Netflix is bringing the acclaimed Japanese period action drama Last Samurai Standing back for a second season.
The show made it to the top of the weekly rankings of non-English-language series on Netflix globally, and landed in the top ten in 88 countries. It held onto the top spot in Japan for four consecutive weeks.
The series features Junichi Okada (lead actor, producer, and action choreographer) and is directed by Michihito Fujii.
“I’m pleased to see that Last Samurai Standing has reached global audiences and has been confirmed for a second season,” Okada said. “I’m excited to get back into this wild world and once again charge into battle with the production team. We hope to make the next season even more energetic and action-packed.
“It gives me chills just thinking about all the exciting days that lie ahead with this amazing production team led by Junichi Okada,” Fujii added. “There’s no doubt that season two will be even bigger and better than the first.”
