Netflix released the main trailer of the highly anticipated second season of Alice in Borderland, which finally returns on December 22.
The story follows Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) as they hope to return to their original world by making it through a variety of deadly ‘games’… But even if all the cards are in order, will they be able to return to their original world?
Alice in Borderland is based on a survival and thriller manga (originally published in Weekly Shonen Sunday S / Weekly Shonen Sunday) by HARO ASO, directed by Shinsuke Sato and co-starring Kento Yamazaki (Kingdom, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K) and Tao Tsuchiya (Library Wars: BOOK OF MEMORIES, Mare).
Synopsis
Season 1
Arisu—a listless, jobless and video-game-obsessed young man—suddenly finds himself in a strange, emptied-out version of Tokyo in which he and his friends must compete in dangerous games in order to survive. In this strange world, Arisu meets Usagi, a young woman who’s navigating the games alone. Together, they set out to unravel one mystery after another as they risk their lives and confront what it means to live.
