Season 2 of Drops of God on Apple TV follows Camille (Fleur Geffrier) and Issei (Tomohisa Yamashita) as they take on a new challenge centered around uncovering the origin of the world’s greatest wine — a mystery their father, Alexandre Léger, was unable to solve.
Per the description for the second season, “Camille (Fleur Geffrier) and Issei (Tomohisa Yamashita) are thrust into their most perilous challenge yet: to uncover the origin of the world’s greatest wine, a mystery so profound that even their legendary father, Alexandre Léger, could not solve it. What begins as a pursuit of legacy, becomes a search for truth that spans continents and centuries, unearthing forgotten histories, hidden rivalries and secrets buried for generations. As the search pushes them to the edges of the world, and to the darkest corners of themselves — Camille and Issei must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice. The answer could shatter their bond as siblings… or destroy them both.”
Blavity’s Shadow and Act spoke with Geffrier and Yamashita about the evolving sibling dynamic, emotional challenges and what it was like filming across multiple countries.
Camille and Issei struggle with siblinghood in Season 2
At the end of Season 1, Camille and Issei discovered they were half-siblings. Season 2 picks up with the two characters navigating what that new relationship actually means.
“Actually, Camille and Issei’s relationship [gets] childish and selfish,” Yamashita told Blavity. “Because they knew, in the deep side of their mind, that family bond [is] unbroken. So that’s why [it] becomes selfish and childish. But I hope as the story goes, they find the solution.”
“They try to be siblings in [the] second season,” Geffrier added. “The first one, they discovered [it], and then second season, they try to be. But they found out that they were siblings at 30 years old, quite difficult, really. And they’re from different countries, different culture too. So sometimes they had [a] struggle to understand each other. I mean, not about the language, but I mean more about how they react and stuff. And they’re all a bit too much in their own little world and they don’t see what the other is struggling with. At the beginning of the season.”
The cast reflects on returning after a seemingly final ending
Although Season 1 concluded in a way that felt complete to many viewers, the cast shared that there was more story to tell.
“I mean, I was very happy,” Geffrier said. “I realized at one point, but yeah, Camille, she’s happy. She won the competition. But Issei, he lost it. And that’s hard because his biological father tells him somehow you don’t deserve it. And that’s a big trauma, I think. So I think we really needed to go deeper on this side of the story somehow.”
“Of course you’re right, the first season there is a nice end, and we thought it was going to be over,” she continued. “But then when they talked about [a] second season, and what [we’re going to do], that makes sense a lot for me.”
Yamashita said he anticipated a continuation because the manga includes more content.
“Original manga has a lot of story,” he said. “So I was guessing, I’m hoping maybe there’s a continuation. And then also that Alexander, the original story — Alexander, he’s crazy, right? I believe he’s hiding a lot of mysteries. We were very excited to [get] back to the set.”
Season 2 expands its story across five countries
This season not only goes deeper into personal history and emotional trauma but also expands its setting globally.
“We discover a beautiful country, Georgia. We go to Greece. We go to Spain, of course, Japan, of course, South of France,” Geffrier said. “Yeah, we go deeper in a lot of things. I mean, emotions, countries, relationships.”
Yamashita described how the travel mirrored the characters’ journeys.
“Human beings [are] just like wine — made up of many things that are intricately intertwined,” he said. “It’s very complicated. And also, this story reminds us all that we are part of nature. So the wine, each bottle has [a] different taste in the face and personality.”
He added, “So we are actually very excited to go to five countries, we travel together. Each wine, it’s different taste, mineralities. It’s [a] great experience.”
