The drama is written by Ma Jin-won (Voice) and directed by Lee Seung-young (Missing Noir M, Special Affairs Team TEN).[8]

The first script reading took place on May 23, 2018 at Studio Dragon in Sangam-dong, Seoul, South Korea.[9]

During the press conference of the drama, director Lee Seung-young shared that Voice 2 will only have 12 episodes as the writer wrote the new season with season 3 in mind. On September 2018, OCN officially confirmed a third season to be broadcast on the first half of 2019.[10] It was later announced that both Lee Ha-na and Lee Jin-wook have confirmed to reprise their roles for the upcoming season.[11]
