Netflix's Bet has been Greenlit for Season 2
As a fan of the Kakegurui anime, I wasn't so sure when Netflix gave a first look at the live-action Bet, but the series has apparently been a hit with audiences, and a second season has been officially announced.
Check out the post from the series star Miku Marineau:

The ending of the first season has hinted that the series is only going to get more dangerous. Though the fight with the student council is over, Yumeko and her new ally Kira now have to take on Kira's father and his team of reach jerks.
I'll admit, as someone who also read the manga, the way the live-action series went was really different, but I guess some people still enjoyed it—enough for a second season to actually happen.
Personally, I think that the series kind of drops a lot of the things that made the original anime interesting. Yes, the school is ridiculous in that gambling determines the social heirarchy, but the games had always been fun because it's interesting to see how Yumeko sees through the cheaters and decides to fuck them over with her sheer love of risk.
That's also another thing that fans thought was weird about the series. In the anime, Yumeko is simply motivated by her love of gambling, but in the series, she's motivated by revenge; which is something .
Regardless of the comparisons though, I think that Marineau was very well cast, and she looks absolutely captivating in every frame she's in as Yumeko. It's great we're getting more of her.
No release date has been announced for Season 2 yet, but you can check out Bet now streaming on Netflix.

Sandman Co-Creator on Neil Gaiman Cancellation
We were experiencing a kind of Neil Gaiman renaissance until recently with adaptations for things like Sandman and Good Omens , but after a recent scandal, Gaiman has effectively been cancelled by the internet and all of his connections have been dropping him. Netflix is currently gearing up for the second season of Sandman , and with Gaiman's involvement being such a huge elephant in the room, series co-creator David Goyer talks about how weird it's been to push forward without Gaiman. Talking to Variety, Goyer explained: 'When the accusations first came out, we were three weeks from finishing filming Season 2 — so we were very, very far down the path and Neil wasn't as involved in Season 2 as he was in Season 1. Obviously, it's complicated. I have tremendous respect for women that come forward in those situations. It's really concerning, but I know that Netflix, at the time, felt, 'God, we spent two years making this thing. There's all these actors and writers and directors involved that, if we didn't air it, wouldn't be fully compensated for it.' And so we just decided, we're going to let this work speak for itself.' Despite Goyer and the rest of the team pushing forward with the series, Goyer did add, ' But I'd be crazy to say it wasn't weird.' The allegations against Gaiman had come out summer of last year, and the fantasy community was rocked online by seeing one of the most famous authors in the genre get accused of sexual assault. Good Omens had promptly dropped Gaiman; and while Sandman was expected to run for longer, it does seem like ending it with the final season would be the right move. We don't know what the future holds for future Gaiman work, but he was certainly having a good go at the spotlight right before he wasn't. The Sandman Season 2 is set to come to Netflix on July 3.

Huntrix Don't Miss: K-Pop Demon Hunters Tearing Up the Music Charts
People were expecting Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters to have some bops in the soundtrack, and it looks like the movie is definitely delivering on the music front as well. According to @chartsdata, the soundtrack for K-Pop Demon Hunters , the past weekend has earned the album the position of No. 1 on US iTunes, and what's more, the album also got 8.5 million streams on Spotify following the release day. 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack earned its biggest streaming day of all-time on Spotify on June 22 with 8.5 million streams. Its up 500% vs release day. — chart data (@chartdata) June 23, 2025 As it turns out, it actually took a huge team to bring the Huntrix to life on the big screen. Besides the original songs being written by several writers including Danny Chung, IDO, EJAE, Vince, Jenna Andrews, and more; the movie also brought in new singers to record the original songs including EJAE (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey). We don't know how long the KPDH train is going to run yet, but the movie is currently No. 1 on Netflix, and a lot of people online have been gushing about how it celebrates everything that fans love about K-Pop from the band members having specific personalities to them going on game shows and having fan meets. No sequel has been announced for K-Pop Demon Hunters yet, but the ending does leave fans hopeful for a follow-up, especially with the billboard of Huntrix saying they have a new song/album called Comeback. Some are even hoping that the girls actually get to go on a world tour this time, and maybe they can find Hunters from every other nation—pretty much like what happened with Trolls World Tour . Catch K-Pop Demon Hunters now streaming on Netflix.
