After first capturing global audiences in 2022 with its debut series about a relocated police officer uncovering a series of horrors in a small Japanese village, Gannibal returned with Season 2 on March 19, with the show rapidly rising to become the most viewed Japanese series across APAC markets this year.
Launching with a two-episode premiere, the eight episodes of Gannibal Season 2 follow police officer Daigo Agawa as he struggles with his inner darkness while trying to take down the monstrous Goto Family and end the village’s rumored practices of cannibalism.
Season 2 also explores the twisted history of the Goto family, with actress Yuri Tsunematsu (Okaeri Mone, The Naked Director: Season 2) joining the fray as young Gin Goto, the matriarch of the Goto family. Diving into the character’s past, viewers will learn how Gin came to exert control over Kuge, using her allure and insanity to drive the village’s descent into madness.
The now-streaming season also sees the return of stars Yuya Yagira (Nobody Knows), Show Kasamatsu (Tokyo Vice), Riho Yoshioka (House of Ninjas), Mitsuo Yoshihara (Or Utopia), Baijaku Nakamura (The Blood of Wolves II), Mitsuko Baisho (52-hertz Whales), as well as newly announced cast members Yuki Kura (Shōgun), Kosuke Toyohara (Kuchinai Sakura), Hashizume Isao (City Hunter) and more.
Stream the first four episodes of Gannibal Season 2 now, with new episodes launching every Wednesday through April 23rd exclusively on Disney+.
