Netflix made an live-action adaptation of the original work (filmed and made in Japan, Netflix is only the producers and distributor) if anyone is interested. Imo it's really good with acting, production and world building. It is confirmed for a 2nd season.

Alice in Borderland Season 2 is expected to premiere sometime in December of 2022. So there’s still a bit of a wait, but it’ll make for a great binge-watch over the holiday season!
While there hasn’t been an official announcement, fans have noted that the first season covered roughly the first 31 chapters of the original manga, with 33 still left to be explored. This could mean we’d be seeing a season of comparable length to the first one.
Again, there has been no official mention of returning cast, but according to IMDb, the series leads Kento Yamazaki as Arisu and Tao Tsuchiya as Usagi are confirmed, along with recurring characters Kuina, Rizuna and Shuntaro.
There’s not much to speak of on this front currently - only a quick teaser that gives away very little. Released on Christmas Eve 2020, the teaser simply confirms that a second season is on its way, as a little early Christmas present for fans. Check it out below:
A young man obsessed with gaming, Arisu is thrown into a deadly contest in a mysteriously deserted Tokyo. Along with his two friends, Arisu faces a series of challenges directed by an unseen force, with the difficulty and deadliness of each denoted by the suit and number of a playing card.
With the final episode of Season 1 dramatically expanding the scope of the series, it’s safe to say that anything could happen! But more specifically, it is likely that Arisu and Usagi will continue to seek out the final cards they require, which will likely have them clash with Mira Kano, the Queen of Hearts introduced late in season 1.
According to a casting call for extras put out by Robot Communications Inc. - the production company behind Alice in Borderland - the series shot in multiple locations across Japan, including the “Kanto area, Toyama, Hyogo, Fukuoka, Aichi, Osaka [and] Wakayama”. Shooting has already wrapped, having finished up at the end of 2021.
