New photos of Tokyo Vice Season 2 offer a first look at the return of the Max show starring Ansel Elgort as Jake Adelstein.
“Loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction, first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, the crime drama series, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s (played by Ansel Elgort) daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late 90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem,” reads the official Max logline.

When will Tokyo Vice Season 2 debut, and what to expect?
The second installment is set to debut in 2024, picking up where the first installment left off. Season 2 begins as Samantha has opened her own club. Meanwhile, Adelstein continues to work on his reporting skills while diving further into the criminal world of Tokyo.
Tokyo Vice Season 2 will also introduce new characters, including Shoko Nagata (Miki Maya) and Naoki Hayama (Yosuke Kubozuka). Nagata is a detective from Japan’s National Police Agency. Hayama, meanwhile, is poised to be a dangerous criminal.
Along with Elgort, the cast includes Ken Watanabe, Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller, Ella Rumpf, Hideaki Ito, Show Kasamatsu, and Tomohisa Yamashita.
Tony Award-winning playwright J.T. Rogers created and wrote the series and also serves as executive producer.
