9 Years Later, Major Dark Isekai Anime Returns With New Trailer for Season 2

After almost ten years, fans of the dark fantasy series Yojo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil are getting a second season, set to premiere in Summer 2026. A new trailer has just been released, and the announcement comes alongside the return of many other popular franchises after long waits for new episodes. Fans have eagerly anticipated this continuation of Tanya’s story, and it seems the wait is almost over.

The anime series Saga of Tanya the Evil finished its first season in 2017 and fans have been waiting for more ever since. After a four-year wait, a new season was announced, and now we have a confirmed release date! Season 2 of Saga of Tanya the Evil will premiere in July. You can find a new trailer and poster below.

Season 2 of Saga of Tanya the Evil is scheduled to premiere in Japan in July 2026, though an exact release date and details about international streaming are still to come. Fans can currently watch the first season and movie on Crunchyroll. The series also features its characters in the Isekai Quartet anime, which is part of the larger Kadokawa franchise. While a new season has been a long wait, the franchise has remained active for over a decade.

Season 2 of Saga of Tanya the Evil will have a new director, Takayuki Yamamoto, taking over from Yutaka Uemura at Studio NUT. Kenta Ihara is returning to write the scripts, and Yuji Hosogoe will once again handle character design and chief animation direction. Fans are hoping the new season will be as strong as the first, which made a big impression nearly ten years ago.

What to Know for Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2

Season 2 of Saga of Tanya the Evil will bring back the original voice actors, including Aoi Yuki as Tanya Degurechaff, Saori Hayami as Visha, Shinichiro Miki as Rerugen, Tessho Genda as Rudersdorf, and Hochu Otsuka as Zettour. Joining the cast this season are Tomokazu Sugita as Mikel and Yoko Hikasa as Lilya, though their roles within the ongoing war remain to be seen.

When Saga of Tanya the Evil first came out almost ten years ago, it was a really unique and surprising anime in the ‘isekai’ genre. While many other equally creative ‘isekai’ series have emerged since then, fans are hoping the long-awaited second season will recapture the impact it had originally and stand out from the crowd.
