Hey, Netflix binge-watchers! Have you kept up with all the new series and films dropped on the online streaming platform this month? The Netflix Tudum event may have teased a lot of new and upcoming series, installments, and movies for its fans. On the other hand, there’s this series that we have been waiting for almost two years already. And with all due time, the waiting game is finally over for fans expecting Netflix‘s Alice in Borderland season 2! We’re here to discuss everything you need to know and what to expect in the upcoming second season.
What to expect in Alice in Borderland Season 2?
Up for another nasty game? We’ll try to tone down the spoilers of the first season, but prepare to meet a few players again *hehe*. In an interview with Netflix, lead actor Kento Yamazaki had this to say about season 2: “We had these really large-scale scenes every day and the world of the show is bigger than ever“.
- The first season took an estimated 31 chapters of the manga series. So we can expect that the last 33 chapters of the series may be told in the upcoming season 2.
- The end of the first season left us at a cliffhanger. The games are just starting, so we’ll definitely get new and exciting things in the next season. This sci-fi thriller will surely leave its fans on the edge of their seats once again.
- Could the main characters, Arisu and Usagi escape the Borderland? Or will they face a nasty death in the game? Are there others like them trapped in the Borderland all over the world? Many questions come to mind, and we hope we can find an answer when Alice in Borderland Season 2 drops.
- The director may have hinted at what’s going to happen in the second season, and we quote, according to a translation from What’s on Netflix, “I will draw a mysterious world that no one has ever seen and an unexpected development with uncompromising images.”
