Black Summoner is another isekai anime that flew under the radar in 2022. Based on Doufu Mayoi’s light novel, the series shows us the story of Kelvin and his adventures as a Summoner in the new world in which he’s reincarnated. The series was given an anime adaptation by Satelight in 2022 and is currently awaiting a Season 2.
However, it’s been nearly two years, and a second season hasn’t come out. So what gives? Was Season 2 canceled? Or is it just taking a long time to release? Here’s everything you need to know about Black Summoner: Season 2.
When Is Black Summoner: Season 2 Coming Out?
Unfortunately, Black Summoner: Season 2 has no official release date. It’s not even confirmed if Black Summoner: Season 2 will happen in the first place. This could be due to the mixed reviews from viewers, saying that the anime is quite generic and bland. Although the light novel is well-received, fans of the series considered that the anime was too rushed and that it cut several important details and events.
Given the mixed reception, the anime’s sales and popularity may not be enough for the studio to justify making a second season. Furthermore, Satelight could be busy working on other projects, such as Tasuketsu and Sousei no Aquarion: Myth of Emotions. Still, the studio hasn’t officially confirmed Black Summoner: Season 2’s cancellation, so there could still be hope.
What Could Black Summoner: Season 2 Be About?
If Black Summoner: Season 2 comes out, you can expect it to pick up right at the end of Volume 3 of the light novel. Specifically, Season 2 will likely cover Volumes 4-6 unless it decides to animate more chapters. The light novel has over 20 volumes, so there’s plenty of source material for another season.
For instance, Black Summoner: Season 2 will surely cover Kelvin’s promotion to Rank S after he defeated General Clive. It could also potentially feature a war after what Trycen did in the last season. We might even see Kelvin encounter the demon lord in Season 2, but we’ll have to wait and see if and when it does get released.
Black Summoner: Season 2 Potential Cast
While an official cast list has yet to be released, the following voice actors are expected to reprise their roles for Black Summoner: Season 2:
- Kouki Uchiyama (JP)/Van Barr Jr. (EN) as Kelvin
- Manaka Iwami (JP)/Bev Mageto (EN) as Efil
- Reina Ueda (JP)/Tia Ballard (EN) as Melfina
- Landi (JP)/Mary Morgan (EN) as Clotho
- Yousuke Akimoto (JP)/Bruce Carey (EN) as Gerard
- Minori Suzuki (JP)/Alexis Tipton (EN) as Sera
- Yume Miyamoto (JP)/Kristi Rothrock (EN) as Rion
Where To Watch Black Summoner in the US
Assuming it does get released, Black Summoner: Season 2 should be available on Crunchyroll for US viewers. It’s the platform licensed to stream the anime internationally, making it the go-to platform for Black Summoner. To watch on Crunchyroll, you’ll need a subscription that costs as low as $7.99/month up to $14.99/month, depending on the tier. You’ll also get a 14-day free trial for any paid subscription.
While waiting for Season 2, you can watch the first season of Black Summoner on Crunchyroll or purchase its episodes on Apple TV and Amazon Video.
Where To Watch Black Summoner in the UK
Like the US, Black Summoner: Season 2 should be released on Crunchyroll for the UK. In the UK, Crunchyroll subscription prices range from £4.99/month up to £5.99/month or £59.99/year, based on your chosen membership option.
Black Summoner: Season 1 is also available for streaming on Crunchyroll and purchase on Amazon Video and Apple TV for UK viewers.
How Many Episodes Could Black Summoner: Season 2 Have?
With no announcements from the studio, Black Summoner: Season 2’s episode count is currently unknown. It could even have zero episodes if Satelight doesn’t produce another season. On the off-chance it does get released, Black Summoner: Season 2 will likely have 12 episodes like the first season. Nevertheless, it could have more or less since the previous season was criticized for its pacing and cut content.
Black Summoner: Season 2 Trailer
As of writing, Black Summoner: Season 2 doesn’t have an official trailer. Since there’s no renewal in sight, it’s best not to get our hopes up for a trailer any time soon. Then again, never say never, as the studio hasn’t officially announced its cancellation.
