Charge your glasses. Apple TV+ is taking on Legendary Entertainment’s Drops of God Season 2.

Quoc Dang Tran’s French-Japanese drama adaptation of the smash manga series was a hit for the streamer, and Season 2 again will be bought rather than commissioned by Apple in a rare TV acquisitions deal.

Starring Fleur Geffrier (Das Boot) as Camille Léger and Tomohisa Yamashita (The Head) as Issei Tomine, Drops of God follows an estranged child who learns she must master and correctly identify the properties of 13 wines to assume control of her newly deceased father’s collection. In Season 2, Camille and Issei again face a nearly impossible challenge: to uncover the origin of the world’s most wonderful wine, a secret that even Alexandre Léger failed to unlock.

Deadline revealed last year that Apple beat a number of suitors to land the international series, which we hear had a budget of around $30M. It was mostly financed by France Télévisions and Hulu Japan, and majority deficit-financed by Legendary. Apple takes all world rights bar Japan, where Hulu Japan took Season 1 non-exclusively. France Télévisions also has French rights.

Speaking to Deadline for our Global Breakouts series last summer, Dang Tran said audiences “come for the wine but stay for the characters.”

Drops of God Season 2 will be directed by Oded Ruskin. Season 1 was created by Tran and produced by Klaus Zimmermann. A Legendary Entertainment production, the series is produced by Les Productions Dynamic in association with 22H22 and Adline Entertainment. Tomo is repped by Activist Artists Management, Satch Watanabe and Gersh.
