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: it's official. BET is returning for season 2! — Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) June 24, 2025 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.
