The creators, J.T. Rogers and Alan Poul, have some ideas for future seasons if Warner Bros. Discovery gives them the green light.
They talked to Collider about the possibility of a third season and the plans they have, assuming they get to make more episodes.
Fans hoping for news about the next season of Tokyo Vice will have to wait patiently this time. The creators, J.T. Rogers and Alan Poul, don’t have control over the decision.
They’re waiting to hear from Warner Bros. about whether they can make more episodes. They’re excited about the possibility of continuing the story in Japan for Season 3.
Upcoming seasons of Tokyo Vice will keep building on Jake Adelstein’s book.
Rogers has already planned out what could happen next, and everyone involved in making the show is eager to see it happen.
The team previously told that they aimed to conclude the main storyline and tie up loose ends from Season 1 in Season 2, thanks to close collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery.
However, Poul notes that the company wanted to see the finished season before deciding on the show’s future.
Despite this, Poul remains hopeful, especially considering the growing audience the second season has attracted.
Rogers agreed and said he’s excited to see new viewers catching up on the show and experiencing its intense moments for the first time.
He mentioned how the enthusiasm for Season 2 has grown, attracting a wider audience. Now, more people are watching Season 1 because they’re hearing about it from friends and others.
Rogers often receives messages from people watching the show late at night, eager to share their reactions to specific moments.
Poul and Rogers still need to figure out many things about Tokyo Vice
The first two seasons of Tokyo Vice are based on Jake Adelstein’s memoir of the same name, which reflects his experiences working for the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun for 12 years.
While Adelstein’s story remains central to the series, creator J.T. Rogers and his team have left out some of Adelstein’s tales that could be used in future seasons.
Rogers jokingly said he could make five seasons just to see Alan, the director, fall down even more, but in reality, he sees potential for another significant storyline.
Rogers’ plans for how long the story will continue are still up in the air. They need to figure out where Jake’s character will go next and what it will take to make it happen.
They haven’t decided on a specific format yet, whether it’s longer seasons or shorter ones. Regardless, expanding the domain of crime and corruption will be a big challenge.
Rogers is working on a story that could span one or two seasons, but they’ll have to discuss with Warner Bros. Discovery to see what’s possible.
Poul thinks it might be best to focus on one-season storylines, given the uncertainty of show renewals nowadays.
This approach ensures each season can stand on its own without leaving unfinished business behind.
