Sk8 the Infinity Update: New Content Arrives Sooner Than Anticipated, but No Season 2 Yet

As we eagerly await the release of Sk8 the Infinity Season 2, it’s exciting to note that an OVA has been slated for 2025, giving some fans the opportunity for an early viewing experience.

When it comes to sports anime, few can match the exhilarating vibe of Sk8 the Infinity. The story revolves around skateboard-loving teens participating in what can be considered unauthorized drag racing under the cover of night.

This entertaining and lighthearted series embodies the spirit of youth, adventure, and skating culture. The first season debuted in 2022, and leading up to the next installment, viewers can look forward to four episodes of the OVA, with the premiere set for March 19, 2025.

OVA「SK∞ エスケーエイト EXTRA PART」発売告知CM｜2025年3月19日(水)発売決定！ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR69Mz8FhEA)

The forthcoming mini-series, titled Sk8 the Infinity Extra Part, is comprised of four episodes. A brief teaser has hinted that many beloved characters will be present, though specific plot details remain sparse.

In addition to the mini-series, fans in Japan will be able to catch the action on the big screen, as Extra Part is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on January 24, 2025. However, this opportunity is restricted to just ten cinemas across the country.

While there’s a possibility for a broader release, it’s important to note that this OVA is a spin-off rather than a full-fledged movie or a compilation feature, which diminishes the likelihood of wider screenings. Should theaters in the UK or the US showcase it, the run will likely be brief since OVAs typically don’t enjoy the same prominence as feature-length films or compilation releases.

Nevertheless, the arrival of more Sk8 the Infinity content is certainly a treat as we await Season 2. The production team at Bones has been diligently working since 2022, though the exact timing of the new season remains uncertain amidst their commitments to projects like My Hero Academia, including the anime film You’re Next, released in conjunction with Season 7 this year.

No matter when it arrives, the next chapter of Sk8 promises to deliver a storyline as captivating as its predecessor, and we can look forward to this exciting detour in the meantime.
