Netflix is further entrenching itself with some of Japan’s top creatives to bring stories to life with TBS Holdings Inc.’s live-action production brand, THE SEVEN, whose roster includes none other than Akira Morii who is a key name behind the production of several upcoming shows.
Such title would be Alice In Borderland, which debuted a trio of first look stills over the summer and now has some new photos to share which you can view in the gallery above. Kento Yamazaki stars in the film along with Tao Tsuchiya in the series which is based on Haro Aso’s hit manga, and centers on a slacker who gets trapped in a death game dimension with no direct way out, except to play and survive each game.
You can read my review of season one by clicking here ahead of the season two premiere which is dated for December 22. The show also stars a mix of new and returning cast members that include Nijiro Murakami, Ayaka Miyoshi, Dori Sakurada, Aya Asahina, Yuri Tsunematsu, Yutaro Watanabe, Yuki Morinaga, Keita Machida, Hayato Isomura, Kai Inowaki, Katsuya Maikuma, Honami Sato, Chihiro Yamamoto, Nobuaki Kaneko, Tsuyoshi Abe, Sho Aoyagi, Riisa Naka, and Tomohisa Yamashita.
Shinsuke Sato (Kingdom) is back at the bullhorn and directing from a script he adapted with Yasuko Kuramitsu. Morii is producing with Netflix’s Kaata Sakamoto executive producing.
