Alice in Borderland Season 2 Release Date: How Squid Game Increased the Popularity of Alice in Borderland?

The first season of Alice in Borderland, based on the iconic manga series of the same name, has seemed like an eternity. We were introduced to a parallel Tokyo where strangers competed against each other in deadly games of intelligence, brawn, and deceit. The Japanese thriller was released in late 2020.

A second season will be a no-brainer as the first season topped Netflix’s Top 10 in more than 40 countries and territories, making it an instant fan favorite. But when will it be released, who will be in it, and what will be the storyline? Here’s what we know thus far about Season 2 of Alice in Borderland:

Netflix does not provide an official release date for the upcoming season. It renewed Alice in Borderland for a second season just two weeks after the first season premiered, meaning it’s been two years since the show had a new season.

It’s understandable that the second season of Alice in Borderland took so long to make, given the length of the show’s production and the setbacks brought by the COVID-19 epidemic.

Netflix has stated that filming on season 2 will be completed in the spring of 2022.

What was the storyline of Alice in Borderland Season 1?

At the age of 15, Arisu is thrust into an escalating game of death in an abandoned Tokyo building. The difficulty and deadliness of each challenge are denoted by the suit and number of a playing card, and Arisu fights them with his two pals.

After his companions are killed in a game, Arisu encounters Usagi, a young woman who helps him solve the secret of how to get all the playing cards. They end up in a huge hotel with all the other players, where they discover that all the cards saved for the Ten of Hearts have been collected.

Arisu and Usagi discover a subterranean area where the “gamemasters” are found dead after the last challenge for the Ten of Hearts is attempted, killing many of the other players in the hotel. Afterward, they meet a woman named Mira, who tells them that the games have just begun and that the face cards are now in play.

What could happen in Alice in Borderland Season 2?

Season 1’s last episode had a significant impact on the overall scope of the series, thus anything is possible! It is expected that Arisu and Usagi will continue to search for the remaining cards they need, which will likely lead to a confrontation with the Queen of Hearts, Mira Kano, who was introduced late in season 1.

“I will draw a mystery world that no one has ever seen and an unexpected progression with uncompromising imagery,” director Shinsuke Sato said as to what we may expect this season. I’m freaked out!
