Japanese Psychothriller "Gannibal" Renewed For Second Season

Following a dramatic first season that left audiences on a blood-curdling cliffhanger, stars Yuya Yagira, Show Kasamatsu and Riho Yoshioka return for the spine-chilling conclusion to this unmissable story

After a breathtaking first season that saw Yuya Yagira receive a Best Actor nomination at the upcoming Busan International Film Festival’s Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards, and which saw the show become the most watched locally produced original series on Disney+ in Japan in the month since its premiere (based on hours streamed), Gannibal will return for its second season exclusively on Disney+.

Starring some of the biggest names in the Japanese creative industry, season two will see the return of Yuya Yagira as police officer Daigo Agawa; Show Kasamatsu as Keisuke Goto, the head of the Goto family; and Riho Yoshioka as Yuki Agawa, Daigo’s strong and supportive wife. Season two will also see the return of screenwriter and Academy Award-nominee Takamasa Oe; director Shinzo Katayama; and producer Teruhisa Yamamoto, the producer of the 2022 Academy Award-winning Drive My Car.
