The entire eight-episode second season of THE NAKED DIRECTOR dropped on Thursday, June 24, 2021 on Netflix. As the new Japanese Heisei era began in 1989, Muranishi stood at the summit of the adult video world, putting out a large number of videos in his themed series. However, none of them reached the legendary status of "I Like It S&M Style," the masterpiece he produced with Kuroki. Kuroki yearns to produce another work with Muranishi, but this desire is left unfulfilled as a gap slowly forms between them. During this time, Muranishi is urged to expand into satellite broadcasting. Moving toward his grand dream of "raining porn from the sky," Muranishi gathers more capital. Seeing this, Kawada questions Muranishi's decisions. However, Muranishi ignores the opinions of his close ally Kawada and breaks from him in order to launch a new company, Diamond Visual, where he begins to promote new actresses, including Mariko Nogi. Meanwhile, his former partner Toshi, who has become a yakuza under Furuya, holds complicated feelings toward Muranishi.
