Fans of Netflix’s acclaimed animation hit Blue Eye Samurai are in for great news. Netflix not only announced the anticipated second season will premiere in January 2027 in a new trailer, but the series has already been renewed for a third and final season to conclude Mizu’s journey.
Blue Eye Samurai followed mixed-race Japanese warrior Mizu’s quest for vengeance against four white men, including her father, who remained illegally in Japan after the Tokugawa shogunate closed its borders. The first season saw her fight against the tyrannical shogun alongside new allies while dealing with her label as an outcast in their society.
Season two will see Mizu’s bloody quest continue in London, where she faces new friends, old foes, and her own demons. In Japan, Akemi and Taigen navigate Edo Castle under a dangerous new shogun, while Ringo searches for a new purpose.
The series was created by Amber Noizumi and Michael Green. “When we started this project, we made a commitment to take this very personal story set in Edo period Japan and bring it to life in the most authentic and beautiful way possible,” the pair said in a statement. “Our animators, historians, musicians, martial artists, and voice cast made this a reality beyond our expectations. We are thankful to our entire team and to our viewers from all over the world who have shown such passion for Mizu and her path of revenge. Mizu has a lot more blood to spill! We are deeply grateful to our incredible partners at Netflix for letting the journey continue.”
Blue Eye Samurai features the voices of Maya Erskine, Brenda Song, Darren Barnet, Masi Oka, Kenneth Branagh, George Takei, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Randall Park, Stephanie Hsu, Ming-Na Wen, Harry Shum Jr. and Mark Dacascos.
