Netflix has finally shared the first look at Blue Eye Samurai season 2 and promises that new episodes are "coming soon."
The first look image, which can be viewed above, sees Mizu (Maya Erskine) navigating a ship through a violent storm on the way to England. Per Polygon, Netflix aired approximately 60 seconds of new footage at the 2026 Annecy Festival, which sees Mizu arrive in London and get put into an underground fighting match.
Per the official logline: "In Season 2, Mizu's bloody quest continues 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 new purpose." There is no set release date for the new season, though Netflix said via press release that it's "coming soon." Animated shows tend to take a few years between seasons, so we're not surprised (and we're sure it'll be worth the wait).
Created by husband-and-wife team Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, Blue Eye Samurai hit Netflix in November 2023 and was swiftly renewed for a second season that same December. The anime series follows a female warrior onna-musha who seeks revenge against four men, one of whom is her father. The voice cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Brenda Song, George Takei, Masi Oka, and Randall Park.
Blue Eye Samurai season 1 currently sits at a near-perfect 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the Critics Consensus calling it "visually dazzling while paying deft attention to character" and a "masterfully rendered animated adventure."
