“Tokyo Vice” Season 2 is underway on Max, continuing the story of real-life journalist Jake Adelstein and his investigations around organized crime in Japan in the late 1990s. Show creator J.T. Rogers and director/executive producer Alan Poul, as well as stars Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, took TheWrap through where the show’s second season is going and what it’s exploring.
“The rough shape of both seasons was set for me at the beginning” of the series, Rogers said, “but as you make something, you learn what it is.”
After shooting and editing Season 1, Rogers found himself wanting two things heading into Season 2.
