The Black Clover anime is officially making a return. According to recent reports, the new season is scheduled to premiere in October 2026. Here's everything fans need to know about the upcoming season.
Crunchyroll has confirmed that it will handle international streaming when the new season airs. This means fans outside Japan can expect the episodes to be available on the same platform that streamed the original series.
The company has also confirmed that the first episode of Black Clover Season 2 will be screened during a special Anime Expo 2026 panel on July 4. The event will feature Gakuto Kajiwara, the voice of Asta, along with director Ayataka Tanemura.
The wait is finally over for Black Clover fans. The anime originally concluded in March 2021 after a successful run of 170 episodes, leaving viewers wondering when Asta's story would continue.
Crunchyroll has confirmed that Black Clover Season 2 will begin airing in October 2026. The new season will be directed by Ayataka Tanemura, who previously directed Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King and worked on the later arcs of the original anime series.
With a release window now in place and production actively underway, fans can finally look forward to the return of one of the most popular modern shonen anime.
The announcement has generated a lot of excitement within the Black Clover community. After waiting more than five years for the anime's return, many fans are eager to see Asta's journey continue.
Here are some of the most common reactions from the fanbase:
Many fans hope the new season will be a long-running adaptation rather than a short 12 or 24 episode production. Some are even hoping for a run of 100+ episodes.
Fans have also been joking about how long the wait has been. One popular comment making the rounds online is: "Black Clover Season 2 arrived before GTA 6 😂"
Manga readers are especially excited because they already know what story arcs are coming next. Some fans have described the upcoming material as some of the best content in the series. Their biggest concern, however, is the animation quality, as they hope the adaptation does justice to the manga.
A teaser has already been released, giving viewers a brief look at updated visuals and confirming that work on the season is underway.
