An intriguing legal drama has taken Netflix by storm. Based on the manga series by Shohei Manabe, Sins of Kujo revolves around a lawyer who protects bad guys. What could possibly go wrong?
The Japanese production has already spent two weeks on the Netflix charts and is currently the fourth most-watched non-English show on the platform. With 2.2 million views last week, it also made the Top 10 in three countries. Could this mean more episodes are on the way? Here’s what we know so far.
Sins of Kujo Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news about a potential Sins of Kujo season 2. That said, the title isn’t listed as a limited series, and viewership numbers are promising so far.
Netflix frequently waits to assess audience reactions before making a decision, so it might be a while before we learn more about the show’s fate. If all goes well, new episodes could arrive sometime in 2027.

What Is Sins of Kujo About?
A dark legal drama, Sins of Kujo revolves around Taiza Kujo, a lawyer who routinely takes on clients with a long list of crimes under their belt, including ties with the yakuza. While this affects his reputation, not everyone is deterred. Young lawyer Shinji Karasuma joins his practice, hoping to discover what compels Kujo to defend such complicated individuals.
At first, it’s tricky to figure out whether you should root for Kujo. As the episodes go by, though, you learn there is more to the lawyer than meets the eye. The show offers a mix of legal cases, while also telling a compelling story about Kujo and his developing bromance with Karasuma. If you like series that centre on an anti-hero type of figure, there’s a good chance you’ll be hooked.
The first season ending hints at a continuation, so it will be interesting to see what Sins of Kujo season 2 might bring. The lawyer is still steadfast in his decision to uphold the justice system, but he’s in more danger than ever before. Fingers crossed he’ll get a chance to reunite with Karasuma sometime in the near future.
