Netflix has revealed six new cast members that will appear in Netflix’s Japanese drama series Alice in Borderland Season 2.
In case you don’t remember, season one concludes with Arisu and the surviving players conquering the Ten of Hearts challenge and learned who was behind the life-and-death games. They will now have to compete for the face cards set by Mira (aka the Queen of Hearts) and the other face cards citizens in order for them to be able to go back home.
