On June 20, 2026, the official Rilakkuma anime site published two fresh news items: a second promotional video and a second key visual. The same day, a PR TIMES release confirmed the update and framed the new material around the season title Tekuteku Sekai Ryoko , while the broadcast schedule in Japan remained centered on the Saturday morning TBS slot. What Was Announced The headline change is not a restart or a reboot. It is a clearer presentation of the next phase of the anime. The new PV and the key visual give the project a more defined identity, and they do it in a way that fits Rilakkuma's usual calm pacing: soft colors, familiar characters, and a travel motif that makes the season feel like a gentle journey rather than a hard reset. The official news page on the anime site marks the second PV and the second key visual as separate announcements, which is useful for fans trying to track what changed on June 20. The PR TIMES release adds the practical information that ma...

The Japanese post was published at 9:35 a.m. JST, and the company also mirrored the news in English on the same day. The new material does not simply repeat the earlier teaser cycle.
