At long last, the eagerly awaited comeback date for a standout continuous anime series has been set, more than a year since the announcement of its second season. The football narrative, Blue Lock, which captured the hearts of a new wave of sports anime enthusiasts, is slated for its sophomore season debut later this year. According to the series' official Twitter page, Blue Lock's second season is scheduled to premiere in October 2024, accompanied by a fresh illustration of the main character Isagi, crafted by manga artist Yusuke Nomura.

Launched in 2022, the anime adaptation of Blue Lock introduced viewers to an outlandish concept where Japan, following a disappointing World Cup exit, embarks on a quest to develop the ultimate world-class striker. Their unconventional method? Compete several top young football talents within a correctional-like facility with the goal of molding one into the nation's premier attacker. Quite expectedly.

The renewal for a second season was disclosed in March 2023 following the wrap-up of the first 24 episodes. However, updates on the television continuation have been sparse since.

Meanwhile, fans can anticipate the Blue Lock movie (entitled Episode Nagi) set to premiere on June 28 in Western territories. This spin-off centers on the incredibly skilled yet frequently lackadaisical Seishiro Nagi. The unveiling of Blue Lock season 2 stands as the most recent thrilling development for aficionados of sports anime. Additionally, the Haikyu movie The Dumpster Battle is hitting theaters on May 31, marking the commencement of a two-part send-off for the Karasuno volleyball squad.
