Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 arrives on Netflix in January 2027 with three new voice actors and a bigger story that moves beyond Japan. The new season sends Mizu to London with Abijah Fowler while other characters continue their own journeys in Japan. Netflix has also planned a third and final season for 2028, giving the animated series a clear end point.
Who Do Jonathan Pryce, Joel Kim Booster, and Sherry Cola Play in Season 2?
The biggest update is the addition of Jonathan Pryce, Joel Kim Booster, and Sherry Cola. Their characters were revealed with new image art during IGN Fall Fan Fest, but Netflix has not explained exactly how each one fits into Mizu’s revenge story.
- Jonathan Pryce: He voices Old Violet, one of the four white men tied to Mizu’s bloody quest. His return raises questions, but the sources do not confirm whether he appears through flashbacks.
- Joel Kim Booster: He joins as Priest Ando, a new character whose role remains secret.
- Sherry Cola: She voices Kuma, another new character with no confirmed connection to Akemi or Edo Castle.
- Returning cast: Maya Erskine returns as Mizu, Kenneth Branagh as Abijah Fowler, Brenda Song as Akemi, Darren Barnet as Taigen, Masi Oka as Ringo, George Takei, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa also return.
Where Is Mizu Heading in Season 2, and When Will It Premiere?
The second season follows Mizu’s journey to London after the first season ended with her sailing away with Fowler.

- Japan still matters: Other storylines continue in Japan while Mizu is overseas.
- Release window: Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 premieres in January 2027, but Netflix has not announced an exact release date.
- Creative team: Michael Green and Amber Noizumi return as creators, with Blue Spirit handling animation.
- Green on the show’s style: He said, “We’re anime fans too, and we knew what we were doing wasn’t anime,” adding that they hoped anime fans would embrace it as something familiar.
- Next chapter: Season 3 is planned for 2028 as the final chapter of Mizu’s story.
No exact episode count has been confirmed by Netflix.
