Season 2 Teaser Visual

Season 2 Is Now Set for 2027

Season 2 was originally announced on September 23, 2024, immediately following the first season of the new anime adaptation. For nearly two years afterward, the sequel remained confirmed as being in production without a specific broadcast year.

The August 31 announcement finally narrows that window to 2027. A month, exact date, broadcast time and television network have not yet been revealed.

Eve Bolan Joins the Second Teaser Visual

The new artwork places Lawrence and Holo together inside a room around a dining table. Holo smiles beside Lawrence, while a third figure stands behind the pair.

That character is Eve Bolan, officially described as a mysterious merchant and a new presence in Season 2. The accompanying tagline, “行商人と狼に忍び寄る、新たな野心――,” further frames a new ambition as an important element of the coming story.

The Journey Moves Toward a Port Town

The official Season 2 premise takes Lawrence and Holo to a port town as their journey north continues. Lawrence once again sees a new opportunity for commerce, while the pair's travels remain connected to Holo's search for her homeland.

This chapter also changes how they travel. Lawrence and Holo leave their wagon behind and board a ship, opening the story to an unfamiliar trading city and a new group of people.

Trade and Trust Remain at the Heart of the Story

Spice and Wolf continues to distinguish itself through deals, risk, information, negotiation and relationships between merchants rather than relying solely on conventional fantasy adventure.

The official description again emphasizes bargaining and situations that test trust. At the same time, Lawrence and Holo's partnership continues to develop as both a commercial relationship and a personal journey.

Passione Returns for Animation Production

Passione remains responsible for animation production. The published Season 2 staff lists Takeo Takahashi and Hijiri Sanpei as chief directors, with Nobuyoshi Nagayama and Takahiro Majima serving as directors.

Rina Sugimoto and Koji Haneda handle character design, while Kevin Penkin remains attached to the music. Jun Fukuyama is confirmed as Kraft Lawrence and Ami Koshimizu as Holo.

The First Teaser Visual Already Pointed Toward the Ship Journey

Season 2 received its first teaser visual on November 8, 2025, before the 2027 broadcast window was announced. That artwork highlighted Lawrence and Holo moving beyond their wagon and toward a journey by ship.

The second teaser now advances the promotion by bringing Eve directly into the main artwork. The production team has still not formally specified exactly how many light novel volumes Season 2 will cover.
