulously built world ― plus bigger set pieces and sleeker visuals than ever. With cases ripped from real life and even nastier villains on deck, Rainbow Taxi’s revenge service looks ready to deliver maximum catharsis.
Selected as a 2025 production supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Communications Agency (KCA), "Taxi Driver 3" premieres Friday, Nov. 21 at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS, following Woojoo, Marry Me.
