” Considering all the effects required to make the show work, the post-production process might be a little lengthy, but we’re confident in what December 2022 promises. The new season of Alice in Borderland is one of 50 titles to be titled ‘Alice in “Borderland” and is released on Netflix  Japan to expand international content. This includes movies and series, both live-action and animated. While “Alice in Borderland” is a brilliant show in its own right, that didn’t last until the release of ” Squid”. A game that started to get well-deserved success. The first season premiered almost a year before the debut of Squid Game and landed in the top 10 series in 40 countries.

But when Netflix’s algorithm started recommending it to Squid Game fans, it turned out to be a worldwide hit. “We were thrilled to see that many members who discovered and watched Squid Game also discovered Alice for the first time,” Netflix said. Michael Smith (via Diversity). “Our service picked up on that connection and started recommending Alice to more members who haven’t seen the show.” She once again ranked in the top 10 series in more than 50 countries worldwide more than nine months after initial release,” he added. Let’s hope Alice in Borderland’s newfound popularity carries over into the Season 2 premiere, leading to a rapid renewal for Season 3!

Sakurada himself also posted the news on his personal Instagram, with a photo of  Niragi badly burned and the caption: “Niragi will be back. This means that it’s also possible for other characters to come back from the dead in the form of flashbacks or even some unexpected twists.

Yamashita as Kyūma (aka “King of Clubs”), Hayato Isomura as Banda, Kai Inowaki as Matsushita, Katsuya Maiguma as Yaba, and Honami Satō as Kotoko (via Anime news network). So what can we expect from the newcomers?

“An action survivor, a seasoned gamer, a mysterious wild card,” joked Netflix. No further details about the characters have been revealed yet, although it’s possible that they share some similarities with the manga’s creator, Haro Aso, as Arisu and Usagi are partially inspired by him. “I remembered how I was when I was about 20 years old and founded Arisu out of my own indecisiveness,” Aso said. He added that Usagi is influenced by a part of her personality that is “independent”. And you don’t have to rely on others.”

Alice in Borderland Season 2 Plot

The first season of Alice in Borderland covered about half of Haro Aso’s manga series, leaving at least another 33 chapters to inspire me. But of course, the creators behind the Netflix adaptation could easily take things in a different direction to lengthen the story. By the end of Season 1, Arisu had just survived a series of Death Matches but also lost his friends Chota and Korube in the process. This led to the final game Ten of Hearts, where each had to identify the “witch” hiding beneath them. After a truly horrific massacre, Arisu found out that Momoka was the witch, which led to another discovery: that she and Asahi were indeed deliberately sabotaging the game.

This eventually leads Arisu and Usagi to the control room, where they meet a stranger named Mira, who is announcing a whole new series of games taking place in the city of Tokyo. That means Arisu’s time in the game is far from over, and this new controller could be even more dangerous than the ones before her. While Netflix has yet to reveal what’s next, Mira will clearly have a pivotal role as  Big Bad going forward. And while their games may be different than what we’ve seen so far, they will surely head in the same deadly direction.

Expect more offshoots of this spoiler idea as well, making it even harder for Arisu to trust anyone around him. And that’s especially true now that her friends have left, leaving only the trauma of their disappearance. Hopefully, the show doesn’t just clean up all the psychological damage in season two. Whatever happens, don’t expect season two to switch locations. “Setting the story here brought a sense of curiosity and the exotic to Tokyo,” said writer-director Shinsuke Sato said (about still Netflix).

“From the start, I had  viewers all over the world in mind.” On a business level, Alice in Borderland was created with the Japanese market in mind. But on a personal and emotional level, it became an opportunity to share the atmosphere of Japan and its home feel and environment. I had always hoped that international audiences who didn’t know Japan would be moved or deeply moved. As for the length of the program, Sato has offered a possible clue. a limit of three seasons.

“There’s a lengthy original manga comic that it’s based on, which is not only unique to Alice in Borderland, but if it were a movie, it would have a very established three-act structure,” Sato explained. “We learn in film school that a two-hour film is well balanced with a three-act structure. In the past, I’ve felt that it must have a three-act structure, so it was very intentional. About the three-act split. That said, Sato’s style has evolved since then, so all the bets are off. The more I wrote, the less I cared about the structure. But to get closer to this image, I had to make a lot of changes,” Sato continued. “I’ve rewritten countless times. I would rewrite it, then throw it away, then rewrite it and throw it away, over and over again until I reached the point of satisfaction. One thing is for sure: you can expect Season 2 to feature similarly diverse characters, be they, heroes or villains.

“It’s important to create a meaningful protagonist for every story, not just for movies but for every narrative,” said Sato. “But great leads aren’t just determined and established from the start. I think the character’s strengths  make the lead great.” As a director, there are sometimes layers of myself that are added to the characters that I create. Sometimes my own traits are skins that I add to characters.

Even with the evilest characters, there are times when you can see shadows from the character’s past and understand why they are the way they are based on their past experiences. The stars gave viewers a sneak peek of what to expect in the show’s second season. In the Twitter video, Yamazaki said that “the world of the show is bigger than ever,” while Tsuchiya joked that “every shot has big set pieces like explosions.” Sho Aoyagi, who plays Aguni, is seen with battle scars and blood on his face, adding, “The first season was great, but the second season continues.”
