Skeleton Knight Season 2 Starts on ABEMA First on July 4

Skeleton Knight season 2 announcement visual

What Was Announced

On June 26, 2026, AbemaTV announced that the second season of Skeleton Knight would begin on ABEMA on July 4, 2026. The release frames the rollout as terrestrial-first and web-fastest, which means ABEMA will get the title before standard over-the-air broadcast and online competitors.

The announcement is short and direct: the long-awaited second season is back on the calendar, and ABEMA is the first confirmed platform in this rollout. The official season page for Skeleton Knight remains the anime's hub, while the PR TIMES release carries the fresh timing detail.

Why It Matters

For viewers in Japan, this is the most concrete sign that season 2 is moving from promotion into release. A terrestrial-first stream gives the show a clear launch point and makes ABEMA the easiest place to start following the new episodes immediately.

For anyone tracking the franchise from abroad, the useful part is the scheduling signal. It tells you that the next chapter is about to begin, even if the sources used here do not promise a separate overseas rollout.

Context for International Fans

Skeleton Knight is positioned here as a popular isekai fantasy that has earned enough momentum to return for a second season. This post is based on the press release and the official season page; neither source adds a new global distribution plan, so the only confirmed detail is the Japanese launch timing.

What Happens Next

The key date is July 4, 2026. That is when ABEMA is scheduled to begin carrying the second season. The press release does not add a specific start hour in the material reviewed for this post, so the safe takeaway is the date itself rather than a guessed time.

Notes

All dates in this post are written in absolute form, and the schedule references Japan Standard Time where a time is given. If you are outside Japan, convert the launch date and watch for later local announcements if you need a region-specific release window.

Image
On June 21, 2026, the official site for Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily confirmed that the anime’s second cour will begin in October 2026. The same day, the site also introduced a new character, Asahi, voiced by Kyori Nemoto.

On June 19, 2026, Bandai Namco Experience announced that the Blue Lock chibigurumi tied to the Namjatown collaboration will return as a limited prize line on June 26, 2026.

What Was Announced The lineup is straightforward: five characters, each in the special collaboration outfit. The announced set includes Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Yo Hiori. According to the press release, the figures are about 11 cm tall.
