by

The prequel anime series to *My Hero Academia*, titled *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes*, will return for a second season next year. While *My Hero Academia* is also gearing up for its final season this October, fans have even more to look forward to, as the *Vigilantes* spinoff will continue the story with a full season of new episodes after the main anime concludes.

Fans of *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes* have a new update and a first look at the series’ main heroes! Season 2 is officially confirmed to premiere in January 2026. The announcement came after the first season ended earlier this year, and a new poster has been released offering a sneak peek at what’s to come.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 Returns January 2026

Season 2 of *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes* is set to debut in January 2026 as part of the Winter anime lineup. While a specific release date hasn’t been revealed yet, new episodes will be available on Crunchyroll when they premiere. You can also watch the first season on Crunchyroll, with both Japanese and English audio options. Fans have a lot to anticipate in the upcoming episodes!

The first season of *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes*, created by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, was directed by Kenichi Suzuki at Bones Film. Yosuke Kuroda wrote the scripts, Takahiko Yoshida designed the characters, and Yukihiro Watanabe was the art director. Haruko Nobori handled the color design, and Yuki Hayashi composed the music. While it’s not confirmed if the same team will work on the new season, the voice actors are expected to return next year. Given the quick turnaround for the second season, major changes to the crew are unlikely.

What’s Coming in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2?

The series *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes* is unique because it’s set years before the main story, offering a look at what the world of heroes was like when they weren’t as common. The first season focused on a group of three heroes operating outside the law, and has already started to show the origins of characters we know from the main series – both heroes and villains.

Season 2 of *My Hero Academia: Vigilantes* is set to escalate the story significantly. It will likely adapt the important Shota Aizawa prequel arc, providing key backstory for the main *My Hero Academia* series. Plus, expect to see more familiar heroes from the main series appear. This season promises to be particularly impactful, especially now that the main *My Hero Academia* story has concluded.
