Netflix’s Wild Teen Gambling Drama 'Bet' Is Coming Back for Season 2

Netflix has officially gone all-in on Bet, its hot show with a 60 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Deadline reported that the streamer announced it has renewed the live-action thriller for a second season, bringing back the high-stakes world of underground gambling at an elite boarding school.

Based on the Japanese manga Kakegurui, Bet follows the twisted social hierarchy at St. Dominic's, where status isn't earned through grades or athletic ability, but through strategic, high-risk gambling. 

The arrival of Yumeko, a mysterious transfer student played by Miku Martineau, quickly turns the school on its head. Her uncanny skill at games of chance and her hidden agenda set her on a collision course with the powerful student council.

The show's first season drew global buzz, landing in Netflix’s Top 10 English-language series for three straight weeks. Fans were quick to embrace its chaotic energy, stylized aesthetic, and the psychological warfare that played out in every hand dealt.

"I'm extremely happy for our amazing Bet fans from all over the world, who get to enjoy another season," said showrunner and director Simon Barry. "And for this incredible cast and crew to return to St. Dominic’s for more gambling and general madness."

Season 2 will feature 10 new episodes, each running 30 minutes, and promises to ramp up the psychological tension. 

The ensemble cast also includes Ayo Solanke, Eve Edwards, Clara Alexandrova, Hunter Cardinal, Anwen O’Driscoll, Aviva Mongillo, Laura Afelskie, Dorian Giordano, Emma Elle Paterson, Ryan Sutherland, and Peter Outerbridge.

Behind the scenes, Bet is produced by Boat Rocker, with Barry joined by executive producers Jeff F. King, David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg, Jon Rutherford, and Nick Nantell.

With its mix of elite privilege, cutthroat gamesmanship, and revenge-fueled drama, Bet has carved out a unique space in Netflix's teen thriller lineup. And if the first season is any indication, viewers can expect season two to double down on the chaos.
