It’s official — Black Clover is coming back! During Anime Expo 2025, fans were treated to a huge announcement: a sequel TV anime (Season 2) is in the works, complete with a brand-new visual and trailer. Studio Pierrot is returning to handle the animation once again.
For international viewers, the season numbering might be a bit confusing. While overseas platforms break the original run into four seasons, in Japan, all 170 episodes were aired as a single continuous season from 2017 to 2021.
The announcement was made during Crunchyroll’s industry panel at the event, where a new key visual featuring Asta on a red background and the teaser trailer were revealed. A Japanese version of the visual dropped shortly after the panel.
Message from the Creator
Manga creator Yūki Tabata shared his excitement:
“The production of the long-awaited new anime season of Black Clover has been confirmed! I’m beyond ecstatic going into the new anime season after the super-passionate movie that came out! Thanks to all of you, Black Clover is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! I definitely plan to keep this hype going! I want fans from Japan and all around the world to enjoy the powered-up anime that’s going to be brought to you by the most awesome anime production staff! Thank you so much for supporting Black Clover!”

As rivals and friends, they both aim to become the Wizard King, facing impossible odds together. Giving up is never an option!”
