October 2026 is the lock — the salaryman and the psychic bird return
Sasaki and Peeps (Sasaki to Pii-chan) Season 2 starts in October 2026. Kadokawa’s June 15 teaser moved it from a vague sequel rumor to a hard Fall month. Until a premiere Tuesday prints, keep the countdown on October.
Ibe promoting from assistant director is the real staff story
Season 1’s look came under Mirai Minato. Season 2 puts Yūshi Ibe in the director seat with Yamato Ouchi as AD — continuity from inside the SILVER LINK. pipeline, not a random studio hop. Akao’s scripts and Nakashiki’s designs stay; action and camera roles reshuffle around them.
How long the Peeps gap actually was
- Season 1 — Winter 2024 (12 eps; one-hour AT-X special open).
- Crunchyroll simulcast + later English dub for S1.
- Sequel greenlit earlier; October 2026 window stamped Jun 15, 2026.
- October 2026 — Season 2 premiere (day TBA on this page).
Modern Japan plus isekai side-hustles is still the pitch — not a soft reboot
Sasaki’s office life, Peeps’ psychic bird brain, and cross-world money schemes are what Season 2 inherits. October is when that Buncololi / Kantoku loop continues under Ibe — mark the month, and do not confuse “Pii-chan” search hits with unrelated bird mascots on the Fall slate.
