The Witch Watch anime will receive a second season scheduled for 2027. The announcement came with a teaser visual and happened on the same day the original manga by Kenta Shinohara concluded in Weekly Shonen Jump.
Most of the first season's team is returning. Director Hiroshi Ikehata is back at the helm, with series composition by Deko Akao, character design shared by Haruko Iizuka, Kaishu Sugimura and Yuki Sawa, and music by Yukari Hashimoto. Production is now co-handled by Bibury Animation Studios and STUDIO MASSKET.
The first season premiered in April 2025 as a two-cour series, airing in Japan on MBS, TBS and affiliates. It adapted the story of ogre familiar Morihito Otogi, who moves in with teenage witch Nico Wakatsuki to protect her from a prophecy of disaster, while she tries to win his heart. The manga, running since 2021, ended with around 270 chapters and 28 volumes as of October 2026.
The teaser visual shows Nico forming a heart with her hands and winking. The series is available on platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix in multiple countries, with dubs including Brazilian Portuguese. The final manga volumes are expected in 2027.
