Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! Season 2 Confirms Release Date With New Trailer

The second season of Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! is scheduled to premiere on July 2nd as part of the Summer 2026 anime lineup. This release coincides with the tenth anniversary of the Bungo Stray Dogs franchise. Fans in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS will be able to watch it exclusively on Crunchyroll. The same production team from the first season is returning, with Toshihiro Kikuchi directing again for Studio Bones and Nomad.

Yudai Hanaoka will be the assistant director, with Toko Machida writing the scripts. Hiromi Daimi is in charge of character design, and Taku Iwasaki will compose the music. The anime’s original voice actors are also returning, including Yuto Uemura as Atsushi Nakajima, Mamoru Miyano as Osamu Dazai, Yoshimasa Hosoya as Doppo Kunikida, Sumire Morohoshi as Kyoka Izumi, Kensho Ono as Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and Kisho Taniyama as Chuya Nakahara, among others.

What’s Going on With Bungo Stray Dogs Season 6?

Season 5 of Bungo Stray Dogs finished airing in 2023, but there’s no news yet about whether Season 6 will happen. The manga is also currently paused after a significant plot development, leaving both the anime and manga’s futures uncertain. However, the new spinoff season proves that the series remains popular and important to Bones studio.

This new anime spin-off is lighter and more comedic than what some longtime fans of Bungo Stray Dogs might expect, but it’s still a good thing for the franchise. It keeps the series relevant and provides something for fans while they wait for the next main installment. Essentially, it bridges the gap and eases the wait! You can currently stream it on Crunchyroll.
