Everything We Know About Alice In Borderland Season 2 So Far

"What if 'Battle Royale' and 'Saw' had a sick, twisted baby that puts its characters through a series of manipulative, tortuous games — usually with a high body and splatter count?" 

That's how /Film's Hoai-Tran Bui previously described this Netflix series, which is a live-action adaptation of the original manga by Haro Aso. Although "Alice in Borderland" perhaps hasn't managed to make quite as big of a wave as a certain other Netflix show that has successfully become a global sensation, many have used the popularity of the latter to recommend more people to watch the former. The similarities seem obvious enough on the surface, but "Alice in Borderland" stands apart in terms of character, subject matter, and good ol' fashioned twists and turns. With its very successful first season in the bag, Netflix wasted no time in renewing the series for a second follow-up season. Here's everything we know so far about what's to come in another installment of "Alice in Borderland."

The events of the first season of "Alice in Borderland" covered roughly half of the original manga series of the same name, which at least suggests a general template for the next season should the pace of storytelling remain the same. Season 1 concluded with the protagonist Arisu's hard-fought journey through the treacherous network of violent games, making it all the way to the "Ten of Hearts" ... only for Arisu's two friends Korube and Chota to sacrifice themselves in the attempt to give Arisu a better chance of success. The season ends with the promise (read: threat) of a whole new round of bloody games to survive, leaving viewers just as exhausted as the survivors.
