# Where to Watch Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun (Season 2)

**Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun streams on HIDIVE and Netflix, and it's the second season that pushes the series' beautiful-nightmare formula to its most harrowing extreme yet. Riko, Reg, and Nanachi descend into the Sixth Layer and stumble onto the last thing anyone expected down there: a village. What starts as a strange, almost cozy detour becomes one of the most emotionally devastating arcs anime has produced. Gorgeous, grotesque, and nowhere near as kid-friendly as the art style suggests.**

- [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/80193163)

This season is on HIDIVE and Netflix, so you have two solid options and can pick whichever you already use. HIDIVE has long been the franchise's main streaming home in the West, so if you're coming in fresh and want the first season and the movie lined up ahead of this, it's a natural place to keep everything together. Netflix works fine if this season is all you're after or it's simply your default app.

## Synopsis

Picking up right where the film left off, the trio presses deeper into the Abyss and reaches the Sixth Layer, the point of no return, where the surface is a distant memory and the pit's rules turn crueler than ever. There they find something impossible in a place this hostile: an inhabited settlement with a long history all its own. Peeling back how that village came to exist, and what it cost, sends the season somewhere far darker and stranger than a simple descent. It's Made in Abyss doing what it does best, wrapping unbearable beauty around unbearable truth.

## Watch Order

This is the second season, and it slots in after a movie, so order matters more than usual here. Watch the first season, then the film Dawn of the Deep Soul, and only then this, because it opens the instant the movie ends with no recap. Anyone starting here will be lost, and frankly unprepared for how heavy it gets.
