If you thought the first season of Moriarty the Patriot was intense, you're in for a wild ride with the second season set to premiere in April 2021!
In the first season, we meet and learn about William James Moriarty, a man who lives in late 19th century England and though he was adopted into an upper-class family, he has an intense hated for the aristocracy of his era. Working as a "crime consultant", Moriarty has his own unique view of the world, which is why when he meets another man named Sherlock Holmes, his interest is piqued. What follows is a game of cat and mouse between the two men as they attempt to outwit and even outdo each other in matters of intelligence as they travel around Victorian England solving crimes and attempting to reshape the world into their own unique visions of what is right and what is wrong.
Originally a manga series that has been running in the shonen magazine Jump Square since August 2016, the series is written by Ryosuke Takeuchi and illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi. It's been collected in 13 volumes as of November 2020. Viz Media licensed the series for an English release and has released 2 volumes as of January 2021. The anime adaptation is being produced by powerhouse studio Production I.G, with the first season airing in October 2020.

Moriarty the Patriot Season 2 Trailer
"Catch me if you can" is a sentence that doesn't get thrown around much any longer, but in the mouth of William Moriarty, it holds gravitas and heavy weight. Just the tone that he uses when he speaks the words is dripping with not arrogance but sheer competence. Just listening to him, you know that this is a man who knows how to take care of himself in virtually any situation. It makes you think about the person in front of you and makes you wonder what would happen if you were forced to do battle against him.
The second season of Moriarty the Patriot is ready to serve up the main event that the first season has built up. Will taking a season break make this series cool down at all? It's difficult to say, but I think it's fair to assume that fans will flock back to this one to see the thrilling conclusion to the game being played by two experts.
