Netflix dropped a teaser for Sakamoto Days Season 2 on June 23, confirming a January 2027 debut, three new cast additions, and a reshuffled staff list. The retired-hitman-runs-a-convenience-store comedy stays at TMS Entertainment for its next run.
Quick answer
Sakamoto Days Season 2 premieres January 2027 on Netflix worldwide, animated by TMS Entertainment. Daisuke Nakajima directs under supervising director Masaki Watanabe, with series composition by Taku Kishimoto, character designs by Yō Moriyama, and music by Yūki Hayashi. According to SenpaiRanks, the franchise's first run sits in the upper-mid tier of the action-comedy board — and the next cour picks up the Slur arc the manga readers have been waiting for.
What the teaser confirmed
Three voices join the cast: Kikunosuke Toya as Amane, Misa Watanabe as Etsuko Satōda, and Shinshū Fuji as Yotsumura. The core staff returns intact — Kishimoto on scripts, Moriyama on character design, Hayashi (My Hero Academia, Haikyu!!) on the soundtrack — so the show's brisk, gag-to-gunfight rhythm should carry over unchanged.
When and where you watch it
Netflix holds the worldwide streaming rights again, so the rollout mirrors Season 1: a global drop rather than a region-by-region staggered release. The January 2027 slot lines it up alongside the other big Shonen Jump returns next winter — the same window as Akane-banashi Season 2, making winter 2027 a heavy Jump season.
How it reads on the ranking board
SenpaiRanks tracks the franchise's first season in the upper-mid tier of its action-comedy ranking — solid Consensus (broadly liked) with Quality that climbs in its action-heavy back half. Season 2 enters the summer and beyond watchlist as a known quantity. Once it airs, rate it yourself on its ranking page to see whether your take lands above or below the crowd's — that vote is what moves the board.
