Since its premiere in 2023, fans from all over the world—both of animation and the samurai film genre—have been begging Netflix for a second season. Shortly after it ended, the streaming giant confirmed there would be a second season, but since then, all has been quiet, until now.
Don't get too excited, because we still don't have a release date or a trailer for the second season of Blue-Eyed Samurai, but we do have a "proof of life" from Netflix that we'll see during the Annecy International Film Festival. An in-depth presentation on this new season will take place at the festival, and the synopsis has been revealed, which reads as follows:
"In season 2, Mizu's bloody quest continues in London, where she faces new friends, old foes, and her own demons. In Japan, Akemi and Taigen navigate Edo Castle under a dangerous new Shogun, whilst Ringo searches for a new purpose."
In addition, we've been given two screenshots from the second season, which we're sharing below. When do you think Netflix will announce the much-anticipated release of The Blue-Eyed Samurai Season 2?
