SAKAMOTO DAYS Season 2 is set to premiere this January 2027, streaming exclusively on Netflix. The series is based on Yuto Suzuki’s manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 2020, which has surpassed 15 million copies in circulation worldwide.
Season 2 picks up as legendary former hitman Taro Sakamoto and Shin infiltrate JCC (Japan Cleaner Culture) — Japan’s assassin training institution — to uncover intelligence on the elusive figure known as X. Meanwhile, ORDER members Nagumo, Shishiba, and Osaragi head to Kyoto on assignment, only to be ambushed by an unexpected assailant.
As conspiracies deepen, the shared history of a young Sakamoto, Nagumo, Rion, and Slur is finally brought to light. Daisuke Nakajima, who has been involved with the series since Season 1, steps up as director for Season 2; while supervising Director Masaki Watanabe continues in an oversight role.
“I am honored to be working on such a popular Jump title,” Nakajima shared. I will spare nothing in depicting the stylish action and individual aesthetics of Suzuki-sensei’s uniquely vivid cast of assassins. Carrying the baton from Season 1, I am bringing all my passion to expressing in animation the appeal, momentum, and epic scale of a work loved so fervently by fans around the world. Please look forward to Season 2’s grand opening!”
