The long-awaited sequel to the anime adaptation of the light novel series Saga of Tanya the Evil (Yōjo Senki) is finally moving forward. A new teaser confirms that the second season will premiere in 2026 — nearly nine years after the first season’s debut and seven years after the movie continuation. For fans who have been waiting to see Tanya back in the sky, this is a long-overdue return.
Almost the entire main creative team and voice cast are returning for the sequel, ensuring a sense of continuity and familiarity that fans value. However, there is one major change behind the scenes: newcomer director Takayuki Yamamoto will helm the project, taking over from Yutaka Uemura. Yamamoto previously worked on episodes of popular action series such as Bungo Stray Dogs and My Hero Academia, which suggests the intense aerial combat and dark humor of Tanya’s world are in capable hands.
