Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch the dad-turned-hitman strike again
Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 OTT Release Date: Hold on to your snacks, anime fans, Netflix just dropped a bomb. The trailer for Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 is out, and it looks every bit as explosive, emotional, and wild as fans had hoped. The official streaming date? July 14, 2025. Mark your calendars, because your favourite anime of 2025 is back with more punches, plot twists and heart.
So, what's the buzz all about?
In case you've been living under a rock (or just haven't tuned in yet), Sakamoto Days is based on the smash-hit manga by Yuto Suzuki. It tells the story of Taro Sakamoto, once Japan's most feared assassin, now a chubby, lovable family man running a local store with his wife and daughter. But don't let the apron fool you - when danger knocks, Sakamoto still packs the same deadly punch he always did.
Recap: What happened in Season 1 Part 1?
Part 1 of Season 1 hit Netflix back on January 11, 2025 and took the anime world by storm. For 10 straight weeks, it dominated the Netflix Global Top 10 (Non-English TV) list. We saw Sakamoto and his quirky-yet-lethal gang fend off deadly assassins sent by the mysterious villain known only as X (aka Slur).
Between the fast-paced fights, hilarious one-liners, and emotional moments that tugged at your heart, Sakamoto Days became an instant fan favourite.
What's new in Season 1 Part 2?
If you thought Part 1 was intense, Part 2 is here to raise the stakes and possibly your blood pressure. The trailer gives us a glimpse of a high-octane three-way showdown between Sakamoto's crew, the elite assassin force called The Order, and the sinister X (Slur). Yes, it's chaos. Yes, it's going to be awesome.
Directed by Masaki Watanabe, Netflix promises the upcoming one to have "bigger fights, more laughs, and new characters to fall in love with." And if you're someone who vibes with good music, the show has a treat for you too. The new opening theme, "Method" by Kroi, is already creating buzz online.

Cycling is like working out with a great view: Diganth and Aindrita
Among their many shared interests, actor-couple Diganth Manchale and Aindrita Ray both have a strong passion for cycling. This passion goes back to their respective childhood days. 'I grew up in a small town, and the one thing my friends and I did was cycle,' shares Diganth. Aindrita adds, 'I lived in the defense apartments, and back then evening bike rides with all the neighbourhood kids were a favourite.' Today, that passion is immediately evident upon entering their home. The first thing you'll notice is a wall proudly displaying two bicycles. 'Our cycles are our prized possessions; we love showing them off,' they say with a laugh. Excerpts from a conversation with the actor-couple on World Bicycle Day: 'INVEST IN GOOD CYCLING GEAR – IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE' Beyond their passion for the ride itself, Diganth and Aindrita are strong advocates for prioritising safety and comfort on two wheels. As cyclists who swear by the advantages of owning good gear, they emphasise that it doesn't pay to skimp on quality. 'A good helmet is a must. You'll also want to invest in padded cycling shorts to counter the firmness of the seats,' explains Diganth. Aindrita recounts a personal experience, sharing that she got away with just bruises after falling off her cycle once, 'thanks to the good-quality gloves. I can't imagine what would have happened otherwise.' 'FOR US, CYCLING IS NEVER MONOTONOUS' While Bengaluru once offered scenic routes for cyclists, Diganth and Aindrita lament that traffic has now taken over. The couple now head to scenic destinations like Nandi Hills, Sakleshpur, or Chikmagalur for their cycling adventures. 'The roads are emptier, and the views are just amazing. Honestly, with scenery like that, , it doesn't even feel like we're working out!' avers Aindrita. Diganth adds, 'This way, cycling never gets monotonous for us. ' 'BENGALURU HAS THE PERFECT TERRAIN FOR CYCLING, BUT…' Bengaluru's once-vibrant cycling culture has unfortunately, dwindled, Diganth and Aindrita observe. 'Back in the day, the city streets were bustling with cyclist. But now, there's just no space to cycle. Buildings and traffic have taken over, even though Bengaluru has the perfect terrain for it,' Diganth shares. Aindrita adds, 'There's a dedicated cycling track near Cubbon Park, but it's only about a 2km stretch. We hope Bengaluru will implement dedicated cycle lanes for enthusiasts like us. It's crucial for both our safety and the future of cycling in the city Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Imran Khan and Avantika Malik tied the knot in 2011 after dating each other since 2002. They welcomed their daughter, Imara Malik Khan, in 2014.

Avantika Malik about divorce In a conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit, Avantika confessed that coming to terms with the end of her relationship with Imran wasn't easy. 'I would have found it very difficult to walk away and say, 'This is it.' It's mostly because of the kind of human being I am. I am extremely emotional. Another reason is that, because my parents' marriage didn't work, I always felt this pressure to make mine work. I was too adamant that what was my reality as a child could not be my reality as an adult. That fear was too deep to walk away,' she expressed. 'Heroines look bigger than you': Imran Khan reveals the secret of bulked up on-screen heroes- 'Anabolic steroids and protein supplements' The worst thing she experienced She described moving out with her daughter from Imran's house as 'deeply painful'. 'It was very hard. It was the worst thing I had to go through. You just don't know anything anymore,' she stated. Avantika further added that she was fortunate to have some friends, family, and extended family who helped her cope with the situation and supported her throughout. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Promoções imperdíveis de voos baratos Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo In an old interview with Janice Sequeira, Avantika shared that she believed she wouldn't be able to survive without Imran, as she wasn't even earning at the time.

Netflix Tudum 2025: Did Bridgerton Season 4 or Queen Charlotte Season 2 feature during the event?
Fans tuning into Netflix Tudum 2025 , the streamer's global fan event held on May 31 at the packed Kia Forum in Los Angeles, were treated to a flurry of announcements and exclusive content. However, those eagerly awaiting updates on Bridgerton Season 4 were met with a surprising omission — the Regency-era favourite was notably absent from the main stage. Despite high-profile reveals for popular titles such as Stranger Things , Wednesday , Squid Game , and Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man , the sprawling Bridgerton Cinematic Universe made only a brief appearance, and it came in the form of a low-key cameo by Queen Charlotte actor Corey Mylchreest, as mentioned in a report by Tom's Guide. No Main Stage Spotlight, But Season 4 Has Not Been Forgotten While Bridgerton Season 4 did not receive new footage or trailer reveals during Tudum itself, Netflix had already offered fans a first look at the upcoming season earlier in May during its annual Upfronts event for advertisers. At that presentation, a short teaser scene introduced viewers to Benedict Bridgerton , portrayed by Luke Thompson, encountering Sophie Baek, played by newcomer Yerin Ha, at an elegant masquerade ball. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Truque caseiro noturno eficaz contra a papada (faça hoje mesmo) Revista & Saúde Saiba Mais Undo This romantic moment sets the tone for the season, which is expected to closely follow Julia Quinn's An Offer From a Gentleman , the third book in the Bridgerton series, and Benedict's central love story. The early preview assures fans that while the show did not feature prominently at Tudum 2025, the series is progressing steadily behind the scenes. Season 4 Arriving in 2026 Netflix confirmed that Bridgerton Season 4 will officially release in 2026, continuing the platform's commitment to adapting Julia Quinn's beloved novels. Season 4 marks the midway point in the streamer's previously announced eight-season plan, which aims to chronicle the romantic journeys of each Bridgerton sibling. Live Events The show has been renewed through Season 6, cementing its long-term presence on the platform. With four siblings — Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth — still waiting their turn in the spotlight, future seasons are expected to bring their stories to the forefront. Familiar Faces and New Arrivals In addition to Thompson and Ha, Bridgerton Season 4 will see the return of fan favourites including Jonathan Bailey, Nicola Coughlan, Claudia Jessie, Simone Ashley, and Golda Rosheuvel. New additions to the cast include Isabella Wei, Michelle Mao, and Katie Leung, who will portray members of Sophie Baek's stepfamily, adding new layers to the upcoming season's social and emotional landscape. Absence at Tudum Doesn't Dim Hype Although Bridgerton's main series was not showcased during Tudum's packed programming, fans can take heart in the teaser already unveiled this month. The lack of fresh footage at Tudum may have left some viewers curious, but the early look provided at Netflix's Upfronts, coupled with the confirmation of a 2026 release date, ensures anticipation remains strong. As Netflix shifts its focus to blockbuster finales and high-profile premieres, the Bridgerton saga continues to unfurl its tale with quiet confidence, and Season 4 appears ready to waltz into its next chapter. FAQs Was Bridgerton Season 4 featured at Netflix Tudum 2025? No, Bridgerton Season 4 did not appear on the main stage at Tudum 2025. However, a cameo by Queen Charlotte actor Corey Mylchreest briefly acknowledged the franchise. Has any footage from Season 4 been released? Yes. A teaser scene debuted at Netflix's May 2025 Upfronts, showing Benedict Bridgerton meeting Sophie Baek at a masquerade ball, hinting at the season's romantic tone.
