Netflix just dropped the first poster for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, and it features the return of Mizu, who will continue her revenge-fueled journey. While a release date still hasn’t been confirmed, hopefully we don’t have to wait long for the next chapter of the story.
Blue Eye Samurai has earned its place as one of Netflix’s most badass original animated series. Since it premiered in 2023, fans have been all in on this gorgeously violent tale of vengeance and identity. And after that cliffhanger Season 1 finale, people have been hungry to see where Mizu’s path leads next.
Netflix also confirmed that the series is officially in production on Season 2.
When we last saw Mizu, she was leaving Japan and heading to London to finish what she started — taking down Skeffington and Routely. That unfinished business has fans hyped to see her return with blades drawn.
At this summer’s Anime Expo, co-creator Amber Noizumi teased what’s to come during a panel alongside Michael Green and executive producer Jane Wu. Noizumi said that Mizu’s mission remains as sharp as her sword:
“Mizu’s journey remains the same. Revenge is her religion.” Green backed that up with a reveal: “She believes that at least two of the men that she’s out to kill are going to be somewhere in this magical place called London.”
Noizumi also hinted at a few surprises that could shake things up: “There are also going to be maybe some people you thought died, who maybe are still alive.”
Outside the convention, Green said: “We’re excited how it’s coming along. It’s going great. We have the best team you could ask for working, applying all their talent and experience into doing the impossible again. And more of the impossible, and celebrating what we got good at and trying some really new crazy things too.”
Blue Eye Samurai recently scored the Emmy for “Best Animated Series” in 2024, beating out some major contenders like X-Men ’97. With talk of future seasons and even spin-offs in the works, it’s clear that Mizu’s journey is far from over, and I’m excited to continue watching that journey unfold.
