Michael Mann's TOKYO VICE HBO Series Has Been Renewed For Season 2
Michael Mann’s crime drama series Tokyo Vice has been renewed for a second season by HBO Max. I thought the first season was great and I’m happy to learn that the story will continue with Season 2.
The series is based on Jake Adelstein’s 2009 memoir of the same name, and Ansel Elgort stars as Adelstein in the series. He’s an American journalist who reports on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat in the late ‘90s, descending daily into the “neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.”
The series also stars Ken Watanabe, Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller, Ella Rumpf, Hideaki Ito, Show Kasamatsu and Tomohisa Yamashita.
Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, said in a statement: “We could not be more excited to bring the passionate fans of the show another season to continue this intriguing and suspenseful crime story set in one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in the world.”
Series creator J.T. Rogers added: “Writing and then making the first season of ‘Tokyo Vice’ with this remarkable group of artists was a matchless experience. So I’m over the moon that we get to keep going. I can’t wait to get back to work in Tokyo with our brilliant cast and crew. Stay tuned: there are twists and turns in the tale to come!”
If you haven’t watched this show yet, you’ve got to check it out. It’s a really well-made show that tells an intruguing story.
