The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2 Release Date

The Detective is already dead season 2 is expected to be released in early 2024. There has been no official confirmation on the release date yet, but as mentioned by the official website, more details are coming soon.

In the meantime, let us speculate about when we can expect season 2 to come out on TV.

The first season of The Detective Is Already Dead was announced in Jan 2021, and the series aired in July 2021, almost six months later. This is surprising considering that the light novel only began serialization in November 2019.

Usually, a 12-episode anime series takes around one and a half years to 2 years, depending on the type of genre. If the anime belongs to an action genre with lots of fights, it will take longer to animate.

Luckily, “The Detective is already dead” doesn’t have crazy battle scenes. As the anime production has started in July 2022, fans can expect season 2 to release sometime in 2024. For more updates, you can follow the official website of the anime series.
