A second season of the TV anime There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, So I Tried Confessing to Her is in production, the staff announced on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The main cast will reprise their roles, but no release date has been given.
The series adapts Suisei's light novel series and the manga by Kairi, published by Futabasha. Its hero is Yōki, a mid-tier demon who falls for Cecilia, the priestess of the hero's party, and vows to confess his feelings to her. The studio Gekkō produced the first season.
Cast and staff
Four returning cast members were confirmed: Kōhei Amasaki as Yōki, Kana Hanazawa as Cecilia, Ryōhei Kimura as Yūga and Yūko Natsuyoshi as Mikana.
The first season's staff list included Yasutaka Yamamoto as chief director and Tomonori Mine as director at Gekkō. Yukie Sugawara handled series composition and scripts, Mina Osawa designed the characters, and Satoru Kosaki and MONACA composed the music. Ryo Aizawa of Starry Cube served as producer. The announcement did not spell out which of these staff members will return for the new season.
First season and streaming
The first season premiered on January 6 at 11:00 p.m. as part of the Winter 2026 anime season. Crunchyroll streamed it worldwide excluding Asia, though India and the Indian Subcontinent were included in that territory. That makes the show part of the platform's simulcast catalog, and the same service is the likeliest place for viewers outside Asia to catch up before the sequel.
Yoshino performed the opening theme "Lavish!!" and Hiyori Omiya performed the ending theme "Kimi Kōryaku Game" in the first season. The official anime account made the second-season announcement on November 7.
The sequel's release date has yet to be revealed.
