Fran and her talking sword are heading skyward — and Singapore isekai fans had better clear their HIDIVE watchlists. NBCUniversal Anime/Music dropped the second promotional video (PV第2弾) for Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 today, giving the sharpest look yet at the Floating Island arc that will power the upcoming October 2026 run.
Floating Island, Undead Labyrinths and a Necromancer Rival
The new PV picks up right where Season 1’s credits left off: Fran and Teacher discover a mysterious floating island high above the port town of Dars and decide — naturally — they are going to conquer it. According to the official story overview, the island hides “a vicious labyrinth where undead magical beasts lurk,” setting the stage for the undead-army showdowns glimpsed in the trailer.
The key trigger for Season 2’s central adventure is Jean Douvey (ジャン・ドゥービー), a necromancer researcher voiced by Yuma Uchida (内田雄馬, known for his roles in My Hero Academia and Vinland Saga). His encounter with Fran and Teacher sends the pair on the floating island quest — and judging from the PV, the undead hordes waiting inside that labyrinth are not exactly welcoming.
Watch the New Second PV
The PV second edition was uploaded to the NBCUniversal Anime/Music official YouTube channel today, the same day as a special premiere screening with stage greetings at Tachikawa Cinema City in Japan — so lucky audiences in Japan are getting their first extended look at the season right now, while the rest of us make do with this excellent trailer.
Cast and Crew — Studio C2C Brings Everyone Back
Studio C2C returns to handle animation, with the core Season 1 creative team intact:
- Director: Shinji Ishihira
- Series Composition: Takahiro Nagano
- Character Design: Atsuko Saito
- Original Work: Yuu Tanaka (light novel & manga)
The returning voice cast has Ai Kakuma (加隈亜衣) as Fran and Shinichiro Miki (三木眞一郎) as the Teacher/Master sword, joined by Yuma Uchida’s Jean Douvey as the season’s key new face.
The light novel series is published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment, so readers who want to race ahead of the anime have a fully localised edition to binge before October.
How to Watch in Singapore — HIDIVE Has the Exclusive
HIDIVE holds the worldwide simulcast rights, and the platform is available in Singapore. Season 2 will simulcast exclusively on HIDIVE from October 2026 — meaning Crunchyroll is not an option this time around.
If you haven’t seen Season 1, it’s a worthwhile catch-up: 12 episodes of a catgirl and her sentient sword murdering monsters across a fantasy world, with a lot more heart than that synopsis suggests. Check the Manga Anime section for more on the fall 2026 lineup coming our way.
