Max announced today the premiere date for Season 2 of the critically-acclaimed crime thriller series Tokyo Vice. Check out the trailer.
Based on the book Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan, Jake Adelstein’s first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, Tokyo Vice the series follows the character of Jake Adelstein (Golden Globe® nominee Ansel Elgort, The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent) as he, the first foreign-born journalist on the staff of major Japanese newspaper Meicho Shimbun, explores the seedy and corrupt world of Tokyo’s criminal underworld and the Japanese yakuza at the start of the new millennium. Guiding Jake through the thin and often precarious line between the law and organized crime is Hiroto Katagiri (Academy Award® nominee Ken Watanabe, The Last Samurai, Inception), a veteran detective in the Tokyo Police’s organized crime division.
The ten-episode second season takes us deeper into the city’s criminal underworld as Jake comes to realize that his life, and the lives of those close to him, are in terrible danger.
