It has been confirmed that The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2's English dub will premiere on Crunchyroll on May 4, at 2 PM PT or 5 PM ET.

Crunchyroll tends to wait until two or three weeks into the anime season before announcing what shows will be dubbed. The announcement regarding Spring 2022 dubs was released on April 11th, in line with timescales for previous seasons.

Following an announcement, there is usually a further delay of a few weeks before the first dubbed episode is released (with the exception of the Spy x Family dub this season).

Therefore, the gap between an anime’s first subbed episode and the first dub release can often be around one month or sometimes longer. In this sense, Shield Hero Season 2 is on schedule – the first episode aired in Japan on April 6.

Crunchyroll has confirmed that Naofumi will have a new voice actor for The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2. The rest of the main cast remains from the first season.

Kametz has been replaced for Season 2 by Stephen Fu, who recently voiced Noé in The Case Study of Vanitas.

Erica Mendez continues her role as Raphtalia, and likewise Brianna Knickerbocker as Filo.

Some of the notable voices for the new stars of Season 2 include Dawn M. Bennett (Shizue in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) as Eclair and Sean Chiplock (Subaru in Re:Zero) as Kyo
