Netflix may be betting on another foreign hit to be a huge success for the streaming service in 2025.
During Netflix’sInternational Showcasethis past week, the streaming giant teased a ton of upcoming non-English language shows and movies.
But only one of them has been described as “‘Shogun’ meets ‘Squid Game’.”
This isn’t the first we’ve heard of “Last Samurai Standing.”
The show had initially been teased back in April when Netflix announced it was adapting the award-winning manga.
As previously mentioned, this show is Japanese-language and based on the manga “Ikusagami.”
It’s set in the Meiji period of 19th century Japan when the samurai’s power started to wane.
Among the competitors is Shujiro Saga, who will be played by Junichi Okada.
Shujiro’s goal is to win the money to save his ailing wife and child.
