Sakamoto Days Season 2 on Netflix: Here’s the Exact Episode Count

Riding a breakout January 2025 debut, Netflix’s Sakamoto Days is already renewed, with Season 2 now in the works just months after Part 2 — though the episode count remains under wraps.

Sakamoto Days blew up fast on Netflix after dropping in January 2025, and now the streamer has done the obvious: Season 2 is officially happening. Details are thin, but there are a few concrete things to know — and a couple educated guesses worth making.

So yes, Season 2 is real — but how big is it?

Netflix says a second season is in production. They have not said how many episodes we are getting. Season 1 ran 22 episodes total, split into two parts, so it would not be surprising if they repeat that structure — but that is not confirmed yet.

Release timing: manage expectations

There is no date. Because the renewal was just announced and production is only now underway, late 2026 or early 2027 feels like the realistic window. Season 1 rolled out in two chunks, and I would expect Season 2 to follow suit.

Quick refresher on the show

Based on Yuto Suzuki's long-running manga, Sakamoto Days follows retired assassin Taro Sakamoto, who supposedly left the life to run a convenience store. Naturally, it does not stick. Every attempt to keep his family and friends safe drags him back into violent, often very funny chaos. It has become one of Netflix's most-watched originals since its January 2025 debut — which explains the swift greenlight.

There is also a live-action movie coming

Separate from the anime, a live-action Sakamoto Days feature is in the works. It is scheduled to open in Japan on April 29, 2026. International release plans and where it will stream have not been announced yet. The curious wrinkle: if the anime sticks to that late-2026/early-2027 window, the movie could land first.

Who is likely back for Season 2?

No official cast list yet — it is too early — but it is hard to imagine the show not bringing back its core actors and key creatives. Expect the returning regulars, and probably a few fresh faces from the manga, since the source material is ongoing and still juggling multiple arcs.

• Tomokazu Sugita as Taro Sakamoto
• Nobunaga Shimazaki as Shin Asakura
• Ayane Sakura as Lu Shaotang
• Nao Toyama as Aoi Sakamoto
• Hina Kino as Hana Sakamoto
• Daisuke Namikawa as Kei Uzuki
• Koki Uchiyama as Gaku
• Natsuki Hanae as Nagumo
• Director Masaki Watanabe, with TMS Entertainment likely back on production, Yo Moriyama on character designs, and Yuki Hayashi on music

None of that is officially locked, but it is the sensible lineup given how Season 1 was put together and where the manga goes next.

The bottom line

Season 2 is happening, episode count and date TBA. Pencil in late 2026 or early 2027, probably in two parts again. A live-action film hits Japan on April 29, 2026, with global details to come. In the meantime, Sakamoto Days Season 1 — all 22 episodes — is streaming now on Netflix.
