“Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were 17th-century London or Edo Japan. The care that every single member of our team poured into researching those worlds, then crafting them brushstroke by brushstroke into breathtaking, moving art is nothing short of a miracle to us.”

    Details emerge on Season 2 structure and cast additions

    Polygon reports that Season 2 will have six episodes, down from Season 1's eight, and Netflix has announced the series will conclude in 2028. New cast members include Jonathan Pryce, Joel Kim Booster, and Sherry Cola, while Maya Erskine returns as Mizu.

    “London in 1657 had a thriving culture of illicit activity, something that fittingly parallels our story of Japan. Mizu will have to navigate this dark underbelly amid a puritanical society that persecuted women as witches, closed bars and theaters, and even outlawed Christmas.”
