Max has released the trailer for Season 2 of its original crime drama series “Tokyo Vice,” which will premiere on the streamer on Feb. 8 with the release of two episodes. Subsequently, one episode will debut every week for eight weeks.
Written and created by J.T. Rogers, Ansel Elgort stars as an American journalist from Missouri living in Tokyo.
