Is Like a Dragon: Yakuza only 3 episodes? (Full release schedule)

As a long-time fan of immersive storytelling and gripping narratives, I must say that the anticipation for the Japanese original series Like a Dragon: Yakuza on Prime Video has been palpable! Though my gaming skills may not be up to par with some, I’ve learned over the years that the captivating storylines of these adaptations can easily draw you in without any prior knowledge. And this show is no exception!


The Japanese original series titled Like a Dragon: Yakuza has arrived, and it’s an especially thrilling moment for those who are acquainted with the SEGA video game that forms the basis of the Prime Video production. However, even if you’re not well-versed in the gaming side of things, you can still appreciate the narrative. And just like its counterparts, this one doesn’t require prior knowledge of games to immerse yourself in the storyline!

On October 24, 2024, Like a Dragon: Yakuza made its debut on Prime Video. However, you might have observed that only three episodes are currently available for streaming. This leads to some confusion – is this an entire season? Is there a second season in the works? Streaming platforms can occasionally be unpredictable with their release patterns and the length of seasons. Here’s what we know!

Like a Dragon: Yakuza is 6 episodes long

The initial three installments don’t constitute a full season for “Like a Dragon: Yakuza”. Instead, this series spans an overall total of 6 episodes.

The second part of “Yakuza” is set to debut on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, with the remaining three episodes following suit on Prime Video. Here’s a look at the release schedule:

  • Episode 1 – Oct. 24

  • Episode 3 – Oct. 24
  • Episode 4 – Oct. 31
  • Episode 5 – Oct. 31
  • Episode 6 (final) – Oct. 31

There’s currently no confirmation about a second season for the crime-action thriller. For now, let’s focus on anticipating the upcoming second half of the season to find out where the narrative unfolds. The cast includes Ryoma Takeuchi, Kento Kaku, Munetaka Aoki, and others in the critically acclaimed series Like a Dragon: Yakuza. This show delves into the complex world of Japanese mafia-like groups, the yakuza, where we’ll witness diverse familial bonds marked by both affection and conflict.
