A must watch series for all gore lovers, Alice in Borderland has announced a second season. The original Netflix series transports the characters into a new world according to Arisu’s wish. However, the new world is not a kid’s playground but a death trap.

Although the series is liberally sprinkled with death in every episode, the deaths are cunningly plotted and placed throughout the series. It has a death-game survival kind of setting, with some very graphic scenes.

Netflix Japan has released a new short promotional clip that teases the second season of the Alice in Borderland live-action series. The first season of the series debuted early this month, and the second season will continue with the plot.

The short trailer shows a card which, on being flipped, shows the number 2. ( Yes, that’s the whole video).

Although the series’ title parodies Alice in Wonderland, the city that Arisu and the others are transported to is anything but a wonderland. It is based on a manga of the same name by Hara Aso.

The first season premiered on Netflix on 10th December 2020 with eight episodes. Each episode had a runtime of 50 minutes. The cast and staff members of the series will reprise their roles for the second season.
