Sakamoto Days Season 2: What's Actually Confirmed So Far

Sakamoto Days Season 2 was revealed at Jump Festa 2026 with a teaser visual featuring protagonist Taro Sakamoto and an announcement trailer — confirming the show is continuing, full stop. That's the entirety of what's locked in so far.

What wasn't confirmed in that reveal: which studio is animating it (TMS Entertainment handled Season 1), whether Season 1's staff — director Masaki Watanabe, character designer Yo Moriyama, screenwriter Yuto Suzuki, series composer Taku Kishimoto — is returning, and who's voicing the cast. A premiere date wasn't given either; some outlets have floated a January 2027 window, but that's circulating from secondary reporting, not an official confirmation in the Jump Festa reveal itself.

A quick reminder of why this one's worth tracking regardless of the vague timeline: Sakamoto Days' hook — the world's deadliest assassin retires, gains weight, and runs a small-town convenience store with his family while trying to stay combat-ready without ever letting his heart rate spike — is a genuinely rare tonal combination. Pulling off legitimately strong action choreography inside a sitcom-paced family comedy is harder to sustain than either half alone, and Season 1 mostly managed it.

For now, this is a 'circle back once more lands' situation rather than a 'mark the calendar' one — the confirmation that matters (yes, it's happening) is in; the details that would let anyone actually plan around it aren't yet.
