Sakamoto Days Season 2 Renewal Watch: Latest Status, Release Window Hints, And What To Expect

Official renewal is still pending, but the breakout success of Sakamoto Days makes a season 2 feel inevitable—fans of Yuto Suzuki’s manga and lead Taro Sakamoto are already gearing up for the next round.

Quick update for Sakamoto Days fans: no Season 2 renewal... yet. Given how hard this thing popped on Netflix, it would be shocking if it didn’t come back. But for now, it’s in that annoying limbo where the numbers are huge and the announcement hasn’t happened.

Where things stand

Sakamoto Days is based on Yuto Suzuki's manga and follows Taro Sakamoto, a former top-tier hitman who tries to retire into running a convenience store, only to get dragged back into the game when his old life threatens his family. The anime launched in January 2025 and immediately turned into a word-of-mouth favorite, then a full-on Netflix hit. Season 1 wrapped on September 23, 2025. Still no official greenlight for Season 2.

The Netflix numbers were big

Here’s the part that makes the quiet renewal status feel a little weird (yes, even by Netflix standards):

• Netflix’s own engagement report in July 2025 listed Sakamoto Days at 24 million views for the first half of the year, and that was mid-season.
• Per What’s on Netflix, the show held a spot in Netflix’s global top 10 for 14 weeks between January 12 and September 7, 2025.
• Across that stretch it racked up 106.8 million viewing hours, which Netflix translates to about 40.4 million completed views.
• Season 1 ended September 23, 2025, so the final tally should be higher, likely putting it among the year’s most-watched anime on the platform.

Translation: it performed. Which is why the silence on Season 2 feels like classic Netflix timing shenanigans rather than a referendum on the show.

What Season 2 would cover

The manga is way ahead. There are 229 chapters out, and Season 1 only chewed through the first 75 chapters, roughly nine volumes. That’s a lot of runway left.

If Season 2 picks up where the anime left off, expect it to start around Volume 10. That chunk digs more into Sakamoto and his crew while circling the JCC database mystery, which is a big pivot point for the series. If the adaptation pace stays about the same, a second season could carry the story into somewhere around Volume 17 or 18.

So when is it happening?

No date, no episode count, no anything official yet. But between the viewership and the untouched manga material, the odds are very much in Season 2’s favor. It’s just a matter of when Netflix decides to say it out loud.

The bottom line

Sakamoto Days delivered on Netflix and has plenty of story left to adapt. The renewal should be a layup. Until it’s official, consider this one highly likely, not guaranteed. In the meantime, Season 1 is streaming on Netflix if you want to catch up or rewatch.
