After five years, one movie, and the conclusion of Yuki Tabata’s manga, Black Clover Season 2 is officially happening — and it’s coming sooner than many fans expected. The new season is confirmed for an October 2026 broadcast start, with Studio Pierrot returning to handle animation and the full original voice cast reprising their roles.
Episode 1 Premieres at Anime Expo This Saturday
Before the October broadcast begins, the first episode gets its world premiere at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles this Saturday, 4 July, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM Pacific time. Director Ayataka Tanemura and Asta’s voice actor Gakuto Kajiwara will be at the panel in person. Singapore fans watching the AX news feed live: that session runs Sunday 5 July at 4:30 AM SGT — probably one for the truly dedicated.
The panel will include the episode 1 screening and additional announcements, so expect new details about the season — episode count, OP/ED themes, and possibly a premiere date — to surface over the weekend.
The Spade Kingdom Raid Arc — Where the Story Goes
Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off in 2021: the Clover Kingdom’s Magic Knights launching their all-out assault on the Spade Kingdom to rescue Captain Yami and William Vangeance. Asta’s Devil Union with Liebe — teased extensively in the trailers — is the centrepiece of the new season’s power scaling, alongside Yuno’s Spirit Dive and Nacht’s Devil Unite techniques.
Unlike the original run, there’s no concern about the anime outpacing the source material. Tabata’s manga wrapped up after over 11 years of serialisation, which means the production team has the full story to work with — a significant advantage that should translate into a tighter, more purposeful adaptation.
The production team for Season 2: director Ayataka Tanemura (who also directed Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King), series scripts by Keiichiro Ochi, character design by Itsuko Takeda and Kumiko Tokunaga, and music by Minako Seki.
Where Singapore Fans Can Watch
Crunchyroll has announced streaming rights for the US and other international regions, but explicitly excludes Asia from its distribution deal. That means Singapore fans will need to look elsewhere for a legal stream — the platform for Asia has not been officially confirmed at the time of writing. The original series was available in Singapore via both Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video, so Prime Video or another regional service is the most likely home for Season 2 in our market. Watch the official Black Clover social channels for a regional streaming announcement closer to October.
We’ll be following this one closely as Anime Expo announcements roll in over the weekend. In the meantime, catch up on the other anime arriving this season — the summer 2026 slate is stacked.
