On April 7, 2022, HBO Max aired the debut of the first season of the show. Both critics and viewers seemed unimpressed by the show. The show was picked up for a second season in June of 2022.
When will we be able to watch Season 2? What happens? Who would agree to play their parts again? If you want to find out more, keep reading.
Will There Be a Second Season of Tokyo Vice?
Jake will continue to play the position of the first among equals and the ensemble in subsequent seasons of the show, which the creator and his team intend to expand outward and continue to introduce new characters in. In terms of the storyline, there is enough for both a second season of Tokyo Vice and a third season overall.
The first episode of the series takes place in 2001, then moves to 1999, and then continues forward. In addition, by the end of the first season of the series, the story has not yet progressed to the point where Jake and the Tozawa minions who were introduced in the very first scene of the series meet each other.
Release Date for the Second Season of Tokyo Vice
It is not yet known when exactly new episodes of Tokyo Vice will be released, but we do know that the show is scheduled to make its comeback sometime in 2023.
A preview video that was released by HBO and HBO Max for their programming for the year 2023 includes Tokyo Vice as one of the shows that will be returning for a new season in 2023. Due to the fact that the video that was presented was from the first season, it is now impossible to determine how far along production of the next season currently is.
The Cast of Tokyo Vice Season 2
Ansel Elgort played the lead role of Jake Adelstein in the first season of Tokyo Vice. Ken Watanabe portrayed Hiroto Katagiri, Rachel Keller portrayed Samantha, Rinko Kikuchi portrayed Eimi, and Shô Kasamatsu portrayed Sato. Additionally, Tomohisa Yamashita portrayed Akira, Ella Rumpf played the role of Polina, and Hideaki Ito played Jin Miyamoto.
Although HBO has not confirmed the cast members who will be back for season 2, we can reasonably presume that Elgort, Watanabe, Keller, and Kikuchi will all be participating. Due to the fact that we were not present when Kasamatsu and Ito’s characters were last seen in action, their whereabouts are currently unknown. As soon as the cast members for the second season of Tokyo Vice are revealed, we will let you know.
Takayuki Suzuki (Invasion), who is said to be joining the show in the role of Masahito Ohno, an architect who is a client at a hostess club and who is then lured into the underworld that works behind the curtain of the club, has been confirmed as the show’s newest cast member by Variety.
What Can We Expect From Tokyo Vice Season 2?
In the final episode of season 1, Jake mulls over moving back to the United States before obtaining a film that appears to show Polina being murdered. The fact that Tozawa is responsible for Miyamoto’s death is strongly inferred.
In addition to this, he warns Katagiri that he will eliminate him and his family if the investigator continues to pursue his family’s clan. One of the other Chihari-Kai members stabs Sato in the back.
Samantha turns to Ishida for financial assistance after being conned out of all of her money by Akira’s scams. Tozawa embarks on a journey to a location that is currently unknown, and Jake and Katagiri finally appear to put their problems behind them.
In the hypothetical second season, we might find out that Tozawa went to the United States to get a liver transplant there. Misaki is able to ask Jake for assistance once she comes to the realization that she cannot wait for Tozawa to pass away.
If Sato manages to stay alive, the pursuit of his assailant will most likely cause him to shed more of his humanity. When it comes to investigating Tozawa, Jake and Katagiri will probably need to come up with a fresh strategy.
