# Where to Watch Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

**Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 is on Netflix and Crunchyroll, and it's the season that cemented the show as one of anime's great tragedies. Picking up after the fallout of the Black Rebellion, R2 hands Lelouch a board reset and a whole new game to win — bigger gambits, higher stakes, and mind games that keep escalating right to the end. If R1 left you reeling, this is the conclusion you owe yourself.**

## Where to Watch

- [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/code-geass)
- [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/80065146)

Netflix and Crunchyroll both stream R2. Crunchyroll keeps it right next to the first season, which is handy if you're going straight from R1; Netflix is the easy call if it's already in your subscriptions. Either way, watch the first season first.

## Synopsis

Time has passed since the Black Rebellion collapsed, and the masked revolutionary Zero is gone — his Black Knights scattered, his cause seemingly buried, and the occupied territory back under the empire's boot. Life carries on for one Britannian student who slips away from Ashford Academy to hustle at the chessboard, oblivious to how closely he's being watched. When the buried truth of his own past comes roaring back, the mastermind behind the mask is drawn out of hiding once more — and the rebellion he walked away from is about to reignite on a far larger scale, with the fate of nations riding on his every gambit.
