The show’s success has been further solidified by its international viewership, and Netflix is eager to continue the journey. Season 2 details are yet to be revealed, leaving fans in suspense about the next chapter in Mizu’s gripping tale of vengeance.

Blue Eye Samurai offers a unique blend of historical drama, action, and a touch of mystery, making it a standout addition to Netflix’s diverse lineup.
