Netflix announced The Boyfriend has officially been picked up for season two on Monday morning (December 16) in Tokyo.

The dating show was a hit globally and in Japan, making Netflix’s Top 10 list for six weeks in a row after it’s July release.

“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,” Dai Ota, a Netflix producer in Japan, shared in a statement via THR. “In season one 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. Thanks to the love from our viewers, it is exciting to return for a new season.”

“In season two, 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.”

The Boyfriend season two is said to be debuting in early 2025.
