Ever since Prison School season 1 wrapped up in 2015 everyone's been wondering whether we will be getting a second season. Let's explore.
The hit Anime Prison School was able to garner quite a lot of positive reviews after its first season with a 7.62/10 based on over 542,525 votes. That's some really good news for fans because it means that the possibility of a second season is even higher. But are we getting a second season?
Prison School Season 2 Renewal Status
First things, first, the J.C.Staff studio has yet to announce any news regarding renewal or cancellation. The status as of now is pending. But the likelihood of a second season is very high given the show's overall popularity and the fact that there is still a lot of story to tell. The first season wrapped up in September of 2015 but didn't cover all the material in the manga. And on April 6, 2018, the 28th chapter was released. So, there is a story to tell but after 7 years one has to wonder if J.C.Staff gave up on the project.
When Tsutomu Mizushima, the director of Prison School and SHIROBAKO was contacted by Naoyuki Uchida, an author of mystery and horror novels, about a second season on Twitter he responded with:
“Thanks for watching continuously since SHIROBAKO! I don’t know about the 2nd season. I want to do it, but … (embarrassed face emoji)”
This conversation occurred in 2015 so a lot can change since then.
Prison School Season 2 Release Date
Since the show has yet to be renewed there is no release date yet. However, if the show is renewed we can expect a Fall 2022 release. We will keep you informed on any new information about season 2 that comes our way.
