The eagerly anticipated reality show on Netflix called Dubai Bling will highlight the ultra-luxurious lifestyle of Dubai and society through its elite group of influencers, entrepreneurs, and high-fliers. Fans will not be disappointed by the thrill and excitement of Season 4, featuring even more opulent drama, shifting alliances, lavish parties, and romance, along with rivalries following the explosive twists from Season 3 of Dubai Bling in 2025! In January 2026, Netflix confirmed that Season 4 of Dubai Bling had been renewed via a teaser trailer that featured returning stars such as Safa Siddiqui, Zeina Khoury, Mona Kattan, Ebraheem Al Samadi, and Farhana Bodi, and new members Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom.
86 Season 2: Release Date Speculation
Currently, there is no distinct date for an official release of AaT, as Aniplex (the company that produces the show), A-1 Pictures (the animation studio that creates the series), or anyone else associated with the project has yet to make an announcement about the sequel to the show.
There has been some speculation that production has begun or will commence based on some leaks and rumors from mid-2025 onward, with many of these being from loyal insiders who have posted very reliable information on social media, including YouTube videos and posts made using X/Twitter (which are now called both of those).
Based on some unconfirmed rumors and patterns exhibited by similarly popular anime series produced by A-1 Pictures, there is speculation that there may be a chance of a potential late 2026 broadcast or even potentially early to mid-2027.
One source contends that there is an official announcement for the sequel in 2026; they state that it was included with an image/illustration from Shirabii (the artist/illustrator of A@T and the many source material used to create A@T’s world and characters); however, this seems to have come from unverified leaks as there are no verified reports from the studio regarding said announcement.
Anime projects can, for many reasons, face delays, especially those by A-1 Pictures, as they have many other ongoing projects (including other ones produced by themselves). In fact, there have been no significant events (like Aniplex Online Festival) to announce A@T’s return to television recently.
Fans on sites such as Reddit (r/EightySix) and different forums express their frustration concerning the long wait time, and others discard the latest leaks as either false or untrustworthy.
86 Season 2: Cast
If a sequel is produced, it would likely retain the core voice cast from the original series:
- Shōya Chiba as Shinei “Shin” Nouzen (the protagonist, handler of the Spearhead Squadron).
- Ikumi Hasegawa as Vladilena “Lena” Milizé (the Republic officer who connects with Shin).
- Supporting roles like the surviving Spearhead members (e.g., Raiden, Theo, Anju, Kurena) and others from the Giad Federacy would return.
No new cast announcements exist yet.
86 Season 2: Plot Details
The current anime series (23 episodes) covers the plot of the first volumes of the light novels, focusing on:
- The San Magnolia Republic vs Legion conflict (the autonomous drone army)
- The discrimination against the “86” (non-Alba), who are treated like they’re less than human
- Shin’s ability to hear the Legion and the trauma associated with that ability
- The emotional tie between Shin and Lena as they communicate using the Para-RAID
- The Spearhead Squadron’s struggle for survival, which also includes their relocation to the Giad Federation
Any potential sequel would follow the later arcs of the light novels (after volume 3/7, depending on exact coverage) and would involve a continued war with the Legion
More exploration of the heritage of the Empire, along with new threats or new alliances, and progression of the main characters (e.g., Shin’s and Lena’s relationship, battles in various new territories)
The themes of war, prejudice, and identity will still exist, along with a continuing theme of hope.
The source material continues! (All of the Light Novels will continue to come out over time) So there’s more than enough source material for continuation.
