However, this is just speculation. There may be delays or changes due to various factors, the availability of source material or the studio’s workload. One of the anime staff members stated that the second season would “take a little more time” than expected. Therefore, we advise fans to wait for an official confirmation from the studio or the anime’s official website.

The plot of Seirei Gensouki Season 2 will likely continue from where the first season left off, and the first season covered up to volume 5 of the light novel series, which has 20 volumes as of November 2021. That means plenty of source material for the second season and beyond.
