While Wise Man’s Grandchild hasn’t been officially renewed for a second season, fans are eagerly waiting for an announcement. If a Season 2 does happen, it would likely continue the story arc from the light novel series. Speculation suggests the release could be as early as Winter 2026, with potential changes in production staff.
Below is a detailed look at what we know so far about the possibility of a second season of Wise Man’s Grandchild and when it could arrive.
Wise Man’s Grandchild: Background and Popularity
Starting in 2015, Wise Man’s Grandchild (light novel) by Tsuyoshi Yoshioka has gained a solid fan base, with over 6.7 million copies in circulation. The series has captivated fans of isekai anime and novels alike, landing in the top 50 best-selling light novels of all time.
The anime version, loved for its blend of action and magic, follows Shin Wolford, a man reincarnated into a fantasy world. With immense magical abilities, Shin becomes virtually unbeatable, yet he strives for real challenges to test his power. This journey keeps fans coming back for more.
Will There Be a Second Season?
Right now, Wise Man’s Grandchild has only one season, which aired in April 2019. Directed by Masafumi Tamura and animated by Studio Silver Link, the anime impressed viewers, even though quality between seasons can fluctuate at the studio.
If Season 2 happens, it’s highly likely that Studio Silver Link and Masafumi Tamura would return for production.
Release Date for Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2
As of now, no official word has come from Silver Link regarding a second season, meaning there’s no countdown to its release yet. However, fans are on the lookout for any updates. If a second season is green-lit, late 2025 or early 2026 seems a realistic target.
Many fans speculate that an early 2026 release is likely, giving Silver Link enough time to wrap up other projects like Princession Orchestra.
Though excitement continues to build for a sequel, for now, we must remain patient and wait for further announcements.
What Will Season 2 Be About?
The first season of Wise Man’s Grandchild covered volumes 1 through 3 of the light novel. Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 would likely pick up where the anime left off, starting with Volume 4.
If you’re eager to continue the story now, you can dive into Wise Man’s Grandchild Volume 4 in English.
The light novel series concluded in November 2022 with 17 volumes. Should Season 2 be produced, it is expected to cover volumes 4 to 6, likely spanning another 12 episodes. To adapt the entire Wise Man’s Grandchild series, it could take the studio several more seasons, meaning we might be waiting five or more years for a complete adaptation.
