As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for anime and a soft spot for samurai stories, I must say, the news of Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 being targeted for a 2026 release has left me in a bit of a conundrum. On one hand, I’m thrilled that this captivating series is set to return with more episodes, and the fact that it’s earning Emmy nominations only adds to its allure.
According to executive producer and director Michael Green, he has provided information about where things stand with the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Blue Eye Samurai.” Following close to a year since the mature animated show premiered its initial 8 episodes.
What’s the current status of Blue Eye Samurai Season 2?
In a recent chat, Green affirmed that enthusiasts should anticipate a slight delay before the next chapter of Blue Eye Samurai arrives, hinting at a projected 2026 revival for this critically acclaimed series. At present, Season 1 is on the Emmy nomination list in two categories: Outstanding Animated Program and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation.
Green shared that they’ve completed over half of the scriptwriting and are now moving forward with the initial stages of production for episodes 1 and 2. Once they finish one more interview, they plan to review some preliminary storyboards for the debut episode, indicating that this isn’t their first round of revisions.
The animated series “Blue Eye Samurai” is the brainchild of Green and Amber Noizumi, who are in charge of its creation, writing, and executive production. This show, set during Japan’s Edo period, focuses on Mizu, a skilled swordsman with mixed ancestry living undercover, determined to avenge past wrongs. The talented voice cast includes Maya Erskine as Mizu, George Takei as Seki, Masi Oka as Ringo, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as The Swordmaker, Brenda Song as Akemi, Darren Barnet as Taigen, Randall Park as Heiji Shindo, Kenneth Branagh as Abijah Fowler, Stephanie Hsu as Ise, Ming-Na Wen as Madame Kaji, Harry Shum Jr. as Takayoshi, and Mark Dacascos as Chiaki.
