The second season of the TV anime series "SAKAMOTO DAYS" will premiere in January 2027. The production team announced this on June 24, 2026, simultaneously releasing a new teaser visual and a teaser trailer. The plot of the new season is based on the so-called JCC Infiltration Arc from the original manga by Yuto Suzuki.
The teaser visual shows the two main characters, Taro Sakamoto and Shin, back to back, ready for the dangerous mission. A pen glows in Sakamoto's hand – a randomly assigned weapon from the JCC entrance exam – while Shin's right hand is equipped with a new glove. The teaser trailer offers first glimpses into the new storyline: Sakamoto disguises himself as his wife Aoi and infiltrates the JCC as an intern teacher, while Shin, disguised as a student, gathers information. Alongside characters already known from Season 1, new characters appear: Shu, a model student with a deep aversion to the assassin organization; Etsuko Satoda, the longest-serving teacher at the JCC, who once taught Sakamoto; and Yotsumura, a mysterious man involved in the founding of ORDER.
The new roles are voiced by renowned voice actors: Kikunosuke Toya voices Shu, Misa Watanabe lends her voice to Etsuko Satoda, and Masahide Fuji is heard as Yotsumura. The second season is directed by Daisuke Nakajima, who also worked on the first season. Masaki Watanabe serves as chief director, with Taku Kishimoto responsible for series composition. Character design is by Yo Moriyama, and the music is once again composed by Yuki Hayashi. Animation production remains with TMS Entertainment. The second season will stream exclusively worldwide on Netflix.
The JCC Arc is considered one of the most popular story arcs of the series. It reveals Sakamoto's past and the truth behind the antagonist Slur, whose true identity as Aritsuki, a former classmate of Sakamoto, comes to light. The first season of "SAKAMOTO DAYS" aired from January to September 2025 in two parts with a total of 22 episodes and was met with great acclaim. The original manga by Yuto Suzuki has reached a circulation of over 15 million copies. Additionally, the live-action film adaptation released in April 2026, starring Ren Meguro in the lead role, caused a stir.
The announcement of the second season was made back in December 2025 at Jump Festa 2026. With the now-released teaser material, anticipation is growing for the continuation of the action-packed and humorous anime hit.
