As of the time of writing this article, Handyman Saitou in Another World has not been renewed for a second season. However, given that it has only been about a week since the final episode of the anime aired, fans can expect Studio C2C to announce Handyman Saitou in Another World season 2 sometime later.

While several anime sequels are immediately announced after the first season finishes airing, it is not unknown for an anime studio to wait for some time before making its decision public.

A common misconception within the industry is that often unpopular anime do not get announced immediately. However, the same was observed in the case of Bungo Stray Dogs season 4, as the latest season premiered nearly four years after the end of the previous season.

Often anime studios try to take their time analyzing the profits gained from the anime, only after which they decide upon the production of further seasons. Majorly all anime are produced to boost the sales of its original source, i.e., the manga. Thus, in the case of Handyman Saitou in Another World season 2, if a noticeable increase in sales of the manga and merchandise can be observed, the producers can decide and confirm the production for the same.

Moreover, another requirement for a sequel anime is the availability of the source material. Handyman Saitou in Another World is currently ongoing, having released eight volumes to date. As for the anime's first season, it adapted the story from the first four volumes, thus the animation studio has over four volumes worth of content for a possible second season.
