Saga Of Tenya The Evil Season 2: Is It Renewed? All We Know So Far
Saga of Tanya the Evil is finally receiving its long-awaited second season. Here's everything we know so far.
Saga of Tanya the Evil is an anime that explores the concept of isekai heroes reincarnating as various forms. The protagonist, Tanya the Evil, is a cutthroat atheist businessman who is reincarnated as a little girl in an alternate version of WWI Imperial Germany. The anime's compelling concept is based on the original Japanese web novel by Carlo Zen.
However, the saga has seemingly come to a halt, with no new content since the anime's 2019 movie sequel. Fortunately, the show is finally receiving its long-awaited second season, which promises to provide nourishment for fans of the series. Season 2 will feature new content and a new perspective on the characters' lives and experiences.
Saga of Tanya the Evil gets an update on season 2
In June 2021, Kadokawa, the publisher of the manga adaptation and producer of the 2019 movie, announced the production of Season 2 of the anime Saga of Tanya the Evil. The anime's first season ended in 2017, and it had been two years by the time the Season 2 teaser dropped. The teaser confirmed that the story of Tanya will continue. 
Unfortunately, the trailer contains no footage and consists only of Lieutenant General Hans von Zettour having a one-sided conversation about the current state of the Empire and also doesn't offer any release date, only confirming that, "Season 2 is now aggressively in production."
Fans were hopeful that it would release at some point in 2022, but that was probably wishful thinking considering the scale of the series and the average production cycle for anime.
Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 is expected to be released in Japan in 2024, with dubbed versions requiring longer waits. Despite the series' popularity and Crunchyroll's licensing, fans can expect Tanya to return in action by the Winter 2025 season, with no concrete release date yet.
What will be the plot of Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2?
In the 2019 movie, Tanya is transferred away from the front line to conduct research on combined arms tactics. Unexpectedly, Hans von Zettour informs her she will be given control of the 8th Kampfgruppe, a unit that combines tanks, artillery, and infantry. This move is orchestrated by Being X, who is determined to make Tanya a true believer, ties in to the mounting conflict in the Season 2 trailer.
As the trailer's voiceover explains, the Empire's warlike ways have earned them enemies on all sides. The world fears them, and so conflict is brewing once more. However, according to Zettour, there's a plan to "rectify the mistake," and that is to dispose of a single officer. This officer, we can assume, is none other than Tanya, but it's impossible to know that for sure until we learn more about Season 2.
The anime's first season is based on the first three volumes of the light novel, with the 2019 movie taking inspiration from Volume 4. Season 2 will follow the story from Volume 5, as winter approaches and the Empire's higher-ups must decide whether to attack or wait until the weather passes. Tanya's Salamander unit faces a mission that could determine the Empire's path and the war's fate.
