Tokyo, Japan – The popular anime series Clevatess, based on Yuji Iwahara’s dark fantasy manga, has been officially renewed for a second season, announced today immediately following the broadcast of its 12th and final first-season episode in Japan. The new season will be titled Clevatess II -Majū no Ō to Itsuwari no Yūsha Denshō- (Clevatess II -The King of Magical Beasts and the Legend of the False Hero-).
The announcement was accompanied by a celebratory visual drawn by character designer Souichirou Sako, sparking excitement among fans of the series. While no specific release date has been revealed, the news confirms the continuation of the fantastical tale that premiered in July 2025.
Second Season Details and Expectations
The official reveal for Clevatess II comes as the first season concluded its run on various Japanese networks, including AT-X, Tokyo MX, and BS NTV, among others. Crunchyroll streamed the first season concurrently with its Japanese broadcast, and it is highly anticipated that the platform will also carry the second season.
Original author Yuji Iwahara shared his enthusiasm for the confirmed second season, noting that the setting will undergo significant changes from the first season. He encouraged fans to look forward to the continued adventures of Clen, the unraveling secrets of the hero’s legend, and the further challenges and growth of Alicia.
Production and Voice Cast
Studio Lay-duce was responsible for animating the first season, with Kiyotaka Taguchi at the helm as director. Keigo Koyanagi handled the series composition, and Nobuaki Nobusawa composed the music. The core voice cast from the first season is expected to return, featuring talents such as Yūichi Nakamura as Clevatess, Haruka Shiraishi as Alicia, and Mutsumi Tamura as Clen.
The first season introduced viewers to Clevatess, one of the Lords of Dark Beasts, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he revives a hero he had previously slain and adopts an orphaned humanoid baby. This unlikely trio becomes humanity’s last hope to save a dying world, setting the stage for a compelling dark fantasy narrative.
Release Window Speculation
While an official release date for Clevatess II has not been disclosed, industry estimates suggest that new seasons for anime typically take at least a year to produce. Based on these production cycles, it is reasonable to anticipate the second season could premiere sometime between Q3 2026 and Q1 2027. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates regarding the production timeline and a concrete premiere date.
