On Sunday, May 26, Oshi no Ko Anime Expo 2024 revealed exciting updates for fans of the series. Among the announcements were the release date for Oshi no Ko season 2, accompanied by a stunning key visual and trailer. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, July 3, 2024, as that is when Oshi no Ko season 2 will officially premiere.

The previous season of the anime featured Aqua and Akane starting a romantic relationship. As a result, they, along with Kana and other characters, were chosen to be a part of a 2.5D drama adaptation of the popular manga series Tokyo Blade. This laid the foundation for the 2.5D Stage Play Arc in the anime’s upcoming second season.
