Viewers are curious to learn whether Sakamoto Days Season 2 has been canceled or renewed by Netflix. Written and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki, the Japanese manga series centers around a former hitman who leaves behind his risky life for love. However, he’s forced out of retirement when his family falls into danger. With the series having concluded, many are eager to know about the series’ future.
Has Netflix renewed Sakamoto Days for Season 2 or canceled it?
Netflix has neither confirmed nor canceled Sakamoto Days Season 2. Given how the show ended, there are chances that it might get renewed, teasing what’s next in the storyline.
Episode 22, titled “Each One’s Mission,” concludes with Sakamoto, disguised as Aoi, taking on a teaching internship to get into JCC and infiltrate it. Meanwhile, Shin gets in as a student to get more clues on Slur. Lastly, in the mid-credit scene, it teases what the story holds next and a glimpse of Slur. Given the tease, there’s a possibility that another season might happen and could be expected sometime next year.
Generally, a series renewal depends on various factors, including financial viability, audience reception, viewership, and others. If the show manages to tick off the desired expectations, then a season is likely. The show has been acclaimed for its fight sequences, action-packed and engaging storyline, chemistry between characters, animation, and much more. According to Netflix’s mid-year Engagement Report, the show has garnered over 24 million views, an impressive and strong statistic that could favor its renewal.
By the time Netflix decides the series’ fate, fans could anticipate the arrival of a live-action adaptation of this beloved manga series. The official page took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal a teaser trailer and poster. Ren Maguro, well-known as a member of the idol group Snow Man, takes on the role of Taro Sakamato. Yuichi Fukuda will direct the movie. It’s set to release in Japan during its Golden Week holiday in 2026.
