A new Netflix series has the internet buzzing, mainly due to the fact that it’s a live-action adaptation of a popular Japanese manga.
Bet, which debuted on the streaming service in May, is set at a private school where gambling determines social status. When a Japanese transfer student shows up, chaos ensues.
The show hit the Netflix top 10 in 32 countries, proving once again that viewers can’t get enough of thrilling teen dramas. Not only that, but a big chunk of the show’s fanbase is already asking for more.
Bet Season 2 Release Date
Bet arrived on Netflix on May 15, 2025. At the time of writing, the service hasn’t officially renewed the series for additional episodes.
That said, Bet Season 2 could still happen. Netflix sometimes wait a while before giving the green light. As long as viewing numbers are good, we’re gearing up for an exciting announcement. Depending on how production goes, more episode could premiere as early as 2026.

What Could Happen in Bet Season 2?
Bet is set at St. Dominic’s, an exclusive private boarding school for the global elite. The main story revolves around Yumeko, a mysterious transfer student with exceptional gambling skills. In a place where underground gambling dictates the social hierarchy, that’s unlikely to go unnoticed.
Soon, Yumeko’s arrival challenges the established order. It also puts her at odds with the powerful Student Council. Even so, Yumeko is driven by revenge, and will do anything it takes to reach her goals.
The first season ends with Yumeko succeeding in her quest, but the story is far from over. Turns out, there’s more at play than she initially thought.
Bet Season 2 might follow her as she goes on the run, but we don’t really see that happening. Instead, we’re guessing she’ll be back at the school, trying hard to make the people who wronged her pay for their misdeeds.
Either way, the stakes will get even higher. Consider us sat.
Is Bet Based on a Book?
No, but it’s a loose adaptation of the Japanese manga Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler by Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura. The manga was also adapted into an anime with the same name, available on Netflix.
