A new season of MBC's smash-hit daily sitcom "High Kick" will hit airwaves, the show's production company Chorokbaem confirmed on Thursday.

An official from Chorokbaem told Asia Economic Daily's Sports Today over the phone that they are currently producing the third season of "High Kick" with director Kim Byung-wook once again taking the reigns for the show.

However, when asked whether the show will air after current MBC sitcom "All My Love" finishes its run, the official a date has yet to be set.

The "High Kick" series was widely popular between 2006 and 2007 and the second season, which ran for six months starting September last year, was a success as well, bringing in viewership ratings in the high 20 percent range.

A number of Korean actors rose to stardom through the show, including Jung Il-woo, Kim Hye-seong, Hwang Jung-eum, Yoon Si-yoon and Choi Daniel.
