Tokyo Vice Season 2: When Will the New Tokyo Vice Season Come?

Tokyo Vice Season 2

That’s what we’re hoping for, especially after the season one finale’s jaw-dropping scenes.

Isn’t it amazing how quickly time passes? It feels like only yesterday that the first episode of Tokyo Vice premiered on HBO Max, promising viewers a high-stakes journey through Tokyo’s criminal underground. When it comes to showing the true complexity of its characters and the filthy world in which they live, the programme, which stars Ansel Elgort as Jake Adelstein, a real-life crime reporter who worked in Japan and wrote the 2009 memoir on which the series is based, chose a slow-burn approach.

A series of shocks to the system turned each subplot on its head in episode eight, resulting in an extremely cliffhanger-filled conclusion to the episode. Please note that this is your final opportunity to avoid spoilers! Jake was on board a sex-slave ship when he witnessed what appeared to be Polina’s death (which was captured on a mysteriously transmitted video).

Police believe Polina’s boyfriend took some of Samantha’s hard-earned club money. Sato was brutally stabbed in the back by a fellow criminal and left for dead on the side of the road. Miyamoto could have been slain as well, and Katagiri was forced to flee with his wife and daughters after Tozawa made a homicidal threat against the family.

Despite the fact that the season ends where it began, Elgort’s Jake and Ken Watanabe’s Katagiri find themselves surrounded by yakuza and informed that if Jake continues to pursue their leader Tozawa, he and his family will be murdered.

We were led to believe that season one would culminate in this life-or-death meeting because of the time leap in the premiere episode, which saw Jake become the first American journalist to be employed by the Meicho Shimbun newspaper. However, the season one finale proved us wrong. We were left with more questions than answers at the conclusion of the finale.

After posting a picture of two adults engaged in fisticuffs, another user said, “If we don’t get season 2 of Tokyo Vice, I’m pulling up to HBO headquarters with this energy.”

Some viewers admired Tokyo Vice’s cinematography as well as the multi-layered performances delivered by its ensemble.

It is undeniable that, while everyone associated with the show produced excellent work, the internet has discovered a new love interest.

The pilot’s premise, which is practically wasted without another batch of episodes to show us how Jake and Katagiri end up in the office with the yakuza in the first place, is another reason for the programme to return for a second season, on top of the growing audience support for another season.

In the season one conclusion, the men come together in the face of their recent setbacks, a clear recognition that the only way they can handle their current predicaments is by banding together and taking on the yakuza as a group.

Over the course of season one, they’ve already had their share of ups and downs, and their reunification in the episode’s last moments sets the stage for a sustained effort to operate as a team despite their differences.

Tokyo Vice is not intended to be a five or seven-season television phenomenon; but, a second season would, at the absolute least, perhaps get us closer to the conclusion of the story and provide answers to some of our most pressing questions. (Do Polina and Miyamoto have a permanent place in the world?

Now that she is almost business partners with the yakuza, will Samantha find herself in even greater danger? Is Sato really dead, and more importantly, will he ever come to terms with the fact that NSYNC is, without a doubt, the greater boy band? We need to know what’s going on!)

While we wait for HBO Max to either confirm or deny that a second season of Game of Thrones is in the works, There is no evidence to support any claims of a continuing storyline at this time, and we will update this post once any information becomes available.

Watch the full first season of Tokyo Vice on HBO Max, which is currently available.
