As the Spring 2025 anime season nears its conclusion, the Summer anime lineup is set to debut in July. One of the outstanding Spring anime series has recently announced a second season. The Spring 2025 anime schedule boasted several exciting titles when it began a few months back, and there were also highly anticipated anime adaptations on fans’ radar. However, one title that caught viewers off guard with its consistent quality was “From Rustic Villager to Master Swordsman,” which has been gaining significant popularity week by week.
The transformation from Rustic Villager to Skilled Swordsmaster has been gaining traction on Prime Video since its debut this Spring, and enthusiasts have been given exciting news that the show will return for additional episodes. After the broadcast of the season’s final anime episode, a special sneak peek trailer for From Rustic Villager to Master Swordsman has been unveiled, hinting at a second season set to premiere next year. Take a look at it below.
What to Know for From Old Country Bumpkin Season 2
Titled “From Rustic Villager to Skilled Bladesman, Season 2 is slated for a release in 2026, though an exact date has yet to be announced at this point. If you’d like to get up-to-speed with the events that have unfolded so far, you can stream the first season on Amazon Prime Video, available with both English and Japanese subtitles.

Why You Should Watch From Old Country Bumpkin
The television adaptation based on Shigeru Sagazaki and Tetsuhiro Nabeshima’s “From Rustic Peasant to Master Swordsman: My Protégés Have Grown, Yet They Still Haunt Me” light novel series didn’t debut this Spring as one of the highly anticipated new releases. However, it has managed to win over fans with each episode that aired, gradually capturing their hearts. Initially, the story was simple and subdued, following a character who modestly tried to evade his destiny as a master swordsman. But as more episodes unfolded, the plot grew increasingly action-packed, constantly thrusting the protagonist into more chaotic circumstances each week.
As I observed, the initial season reached its peak with him having to rescue the princess from a band of assassins, undeniably increasing his notoriety as the story unfolded. With From Rustic Peasant to Elite Swordsman set to resume its anime sequel next year, it’s reasonable to anticipate that its fanbase will grow even larger in the coming days. Should viewers continue to stream the series on Prime Video, it becomes increasingly evident that a second wave of episodes is already being prepared.
