Alice In Borderland
Director Sato Shinsuke grateful for positive reactions to season one, hopes there will be a season two
Will there be a second season of
Alice In Borderland?
Yes, itâs official. The live-action adaptation of
Alice In Borderland will return for a second season. Netflix announced the seriesâ renewal on Christmas Eve 2020 with a short video teaser. In the clip, a hand reaches out for a poker card with the number two written on it while ominous music plays in the background. In the videoâs caption, the streaming platform wrote: âSeason 2 in the works!â
The announcement was made just two weeks after the first season premiered on Netflix on December 10. The show quickly gained popularity in Japan and across Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. It also ranked in the Top 10 trending list in countries like Germany, France, Portugal and Austria.
Like most, we spent a good portion of this year in lockdown, self-isolating away from the rest of the world. So it’s a relief that we could count on streaming giants like Netflix and cable networks to keep us entertained with their banks of endless shows.
Live-action adaptations, sequels and a sprinkle of anime make our year-end list of the best television series from East and Southeast Asia. As we binged on sci-fi adventures, zombie thrillers and wholesome sports dramas, these shows have miraculously turned this strange and forsaken past 12 months into something memorable.
