Why do we recommend watching ”Drops of God’ Season 2 on Apple TV?

This multilingual series is an Apple TV exclusive, so the only way that you can follow all of the drama is with a subscription to the streaming service.

Can you watch ‘Drops of God’ Season 2 for free?

New customers can definitely check out the first episode of the season for free (or the first two if they time it properly) thanks to Apple TV’s seven-day free trial. Other customers, who have recently bought some sort of Apple product, might also have access to longer trials, but the standard for signing up for the streamer on its own is one week.

If you want to watch the season weekly, as new episodes become available, after your free trial, you will need to sign up for a subscription. Apple TV currently only has one sign-up option, which runs $13 per month. This plan is ad-free and comes with access to the entire library of Apple’s acclaimed series and growing list of films.

However, if you can wait until mid-March, you will be able to binge the entire second season using the seven-day trial, after all of the episodes have dropped.

What is ‘Drops of God’ Season 2 about?

“Drops of God” has been one of the most universally lauded shows in recent memory and in Apple TV history. With a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes this French-Japanese drama is based on a bestselling Japanese manga series of the same name. The series stars Fleur Geffrier and Tomohisa Yamashita, as a man and woman who find themselves at odds over the inheritance of a one-of-a-kind wine collection. While both are experts in the field of oenology, the competition to claim the prize is about more than simply testing their sommelier skills.

In the second season, their characters (Camille and Issei) find themselves on a journey to discover the origin of the world’s greatest wine. What starts out as a search for legacy quickly becomes something far more personal: a continent-spanning quest for truth that stretches generations. As long-buried rivalries resurface and secrets once thought safely sealed find their ways back to light, Camille and Issei must decide what, and how much, they are willing to sacrifice.

When the cost of uncovering the truth becomes impossible to ignore, the two must decide just how much they’re willing to give up — a choice that could either redefine their bond or leave them both irreparably broken.
