Netflix releases electrifying trailer confirming Blue Eye Samurai season 2

Netflix officially announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) that Blue Eye Samurai will be returning for a second season with the release of a new trailer. The anime series was a hit in 2023 and its renewal was highly anticipated. What caught many off guard, however, was the swift announcement of season 2, which came with the new trailer. Blue Eye Samurai originally premiered on Netflix on November 3, 2023, making the announcement of a second season even more surprising given the quick turnaround.

Blue Eye Samurai season 2 likely to be released in 2024 considering swift announcement of second season

Similar to other Netflix original anime series, Blue Eye Samurai is not based on any existing source material and is a completely original production by Netflix. It is expected that the second season of Blue Eye Samurai will continue to feature entirely original content, rather than drawing from external source material.

Regrettably, there is very little new information available about the second season of Blue Eye Samurai. Nevertheless, it is safe to assume that the majority of the key personnel and cast will be reprising their roles for the upcoming installment. This will likely include director Jane Wu, creators and writers Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, and animation studio Blue Spirit.

Possible rewrites and combination:

The main cast of the series "Blue Eye Samurai" features Maya Erskine as Mizu, Masi Oka as Ringo, Darren Barnet as Taigen, Brenda Song as Princess Akemi, George Takei as Seki, Randall Park as Heiji Shindo, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawwa as Master Eiji, and Kenneth Braghan as Abijah Flower.

Stephanie Hsu, Ming-Na Wen, Harry Shum Jr., Mark Dacascos, Orli Mariko, Judah Green, Patrick Gallagher, Ann Harada, and Byron Mann are recurring cast members who could return for the second season as Ise, Madame Kaji, Takayoshi, Chikaki, Young Mizu, Young Taigen, Lord Daichi, Mama, and Mikio.

The initial season of the show comprised eight episodes, with varying lengths between 35 to 62 minutes. Executive producers for the first season were Green, Noizumi, and Erwin Stoff. Jane Wu was joined by Haven Alexander and Kevin Hart as producers, while Yuka Shirasuna and Brad Lee Zimmerman served as series editors.

Blue Spirit, Netflix Animation, 3 Arts Entertainment, and J.A. Green Construction Corporation are all credited as production companies for the series. It is expected that all four will be involved in the second installment, following the positive reception of the series' initial production in the first season.
