Fans of the series, Reign of the Seven Spellblades, are eagerly awaiting the release of season 2 following the conclusion of the first season. Despite their hopes for an announcement from the anime studio, both the staff and website have remained silent on the matter. Therefore, fans are left wondering if a sequel season is in the works. Reign of the Seven Spellblades is a popular Japanese light novel series written by Bokuto Uno and illustrated by Ruria Miyuki, which was later adapted into a manga by Sakae Esuno. J.C. Staff then brought the series to life with an anime adaptation.

Reign of the Seven Spellblades is highly likely to have a second season due to the unresolved plotlines at the end of the first season. Although the staff has not explicitly hinted at a continuation, there is a good chance that the anime studio, J.C. Staff, will animate the second season.
With the light novel series comprising 12 volumes, the first three volumes have been covered in the anime series. This leaves J.C. Staff with a substantial amount of source material, equivalent to around three more seasons, ready for adaptation.

That being said, there has been no official announcement regarding a sequel season for the anime. As a result, it may take some time before a decision is made in this regard. Alternatively, there is a slight chance that the animation studio responsible for the series might be changed. However, the worst-case scenario for fans would be if the show were to be canceled. Although the chances of this happening appear to be slim, it ultimately relies on the global performance and ratings of the anime.
When can fans expect Reign of the Seven Spellblades season 2 to be released?
The production timeline for a 12-episode anime usually spans around one year. If the announcement for Reign of the Seven Spellblades season 2 had come immediately after the conclusion of season 1, there would have been a strong possibility for fans to enjoy the second season as early as the Fall 2024 anime season.

With no official announcement from the anime studio yet, it is highly probable that the release of the anime will take place in 2025 or beyond.

Alternatively, the focus of the second season could also shift towards the spellblades. Upon discovering that Nanao Hibiya possessed a spellblade unknown to others, Oliver grew suspicious of her. However, amidst the chaos of various events, he has seemingly allowed the matter to slip from his mind. Consequently, the upcoming season may witness Oliver delving into the investigation of the seventh spellblade.
