Delicious in Dungeon season 2 is now in the works, much to fans' delight. While the anime aired for two consecutive cours, its immediate renewal isn't too surprising given the series' successful run this year.
Delicious in Dungeon Announces Season 2
The good news was revealed soon after the first season's 24th and final episode aired on Thursday, June 13. The announcement came with a visual and video announcement to celebrate the series' renewal.
The visual depicts Laios and his party with the walking mushrooms from episode 1.
Meanwhile, the video showcases key moments from the first season and teases the group's faceoff with Thistle the Mad Magician in a new footage presumably from season 2.
Delicious in Dungeon season 2's confirmation shouldn't come as a surprise, given that the series ranks highly every week based on Reddit discussions.
Throughout its run, it has comfortably sat in the top five list of the most-discussed anime on Reddit.
Moreover, the anime has enjoyed a positive reception from fans, as evidenced by its above-average score of 8.51/10 on MyAnimeList, with praise given for its animation, storytelling, and interesting characters.
When Will Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 Arrive? Release Date Predictions
Delicious in Dungeon season 2's confirmation did not reveal any details about its release date or window, which could indicate that the production for the sequel is still in its very early stages.
However, we can try to predict an approximate premiere window for the second season based on the previous one's announcement and release pattern.
Season 1 was initially announced in August 2022, and it premiered in January 2024 and ran until June of the same year.
Based on this, it would be safe to assume that the production for the second season might take over a year as well, especially if it also follows a two-cour release schedule.
As such, fans may likely expect season 2 to arrive sometime in late 2025, probably during the fall season.
What Will Delicious in Dungeon S2 Be About? Here's What We Think
The first season finished adapting until chapter 52 of the manga, which also concludes the Sixth Floor arc.
If the second season follows directly where the first one left off, fans may expect it to begin adapting chapter 53, which also marks the start of the First Floor Interlude arc.
In this arc, Laios and his party will encounter the walking mushrooms and get transformed into different races again.
A fateful encounter between Kabru and Mithrun and the Mad Magician and Chimera Falin will also take place, which should excite fans for the upcoming season.
