“Bet” is a super fun Netflix teen show based on the manga Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler. It’s set at St. Dominic’s, a fancy school where kids gamble to be the best. The main character, Yumeko Jabami, is a new student who’s super smart and loves taking risks with her bets. She’s also on a mission to find out who hurt her parents. Season 1 came out on May 15, 2025, and fans are already excited for more! This post by Gourav Singh talks about the cast, what people are saying, and when Season 2 might happen, based on the latest news as of May 24, 2025, at 10:22 PM IST.
What Happened in Season 1?
Yumeko’s Big Plan
In Season 1, Yumeko (played by Miku Martineau) starts at St. Dominic’s, where gambling rules everything. She’s not just there to play—she wants to find out who killed her parents. With her friend Ryan (Ayo Solanke), she takes on the student council, who run the school’s gambling club. The finale was wild! Yumeko beat Ray, the dad of her classmate Michael, and found out the school board was part of her parents’ death. Ray also said her mom might be alive, leaving us with a big cliffhanger.
Cool Moments
The season ended with Yumeko teaming up with Kira (Clara Alexandrova), who used to be her rival but now wants to fight the gambling club too. They’re ready to take on Kira’s dad and others. The show mixed fun gambling games with teen drama, but some fans thought it was too different from the manga. Still, it’s in Netflix’s Top 10, so lots of people are watching!
Will There Be a Season 2?
Is It Happening?
As of May 24, 2025, Netflix hasn’t said if Bet will get a Season 2. The show just came out, so they’re probably checking how many people watch it. Another Netflix show, Forever, got a new season after six days because 3.7 million people watched it. Since Bet is in the Top 10, that’s a good sign! But some fans didn’t love it, so Netflix might take a bit to decide. People on X are posting stuff like, “Bet was so good, I need Season 2 now! #BETNetflix.”
When Could It Come Out?
If Netflix says yes to Season 2, it might take a while. Season 1 was filmed from May to July 2024 and came out in May 2025, about a year later. If Season 2 follows that, we could see it in summer or fall 2026, like July or August. But nothing’s set yet, so we’ll keep you updated.
Who’s in the Cast?
The Main Stars
If Season 2 happens, these actors will probably be back:
- Miku Martineau as Yumeko Jabami: She plays the brave, clever Yumeko, who’s awesome at gambling. Fans love Miku, so she’s definitely coming back.
- Ayo Solanke as Ryan: Yumeko’s best friend who helps her out. Ayo makes Ryan funny and loyal.
- Clara Alexandrova as Kira: Kira went from enemy to friend, and she’s ready to fight with Yumeko.
- Hunter Cardinal as Michael: Michael’s dad got taken down, so he might be mad in Season 2.
- Aviva Mongillo as Dori: Dori likes Michael, so her story could get bigger.
- Eve Edwards as Mary: Mary’s a “house pet” at school, and she might have a bigger role next.
New People
Season 2 could add new characters, like more gambling club members or bad guys from the school board. There’s a chance Yumeko’s mom, Keiko (played by Emily Shelton), could show up if Yumeko finds her. No new actors are confirmed, but fans are excited for more drama.
What Might Happen in Season 2?
Yumeko’s Next Adventure
Season 1 ended with Yumeko learning her mom might be alive, but Ray, who knew where she was, is gone. She’s also after the school board for what they did to her parents. Season 2 could show Yumeko and Kira playing new gambling games to catch the bad guys. There’s also a crypto key worth $30 billion tied to Yumeko’s mom, which could be a big deal.
Yumeko and Kira’s Friendship
Yumeko and Kira’s new team-up is exciting. They didn’t get along before, but now they’re working together. Season 2 might show them becoming closer or arguing about how to fight the gambling club. Kira’s sister, Riri, who works with the school board, could make things tricky.
Michael’s Story
Michael might turn against Yumeko after what happened to his dad. He could start his own plan, making him a new enemy. This would add lots of drama, with friendships breaking apart.
What Fans Think
Love and Complaints
Some fans really love Bet! They think Miku is perfect as Yumeko and enjoy the show’s fun vibe. But others, especially Kakegurui manga fans, say the games aren’t as good, and some acting feels “cringe.” X posts are mixed—one said, “Bet is so awesome, need more!” while another called the costumes “bad.” Still, the show’s Top 10 spot shows it’s popular.
Why It’s Important
Bet mixes teen drama with crazy gambling, which makes it stand out. The big twist about Yumeko’s mom keeps fans talking. If enough people watch, Netflix might give us more.
Final Thoughts
Bet Season 2 isn’t confirmed yet, but the Season 1 ending was so exciting! Yumeko, Ryan, and Kira could bring more cool bets, and Michael’s drama might shake things up. The cast is awesome, and fans are hoping for news soon. Will Yumeko find her mom? Should Bet get another season? Tell me in the comments, and I’ll keep you posted on updates!
