by

The anime series Black Clover is returning with new episodes next year! A new trailer has given fans their first glimpse of what’s in store. The original anime ended almost five years ago, and fans have been eagerly awaiting its return ever since. The first season left viewers on a major cliffhanger, so now we’ll finally see how the final battles play out for Asta and his friends.

Fans are excited to hear that Black Clover is returning for a new season after almost five years! Shueisha made the announcement at Jump Festa 2026, and they’ve now revealed a first look at the upcoming season. You can find the preview below.

What to Know for Black Clover Season 2

The second season of Black Clover is scheduled to premiere next year, and Crunchyroll will be the exclusive streaming platform outside of Japan. While the exact number of episodes hasn’t been announced, it’s expected to be shorter than the first season, which had 170 episodes. The new season will likely have a streamlined schedule.

Anime production isn’t happening as quickly as it used to. Even popular series like One Piece, which previously released episodes weekly, will switch to a seasonal release schedule starting in 2026. The return of Black Clover is being called a second season, suggesting it will also move to a seasonal format with 13 to 26 episodes at a time. More details about this change will likely be announced closer to its return.

What’s Next for Black Clover?

With the Black Clover anime coming back, the original manga is also heading towards its conclusion. The manga, created by Yuki Tabata, has been releasing new chapters every three months as it builds towards its epic ending, with Asta and Yuno joining forces against the ultimate enemy. New chapters will arrive in January, and the series is expected to finish sometime before the end of 2026.

If you’re a fan of Black Clover, there’s plenty to look forward to with new anime episodes and manga chapters coming out over the next year! Now’s a great time to catch up. You can watch the first season on Crunchyroll, and read the newest manga chapters on Shueisha’s MangaPlus or through Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump.
