'Drifting Dragons', Netflix's adaptation of Taku Kuwabara's 'Kūtei Doragonzu', has had quite a successful debut on the streaming platform and fans are already speculating whether the show will get a second season or not. Netflix is yet to confirm whether the series will return for a Season 2 but we expect to hear about it very soon.

The anime series follows the adventures of a crew of dragon hunters as they chase fame and fortune in the skies. It is based on a manga series initially published in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine 'good! Afternoon', with a 12-episode Season 1 already available on Netflix.

Here’s everything you need to know about Season 2:

Release Date

As Season 2 is yet to be confirmed, there's no release date yet. The first season of 'Drifting Dragons' arrived on Netflix on April 30. The series has already been broadcast in Japan on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block with its first episode premiering on January 8. Hopefully, Season 2 will also follow a similar schedule but we'll be bringing you the confirmed date as soon as it is announced.

Plot

'Drifting Dragons' focuses on the Quin Zaza, a dragon-hunting ship, and its crew of fearless hunters as they embark on a set of amazing adventures. The first season focused on expert hunter Mika (Tomoaki Maeno), newbie Takita (Sora Amamiya), and the stern-yet-earnest Jiro / Giraud (Sōma Saitō) as they each grew and evolved in their own way aboard the ship. The show blends action and comedy with breathtaking visuals and interesting moral explorations of activities like hunting and whaling. 

Here's the official synopsis, courtesy of the show's website: "Dragons, the rulers of the sky. To many people on the surface, they are a dire threat, but at the same time, a valuable source of medicine, oil, and food. There are those who hunt the dragons. They travel the skies in dragon-hunting airships. This is the story of one of those ships, the 'Quin Zaza', and its crew."

We'll be updating this section with plot details about Season 2 as soon as they become available. Season 1 did end with the promise of more stories to come so it does seem quite likely we'll be getting an announcement about Season 2 soon enough. Perhaps Mika might finally get to eat the poisoned dragon meat or maybe Jiro gets a chance to settle down and have a happy ending with his beloved Katja (Ayane Sakura). We'll just have to wait and see.
