Blue Box Season 2 (Ao no Hako) premieres on October 4, 2026. Netflix lists the season for that date, with new episodes weekly, and the official trailer on the Netflix Anime channel already pointed to an October 4 premiere on the service.
Where and when it airs
In Japan, the season joins the TBS schedule the same Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Japan time, across affiliated stations. The adaptation is based on Kouji Miura's manga, a sports romance between badminton player Taiki Inomata and basketball player Chinatsu Kano. The Season 2 trailer frames the arc as the continuation of their feelings, with a fractured old friendship and the road to nationals in the way.
What changes now
The series page on Netflix is title 82715728. This is not a new production announcement: an October date was already circulating. What changes now is the actual start of the broadcast, both on Japanese television and on Netflix's weekly stream in multiple countries.
Voice cast, studio, and the total episode count for this season are not restated in the premiere materials used here. The promotional cut is on the Netflix Anime channel.
