Summer nights are about to get bloodier—and steamier.
AMC Networks’ HIDIVE is turning up the heat this July with the exclusive return of the hit vampire romance Call of the Night for its long-awaited Season 2, premiering as part of the Summer 2025 simulcast lineup.
Adapted from Kotoyama’s award-winning manga, Call of the Night became an instant fan favorite with its atmospheric blend of late-night urban loneliness and electric supernatural chemistry between its lead couple—Ko, a high school insomniac, and Nazuna, the playful, unpredictable vampire who’s anything but your average bloodsucker. Now, the next chapter in their story is ready to unfold.
A Love Story in the Shadows Deepens
Season 2 picks up as Ko finally comes to terms with his feelings—and his fate. Accepting that he wants to become a vampire, Ko confesses he “likes” Nazuna. But Nazuna, still hilariously unfamiliar with the concept of love, responds the only way she knows how: by attempting to make Ko fall for her. Chaos, heartbeats, and late-night escapades ensue.
Meanwhile, Detective Anko Uguisu sharpens her fangs—figuratively speaking. Determined to purge the vampire threat, she sets her sights on Nazuna and others like her. As the story dives deeper, dark truths begin to surface: What is Nazuna’s hidden past? What secret do Anko and Nazuna share? And what happens when a vampire forgets the human life they once lived?
