Over the past months, the Classroom of the Elite Twitter account shared minuscule details on the prospective release date of the second season of Classroom of the Elite anime; however, no confirmed date was announced. Interestingly enough, after the long wait, the confirmed premiere date of the hit psychological series was finally announced via Crunchyroll.
The exciting news bearing the release date of the second season of Classroom of the Elite also depicted another primary cast member that will feature in the incoming season. The release date, coupled with a new visual, teases fans of the possible happenings the season will bring when it arrives.
Classroom of the Elite's first season premiered in 2017 with a striking story and fun characters. However, the franchise remained silent regarding a second season until February 2022, when a one-minute trailer was released, raising everyone's expectations of what is to come. A few months later, on May 2nd, new visuals and characters were publicized on Twitter as a teaser for possible occurrences in Classroom of the Elite II. Finally, Classroom of The Elite has dropped the most exciting information sought out by expectant fans for months; a confirmed release date.
On May 30, Crunchyroll revealed the premiere date of Classroom of the Elite’s sequel. The anime is set to air in Japan on July 4 at 9pm. Studio Lerche will be handling the production of Classroom of the Elite's second season alongside the chief directors: Hiroyuki Hashimoto, Yoshihito Nishoji & Seiji Keishi. On the other hand, Hayato Kazono will handle the series composition, and Kazuaki Morita, the character designs.
In the second season’s new visual, Kei Karuizawa was included, piquing the curiosity of Classroom of the Elite fans. In season one of the series, Kei Karuizawa was introduced as a background character – as the girlfriend of Yosuke Hirata, the Class Representative of Class 1-D. So, the idea that more details about this character will be revealed is an exciting one. Furthermore, the visual also displayed Kiyotaka Ayankoji, Suzune Horikita, Kikyo Kushida, Hanami Ichinose, Arisu Kasanayagi, and Kakeru Ryuen. Apart from this exciting announcement, Crunchyroll confirmed the production of Classroom of the Elite's third season. The sequel will be released in 2023; however, information relating to the third season's exact release date is yet to be confirmed.
Classroom of the Elite is based on the light novels written by Shogo Kinugasa and Sunsaku Tomose, so the incoming season will probably follow the accounts outlined in the novel series. Regardless, that doesn't reduce the excitement for the show since fan readers will finally get the chance to see the animated versions of their favorite arcs.
