The Witch and the Beast has proven to be an interesting fantasy anime for fans of gothic stories. But will The Witch and the Beast season 2 happen? Here are our predictions.
How Likely Is The Witch and the Beast Season 2?
As of writing, The Witch and the Beast season 2 has not been confirmed, so we can only make predictions about its possible continuation.
With a 7.17/10 rating on MyAnimeList, the anime does have a fanbase, though it isn't the winter 2024 season's most popular series.
Moreover, Yokohama Animation Lab, the studio producing the series, doesn't have a huge portfolio of works yet, nor a track record of producing sequels.
The one exception is Tawawa on Monday 2, whose first season was the work of another studio, PINE JAM.
This isn't definitive proof that The Witch and the Beast season 2 is impossible, as its studio is still growing. Alternatively, another studio could pick it up.
That being said, we will have to wait for an official announcement before reaching conclusions about The Witch and the Beast's possible second season.
The Witch and the Beast Season 2 Release Date Predictions
As of writing, The Witch and the Beast season 2 remains unconfirmed, so it does not have a release date.
What's more, the dark fantasy anime has not announced a second cour so far, so any further content would be at least a year away.
Many anime sequels get announced as soon as right after the first season ends.
The Witch and the Beast has a 10-volume manga that is currently ongoing, which means the story has a lot more potential past its first season.
With the manga currently being on hiatus due to the creator's health, it would make sense to wait for more content unless an anime studio decides to continue the story independently.
It might be a while before we find out more about Guideau's true form, but if any further information is announced about a second season, we'll update this space with all the news.
