The popular TBS drama VIVANT, starring Masato Sakai, is getting a movie adaptation set for release in theaters across Japan on December 4, including IMAX screenings.

The announcement was made at the end of the second season's finale, which aired on November 8.

VIVANT follows Beppan, a secret organization operating under Japan's Self-Defense Forces. The first season premiered in July 2023 and became a major hit, attracting more than 60 million viewers, including time-shifted viewing. The second season began airing in July 2026.

The upcoming film will continue the story following the second season's finale, which ended with a red manju appearing at a shrine, signaling an emergency summons for Beppan.

Following the broadcast, Sakai appeared in a video message teasing the film, saying, "Did you notice anything unusual about the finale you just watched? It seems we'll need to embark on a new adventure to uncover the truth. And that new adventure will be on the big screen!"

The film will be directed, written, and produced by Katsuo Fukuzawa. Further details are expected on November 11.
