This new season is also a new opportunity for everyone who hasn’t seen the series to catch up. But why is it worth watching? Below we provide several reasons.

An adrenaline-filled series full of deadly games

Based on the manga by Haro Aso and starring Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya, the plot of Alice in Borderland follows Arisu, a young man passionate about video games who finds himself trapped in a strange alternate world with his friends, where they must participate in deadly games to survive. Over the course of two seasons, Arisu and his companions face increasingly difficult games and incredibly complex challenges… until the plot twist of the second season explains the reason for all this in a unique way.

The series has become one of the most popular in Netflix’s international catalog, mainly thanks to its ambitious production and intense narrative that captivates you from start to finish. Directed by Shinsuke Sato and produced by Robot Communications Inc., Alice in Borderland is a blend of action games, pure thriller moments, and adventures filled with interesting characters.
