"Last Samurai Standing": Netflix Blends "Shōgun" with "Squid Game" in Epic New Samurai Series

Netflix is gearing up for its next big series hype: "Last Samurai Standing." The series, starring Japanese superstar Junichi Okada, is described as a blend of the authenticity of "Shōgun" and the deadly thrill of "Squid Game."

The story is set in 1878 Japan, a post-samurai period when these famed warriors and their swords were left on society's scrap heap as the country's feudal system ended. A group of these warriors follows a mysterious invitation to the historic Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto. There, they are promised a prize of 100 billion yen—but the cost is a bloody fight to the death where only one can survive.

The series is adapted from the bestselling "Ikusagami" novel series by Shogo Imamura and is a passion project for star Junichi Okada, who aims to modernize the classic period drama for a new, contemporary audience.

The series promises a bloody and honorable homage to the era of the samurai. While the warriors in "Last Samurai Standing" fight for their survival, their legacy and the soul of their blades live on. For fans of the samurai code and the art of the Japanese sword, there is an opportunity to hold a piece of this fascinating history in their hands.
