Two years have passed since the last release from the makers of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Thus, a second season of the anime is highly anticipating, and speculations are growing among fans. However, there is no official declaration regarding making a season 2 of the original anime series from Wit Studio.
The anime is independent of any source material like manga or light novel. Therefore it is difficult to predict the possibility of its second season. Moreover, we have no relevant clue or updates from the show’s creators mentioning the second season. Hence, we can’t rely on any other factors determining a second season debut.
Although, the acclaimed worldwide streaming network Netflix had earlier released the movie in three separate segments. Thus, Netflix might have indicated a whole season of content that might stream in the future. Instead of just three episodes, perhaps if the prior engages enough viewers.
The movie Battle of Unato, premiered on Netflix on September 19, 2019. Thereafter, no subsequent hints of new releases came from the show makers of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Also, there is no official announcement so far regarding the featuring of its further sequel.
