Bet, Netflix's gripping live-action adaptation of the popular manga Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler, has captivated audiences with its high-stakes drama and psychological thrills. Since its debut, fans have been buzzing with questions: Will there be a Bet Season 2? As of May 21, 2025, here's a comprehensive look at all the available information about the future of Bet Season 2. Has Bet Been Renewed for Season 2?
As of now, Netflix has not officially confirmed whether Bet will return for a second season. The lack of an official announcement has left fans speculating, with some sources suggesting that the show's fate may still be under consideration. According to What's on Netflix , it could take several weeks for Netflix to make a decision, as the streaming platform often evaluates viewership data and audience reception before renewing a series. Potential Release Date for Bet Season 2
Since Netflix has not yet greenlit Bet Season 2, no official release date has been announced. If the show is renewed in the coming months, production timelines suggest a possible release window in late 2026 or early 2027, based on typical Netflix production schedules. For comparison, other Netflix series like Ransom Canyon have projected release windows around fall 2026 after early production starts. Who Would Return in the Bet Season 2 Cast?
If Bet Season 2 is renewed, the majority of the main cast is expected to return, with Miku Martinez likely reprising her role as Yumeko Jabami, the cunning and charismatic protagonist. Moviedelic notes that Yumeko is central to the story, making Martinez's return almost certain if the show continues.
Other key characters, such as Mary Saotome, Ryota Suzui, and Kirari Momobami, are also expected to feature prominently, assuming their actors return. New characters from the manga could be introduced, adding fresh faces to the cast. However, no official casting announcements have been made at this stage. What Could the Plot of Bet Season 2 Be?
The first season of Bet follows Yumeko Jabami, a transfer student at Hyakkaou Private Academy, where gambling determines the hierarchy among students. The intense psychological battles and intricate character dynamics left viewers craving more. If Bet Season 2 is greenlit, it's likely to dive deeper into the Kakegurui manga's rich storyline, exploring new gambling challenges and character arcs.

The Real Winner of ‘Squid Game' Is Hwang Dong-hyuk
'Squid Game,' the candy-colored South Korean series about a deadly competition, premiered on Netflix in 2021 and almost immediately became an international sensation. Hwang Dong-hyuk, who wrote and directed the series, could hardly believe it. 'Literally, I pinched myself,' he said, gripping the skin of his cheek. 'It was very surreal to me.' Hwang was speaking — sometimes in English, sometimes through an interpreter — earlier this month in the breakfast room of a luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan. The series was conceived in far shabbier locations. In 2009, having earned a master's in film at the University of Southern California, he found himself back in South Korea, broke and demoralized. Spending his days huddled in cafes, reading grisly comic books and sliding deeper into debt, he began to dream up a story about a competition, based on popular children's games, in which players would either solve all their money woes or die. No one would finance that nascent feature until nearly a decade later, when Netflix came calling. In its first season, 'Squid Game' became the streamer's most popular series ever, spawning think pieces, spinoffs, memes, bobblehead dolls. You could buy a 'Squid Game' tracksuit, emblazoned with 456, the player number of the show's protagonist, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae). You could participate in less lethal recreations of the games, with on-site snack bars and a gift shop. A capitalist satire had become a capitalist triumph. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Squid Game star praises 'unpredictable' ending as creator reveals fears
Squid Game is coming to an end with its hotly-anticipated third season, which Lee Jung-jae has described as having the 'most unpredictable, most meaningful and the most intriguing ending possible' — but the show's creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is still in two minds about it. Speaking at a press conference in London for the Netflix juggernaut, the showrunner admitted he had a hard time coming up with a satisfying conclusion to the story. Season 3 returns to Gi-hun (Lee) as a broken man after his rebellion against the leaders of the deadly games failed and led to his friend's death. As the players that are left decide to keep playing, Gi-hun is forced to question his mission and also his faith in humanity. There are a lot of twists and turns in store for viewers in the final episodes, and when asked about the hardest decision he had to make director Hwang shared: "Even when I was writing the season 3 I had to make a big decision because this is the finale of the whole series, the whole show. "So that decision was so difficult to make. I'm still thinking about whether it's good or not, but the viewers will see." Lee and his co-stars Lee Byung-hun and Park Gyu-young, who play the Front Man and Pink Guard No-eul respectively, were effusive in their praise of how Hwang's chose to close out the series. "I thought that director Huang's decision that he had made... he was very determined," Lee Jung-jae said. "I'm sure that he went through a lot of internal debate and struggles because, as we all know, this series has been just hugely successful. So when it's a story that big, how do you bring that to a close as director, writer and creator? And especially for a character like Gi-hun, where do you take him? "And so I know that he listened to a lot of other people's ideas as well, we would have discussions among ourselves, among the cast. He would also discuss it with me and the crew as well, but I believe that director Hwang came up with the most adequate, the most unpredictable, the most meaningful and the most intriguing and entertaining ending possible. "So personally, I am very happy with the finale and you all are going to be able to see where it all ends soon. But I can guarantee you it's not going to be what you think." Lee Byung-hun, on the other hand, implied that while the finale gives the series a satisfying conclusion he feels there's room for more if the audience craves it. "Director Hwang keeps saying it's a finale," the actor reflected. "When I first read it I felt it could be a finale but, at the same time, it could be a new start. I'm not sure [if it definitely is], that's my personal opinion, but if the audience's love and support increase you never know what might happen!" Park added that she looked at the series as a fan, having come into it later than her co-stars, and so that gives her a different and interesting angle: "If I answer it's as a fan, as one of the audience. So if season 2 was the explanation of the expanded universe of Squid Game, in Season 3 all those questions will be answered really clearly and all the characters will make their own decisions and break through all the hardships they're going through." Squid Game season 3 premieres on Netflix on Friday, 27 June.
