A few months ago, Netflix confirmed that it has a samurai show in the works called “Last Samurai Standing.” Back then, all we had was a rough premise and the name of the lead star.
Now, we finally have the first look at this Japanese action-drama and a release window of November 2025, along with more plot details that make it sound perfect for fans of “Squid Game” and “Shogun.”
Even with just this first image, it’s already a must-binge for me this year. It shows Junichi Okada as Shujiro Saga, standing among a crowd of fighters, all ready for battle. His mission is to win the prize money to save his sick wife and child. “Last Samurai Standing” follows 300 samurai warriors who gather at Tenryuji Temple to battle it out in a high-stakes royale, all for the chance to win a 100 billion yen prize.
