“Gannibal” Devours Records: Most-Watched Japanese Series on Disney+ APAC

The Gut-Wrenching Conclusion Arrives, and Fans Can’t Get Enough!

Remember the unsettling chill of “Gannibal”? The series that plunged us into the dark heart of a remote Japanese village, where secrets simmered and horrors lurked? Well, it’s back, and it’s devouring viewership records! After its initial 2022 shockwave, “Gannibal” Season 2 premiered on March 19th, swiftly becoming the most-watched Japanese series on Disney+ across all APAC markets this year.

Launching with a gripping two-episode premiere, the eight-episode Season 2 continues the nightmarish journey of police officer Daigo Agawa. He’s battling his inner demons while desperately trying to dismantle the monstrous Goto Family and expose the village’s alleged cannibalistic rituals. The stakes are higher, the tension is thicker, and the darkness is more profound.

This season also plunges deep into the twisted origins of the Goto family, introducing Yuri Tsunematsu (“Okaeri Mone,” “The Naked Director: Season 2”) as the young and terrifying Gin Goto, the matriarch. We’ll witness her rise to power in Kuge, her allure and madness twisting the village into a vortex of insanity. This exploration of Gin’s past adds a layer of chilling depth to the already unsettling narrative.

The familiar faces return, including Yuya Yagira (“Nobody Knows”), Show Kasamatsu (“Tokyo Vice”), Riho Yoshioka (“House of Ninjas”), Mitsuo Yoshihara (“Or Utopia”), Baijaku Nakamura (“The Blood of Wolves II”), and Mitsuko Baisho (“52-hertz Whales”). Joining them are fresh talents like Yuki Kura (“Shōgun”), Kosuke Toyohara (“Kuchinai Sakura”), and Hashizume Isao (“City Hunter”), adding new dimensions to the already complex world of “Gannibal.”

Dive into the first four episodes of “Gannibal” Season 2 now, and prepare for a weekly dose of terror. New episodes drop every Wednesday until April 23rd, exclusively on Disney+. Don’t miss the bone-chilling conclusion to this record-breaking series.
