On Thursday, a press conference was held to announce details about the planned "LIAR GAME" sequel. It was first mentioned in April that the popular drama series was getting a second season and feature-length film.
Based on a manga by Shinobu Kaitani, "LIAR GAME" originally aired in 2007. Toda Erika starred as an honest young woman who gets involved in a high-stakes game of deception, aided by an expert swindler (Matsuda Shota).
The sequel will continue from the first season, with the main cast returning, including Kichise Michiko, Suzuki Kosuke, and Watanabe Ikkei. In the drama, the players will face off in four games and a semifinal round, while the final game will take place in the movie, titled "LIAR GAME: The Final Stage."
Yasutaka Nakata (of capsule) will once again be handling the show’s music.
Fuji TV will start airing the drama in November, and the movie will open in theaters in February 2010.

Finally!
I sure hope Nao (Toda Erika’s character) will be less clueless this time around. But I’m very much looking forward to this. I wonder if it’ll get the same timeslot as last time or one with more exposure during Golden Time…
I read on wiki that Liar Game 2 got the different time slot ..
it will be aired on Tuesday 21.00
on November after Otomen…
Btw, shota n toda so funny together in the first pic
Oh, so it will be on a different timeslot – on the new “experimental” timeslot that ignores season bondaries. Great news. Thanks for that info!
