The Eminence in Shadow season 2: Everything to know about the sequel

The release date for season 2 of The Eminence in Shadow has been officially announced during the Kage-Jitsu Fes on May 28, 2023. Accompanied by an exciting trailer and a captivating key visual, the highly anticipated second season is set to premiere on October 4, 2023, at 10:30 pm JST in Japan. Fans can catch the episode on various local syndications such as AT-X, TOKYO MX, TV Aichi, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, and BS Nippon TV.

The sequel will be available for streaming on HIDIVE, the exclusive platform with the license to feature the anime. During the livestream event, it was announced that the sequel will be released in both English subbed and dub versions.

Unlike the first season, which had 24 episodes spread over multiple cours, the second season will have 12 episodes. However, since the first season covered the first two volumes of Daisuke Aizawa's light novel series, it is expected that the second season will focus primarily on the third volume. This installment will delve into the Red Moon incident and the conflict within the Major Corporate Alliance.

Release date and time, streaming platforms

HIDIVE, the leading streaming platform that offers global access to The Eminence in Shadow, describes the anime in the following way:

Rather than embodying the flamboyant, bold hero or the overtly sinister, clichéd villain, certain individuals prefer to operate discreetly in the shadows, manipulating society through their intellect and cunning. This is precisely the role that Cid aspires to assume when he finds himself transported to a different world.

Continuation:

Cid weaves several tales, eventually assuming an unexpected role as the leader of the subterranean group known as the Shadow Garden. This organization embarks on a valiant battle against a malevolent cult, which Cid merely fabricated out of thin air. Nevertheless, there is an unforeseen twist that even his vivid imagination failed to anticipate: the cult he conjured is real, and they are greatly angered by the intrusion of his power fantasy into their wicked schemes!

Oxt will be providing the opening theme song, Greyscale Dominator, while the ending theme song is yet to be revealed.
