Last One Standing is returning for its second season, featuring the popular and dynamic Japanese comedy duo, Chidori, and produced by Nobuyuki Sakuma.

In this exciting competition, comedians and talents engage in intense talk battles to advance to the next stage, where they take on roles in a thrilling drama alongside seasoned actors. A notable aspect of this drama is that a portion of it remains unscripted, requiring the cast to share their stories in their own words. If their jokes fall flat during these unscripted scenes, they face elimination from the show. Following the premiere of Season 1, Last One Standing secured a spot in Netflixs Weekly Top 10 for four consecutive weeks in Japan, drawing fans for its endless humor and to discover who would emerge as the last comedian standing.

Season 2 promises a thrilling competition with new faces, beginning with an action-packed opening. This seasons setting takes a significant leap in scale, with the story unfolding in a sprawling hospital fraught with a mysterious organization embroiled in a conspiracy. As the new contestants become entangled in this dramatic incident, audiences can expect to witness explosions, mysterious monsters, gunfights, and infections, elements rarely seen in comedy shows. While the contestants play their roles in the drama, they aim to outdo each other with humorous anecdotes of painful experiences when the first unscripted scene arises, adding an extra layer of entertainment.

The impressive lineup of contestants includes Daigo in a leading role, along with Ken Watabe, Soichi Nakaoka, Koji Nishida, Yuki Hirako, Akira Kawashima, Toshiyuki Itakura, Yusuke, Kazuko Kurosawa, Nao Hashimoto, Jiro, Minamikawa, Kazuya Kunizaki, Hiroyuki Iguchi, Kan Yamazoe, Maki Fukuda, Hiccorohee, Anna Murashige, Mogura Suzuki, Nagisa Shibuya, Kuritani Yoshizumi, Takashi Sakai, collaborating with renowned actors Yu Shirota, Kanata Hongo, Karen Otomo, Aya Asahina, Yoshimasa Kondo, and Masahiro Takashima.
