Back in April it was announced that the drama would continue with a second season and a theatrical film as well, with the return of stars Erika Toda (live-action Death Note's Misa Amane) and Shota Matsuda (live-action Hana Yori Dango's Sojiro). It looks like the entire rest of the cast and crew is back on hand.
A bit more info on these continuations was just announced. The new TV season is creatively titled Liar Game Season 2, and is will start in November, airing on Tuesdays at 9pm on Fuji TV. (The image above is from the first season, so ignore the date and time info in the corner.)
The movie is due to hit theaters on February 6, 2010, distributed by Touhou. A mobile phone site is being developed to talk about the story, which seems to involve a “virtual” Liar Game as well as the “real” Liar Game.
Liar Game is one of those cool-sounding series that makes me wonder why VIZ hasn't brought it out in the US yet (it's a Shueisha title). It sounds like a natural progression for fans of series like Death Note, and the dramas are hugely popular too, which probably suits manga, anime, and live-action distributor VIZ (although I don't know if they've released any J-dramas yet, just movies so far?).
Any of you familiar with Liar Game, be it the drama or the manga?
