When is Death Note Season 2 coming out? No sequel season is planned — the 2006 Madhouse adaptation covered the manga, and nothing official has been dated since.
Death Note Season 2 isn't on any studio slate. The original Madhouse run wrapped Light and Near's game; later live-action and one-shots never restarted the TV anime. No premiere window exists because no Season 2 has been announced.
When Is Death Note Season 2?
No official premiere day is confirmed. Bookmark this page — we add a countdown as soon as a date is announced.
Death Note Season 2 has no premiere — the notebook game already ended on TV
Madhouse closed Light Yagami’s arc in 2007. The manga’s main path was on screen; there is no unread final volume waiting for a numbered Season 2. This page stays on “Not announced” because inventing a 2026–2027 window would contradict every official slate.
One-shots and short stories are not a silent Season 2 order
Post-ending manga extras (including a-Kira material) give fans “what if more Death Note” fuel. Adaptation would need a new committee title — film, ONA, or special — not a retroactive “Season 2” label on the 2006 show. Until Madhouse prints that title, leave the calendar blank.
What the franchise actually shipped after the manga
- 2006–07 — Madhouse TV anime adapts the main manga through the ending.
- Later — OVAs, live-action films/series, and games expand the brand.
- One-shots / short stories — optional post-Light material, not a dated S2.
- Anime Season 2 — not announced.
Light’s story had a last page — Season 2 would need a new Kira, not a longer first war
Unlike ongoing Jump titles that drip “next cour TBA,” Death Note’s anime caught its source ending. Sequel talk usually means a different protagonist era or a remake. Neither is on Madhouse’s public board as Death Note Season 2 — so the honest countdown stays empty.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1Is Death Note Season 2 announced?
No. Madhouse’s 2006–2007 TV anime (37 episodes) adapted Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s manga through Light’s endgame. Neither Madhouse nor Shueisha has dated a sequel TV season.
2What about the a-Kira one-shot — isn't that Season 2 material?
Death Note short stories / a-Kira one-shots exist after the main ending and could theoretically feed an OVA or special. They are not the same as an announced Season 2 cour with staff and a broadcast window.
3Do Netflix or other live-action projects count?
No. Live-action films, series, and remakes are separate productions. A Western live-action pitch does not restart Madhouse’s anime episode count as Season 2.
4Why do Season 2 rumors never die?
The franchise stays culturally loud — anniversary art, shopping events, and new media keep the brand visible. Visibility without a studio line still equals zero days until Season 2.
