Monday, June 17, 2024, saw Bandai Namco Filmworks officially confirm that I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince season 2 was on the way, immediately following the first season’s conclusion. While an announcement graphic was released alongside the news, it didn’t share any additional details, nor were any revealed by Bandai Namco Filmworks beyond the second season’s production.

This includes release details for I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince season 2, which have yet to be touched on in any capacity by Bandai Namco Filmworks as of this article’s writing. However, it’s speculated that the series should return by the end of the 2025 calendar year with the start of its second television anime season.

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince season 2 will serve as the continuation of the television anime adaptation of author Kenkyo na Circle and illustrator Meru’s original light novel series of the same name. The story first began as a web novel on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in October 2019 by Circle, with this format still ongoing today.

As of this article’s writing, it’s unclear what direction I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince season 2 will go in following season 1's conclusion.

The anime stars Makoto Koichi as Lloyd, Fairouz Ai as Grim, Lynn as Sylpha, Akira Sekine as Tao, Rie Takahashi as Ren, Shun Horie as Albert, Yuya Hirose as Dian, Akane Kumada as Alieze, and Eriko Matsui as Shiro.
