Quick answer: Witch Watch Season 2 is officially coming in 2027. No exact premiere date, broadcaster or staff list has been announced yet. The news landed on November 15, 2026 (US time), the same day Kenta Shinohara’s manga ended in Weekly Shonen Jump.
The Witch Watch TV anime is getting a second season. The official anime website announced that Season 2 will air in 2027 and revealed a new teaser visual of Nico making a heart with her hands and winking. The timing is not an accident: Kenta Shinohara’s original manga reached its final chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 51, which went on sale Monday, November 16 in Japan (Sunday, November 15 in the US).
What was announced
- Season 2: confirmed to air in 2027.
- Teaser visual: Nico Wakatsuki forming a heart with her hands, posted on the official site and the official @WITCHWATCHanime account.
- Cast comments: six main cast members wrote messages about the manga’s ending: Rina Kawaguchi (Nico), Ryota Suzuki (Morihito Otogi), Kohei Amasaki (Kanshi Kazamatsuri), Kaito Ishikawa (Keigo Magami), Yuki Wakai (Miharu Kiryu) and Tomori Kusunoki (Nemu Miyao).
The best detail is buried in those comments. Wakai says the Season 2 recording sessions are already underway, and that the cast is “laughing so hard our stomachs hurt” in the booth. That suggests the new season is well into production, even without a date.
What has not been announced
The official post gives no premiere month, no broadcaster and no staff or studio details for Season 2. Season 1 aired on MBS and TBS from April to October 2025, split into two parts, but nothing official says Season 2 will return to the same time slot. Treat any specific month you see online as a guess until the official site updates.
How to catch up before Season 2
Season 1 premiered in Japan on April 6, 2025, and streamed outside Japan on Crunchyroll and Netflix, according to Anime News Network. If you want to know where the story goes, the manga is the place to look. VIZ Media publishes it in English, and VIZ’s Shonen Jump chapter list shows Chapter 270, dated November 15, 2026, as the newest chapter, marked free (VIZ points readers to its partner MANGA Plus for the latest free chapters). The series started in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2021, so the run lasted about five and a half years. Shinohara is also the creator of Sket Dance and Astra Lost in Space.
Game Beacon’s take
Witch Watch was one of the easiest comedy anime to recommend in 2025: a witch, her ogre familiar bodyguard and a house full of chaos. Announcing Season 2 on the day the manga ends is a smart move, because it gives fans something to look forward to instead of just saying goodbye. The cast saying recording has already started is the encouraging part. We would not be surprised to see a firm date in the first half of 2027, but nothing is confirmed yet. We will update this when the official site names a premiere date.
