Blue Eye Samurai has been given a go-ahead for season two. Netflix has renewed the animated series, which debuted in November with eight episodes. It was created and written by husband and wife team Amber Noizumi and Michael Green.
Featuring the voices of Maya Erskine, George Takei, Masi Oka, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brenda Song, Darren Barnet, Randall Park, and Kenneth Branagh, the animated series is set in the 17th century and follows the adventures of swordmaster Mizu (Erskine) on her quest for vengeance. The supporting cast includes Stephanie Hsu, Ming-Na Wen, Harry Shum Jr., and Mark Dacascos.
“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. Our animators, historians, musicians, martial artists and voice cast made this a reality beyond our expectations,” said Noizumi and Green. “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.”
The video announcing the renewal of Blue Eye Samurai is below. A premiere date and additional details for season two will be announced later.
