So you finished Netflix’s Alice In Borderland Season 2 and don’t know what to watch next? Well, we have you covered with anime, live-action series, and films that all hit key elements of the hit Netflix Original series. Based on the manga of the same name, there are a couple of key features to the series. First, it’s an isekai, a genre of anime and manga where characters are transported to another world.

Second and this is the big one, games. The survival of the main character Arisu in the series hinges on his ability to beat the games that he is thrown into, which takes both a physical and psychological toll on the character. Third and finally, no character is safe. Alice in Borderland doesn’t coddle its cast in plot armor to say the least. So, with those elements in mind, we put together a list of what to watch after Alice in Borderland Season 2.
