Celebrated for its genuine portrayal of romance and friendship among young men, the breakout Japanese reality series The Boyfriend has been renewed for a second season. Season 1, which premiered on July 9, won over viewers worldwide, securing a spot in the Netflix Weekly Top 10 (Series) in Japan for six consecutive weeks.
The impact of the first season reached far beyond Japan, with all nine participants gaining significant attention both locally and internationally. Their social following skyrocketed, growing by an average of 120 times since the show's release. The boys have also appeared on TV variety shows, graced magazine covers, and been recognized as top icons of the year by online media outlets.
In Season 2, audiences can expect to meet a new group of boys who will share their stories. Hosts MEGUMI, Chiaki Horan, Thelma Aoyama, Durian Lollobrigida, and Yoshimi Tokui will once again guide viewers through the experiences of these young men during their time together.
Thanks to the love from our viewers, it is exciting to return for a new season. Being the first same-sex romance reality show in Japan, we paid careful attention to ensure that the story is an authentic portrayal of these relationships. In Season 1, we showed not just romance, but their friendship and meaningful connections with one another, which I believe touched the hearts of fans around the world, says Dai Ota, producer at Netflix.
He adds, In Season 2, we will continue to showcase their compassion and stories of growth, with more unique perspectives and backstories. Please look forward to a new season with new participants, a new Green Room, and new storytelling.
Relive it all with Season 1 of The Boyfriend, now streaming on Netflix.
