‘Alice in Borderland’ (今際の国のアリス) is a Japanese fantasy/sci-fi thriller TV series directed by Shinsuke Sato.

Based on a manga by Haro Aso, the series follows an aimless gamer and his two friends who find themselves in a parallel Tokyo, where they’re forced to compete in a series of sadistic games to survive. The cast includes Kento Yamazaki, Tao Tsuchiya, Nijiro Murakami, Yuki Morinaga, Keita Machida, Ayaka Miyoshi, Dori Sakurada, Aya Asahina, and Shuntaro Yanagi.

Synopsis: Ryohei Alice (Kento Yamazaki), a listless, jobless and video-game-obsessed young man sees a strange light and suddenly finds himself in a mysteriously emptied out version of Tokyo along with his two best friends. They quickly discover that in this world, they must compete in one dangerous game after another in order to survive. This is a sci-fi thriller that combines the drama of human survival with the suspense of psychological gamesmanship.

‘Alice in Borderland’ begins airing on Netflix on December 10, 2020.
