Black Clover Season 2 Returns With New Director and October Launch

The Studio Pierrot revival signals a production reboot focused on adapting the Spade Kingdom Raid and boosting the series' animation quality.

Overview

  • Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in October 2026 and will stream on Crunchyroll outside Japan, though no specific premiere date has been announced.
  • Footage shown at Anime Expo over the weekend gave attendees a first look at the new season, including a trailer, intense training sequences and a brief glimpse of Asta’s Devil Union form.
  • Ayataka Tanemura will direct the season for Studio Pierrot with Keiichiro Ochi on scripts, Itsuko Takeda and Kumiko Tokunaga on character design, Kosei Takahashi on prop design, and Minako Seki composing music.
  • The new run will adapt the Spade Kingdom Raid and begin material from the Final Wizard King/penultimate arc, a path made possible after Yūki Tabata’s Black Clover manga ended earlier in 2026.
  • Key details remain unconfirmed—episode count, exact release date and full rollout plan—and the staff’s push for higher-polish animation could mean a tighter, more production-heavy season rather than a long episodic run.
