Tokyo Vice built an extensive and detailed world of late 20th-century Tokyo for two seasons. The story was crafted to span two seasons as Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort) investigated the Yakuza and succeeded in taking down one of the biggest crime bosses. While the story was tied up nicely at the end of Season 2, there was still much more to explore. Max opted not to proceed with a third season despite both seasons' outstanding reception from critics and the audience. Variety caught up with Alan Poul and J.T. Rogers, the minds behind the show, and they talked about what they had planned for the show before the Max news.
