What did Kay Kay Menon say about the delay?

In a heartfelt Instagram announcement, Kay Kay Menon said, “To all Special Ops fans, the second season will now stream on July 18 instead of July 11. It’s just one more week. I know it’s a bit more waiting, but some things are beyond our control. Don’t worry, all episodes will be available on July 18”. 

 

The storyline reflects today’s shifting geopolitical landscape, where modern conflicts have moved beyond borders into cyberspace. In this digital battlefield, enemies are unseen but constantly present, making cyber warfare a growing threat to national security.
