Badly In Love Returns to Netflix for a Second Season

Great news for fans of romance reality shows. Netflix officially announced that Badly In Love will return for a second season on August 4, 2026. After a successful first season that explored the lives and relationships of people from Japan's yankii culture, this new installment promises even more drama and heart.

Season 2 moves the action from the city to the beaches of Okinawa. The new cast features nine members who are looking for a fresh start. We can expect the same focus on unexpected friendships and personal growth that made the original run so engaging. Plus, the show features a special treat for music fans. The official theme song is a 2026 remastered version of the classic SPEED hit Body and Soul to celebrate the group's 30th anniversary.

The series will rollout over three weeks in August. You can catch the first four episodes on August 4, followed by episodes 5 through 7 on August 11, and the final three episodes on August 18. Get ready for more romance and conflict when the show hits the platform later this year.
