Sunday Theater 'VIVANT' Season 2
Three years after the conclusion of Season 1, which aired in July 2023, this sequel picks up immediately after the final scene of the previous season. Just after Noguchi Yujin (Sakai Masato) returns from a series of missions involving the international terrorist organization Tento, he sees a red manju (bun) placed at a shrine—the signal for an emergency summons to his special unit. What truly transpired behind the scenes on the day Yujin shot his father, Nogon Beki (Yakusho Koji), the leader of Tento, and on the day he reunited with Kaoru (Nikaido Fumi) and Jamine, embracing them tightly? The truth will be revealed in the first episode of Season 2.
[Streaming Start Date] Starting July 26 (Sun) immediately after broadcast (Airing Sundays at 9:00 p.m. on TBS)
