Japanese Manga Adaptation ‘Bet’ Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix Following Global Top 10 Success


Netflix has renewed 'Bet,' the live-action series inspired by the Japanese manga 'Kakegurui,' for a second season.

The first season follows the arrival of Yumeko (Miku Martineau), an exceptionally talented gambler with a shadowy past whose betting prowess and secret quest for revenge threaten to upend the school’s established power structure. Martineau, known for her work in “Kate” and “Star Trek: Section 31,” leads an ensemble cast that includes Ayo Solanke, Eve Edwards, Clara Alexandrova, Hunter Cardinal, Anwen O’Driscoll, Aviva Mongillo, Laura Afelskie, Dorian Giordano, Emma Elle Paterson, Ryan Sutherland, and Peter Outerbridge. “I’m extremely happy for our amazing ‘Bet’ fans from all over the world, who get to enjoy another season, and for this incredible cast and crew to return to St. Dominic’s for more gambling and general madness,” said director and showrunner Simon Barry.
