The second season of Banished from the Hero’s Party is set to premiere in January 2024, coinciding with the Winter 2024 anime season, it has been confirmed. Despite the threat of war from the outside world, Gideon “Red” Ragnason and Wolf Girl Rit have made the decision to live a quiet life in the countryside after being expelled from the hero’s party.
On September 24, 2023, the anime production committee revealed the release window and PV trailer for Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita Season 2.
Shin no Nakama Season 2 was first revealed on October 31, 2022. The next day brought the release of Volume 11, a light novel with a wraparound jacket called Banished from the Hero’s Party.
“There are two seasons! I’m ecstatic!”. After watching the final episode of the first season, I was eager to see the continuation in the second season,” wrote Zappon, the original author. Of course, this cannot be done just because the original author wants it to.
Yukari Hashimoto, the composer, expressed her excitement for the upcoming second season. Yui Nishio, an OP musician, was likewise thrilled. The voices of Tanta (Yuu Serizawa), Red (Ryouta Suzuki), and Rit (Kanon Takao) have all confirmed their comeback.
Japanese animation companies Wolfsbane and Studio Flad produced the anime TV show’s first season. Wolfsbane is a relatively young company best known for its work on the anime series Peter Grill and Philosopher’s Time. In a similar vein, Studio Flad has only produced one other anime, Damepri Anime Caravan (2018).
Makoto Hoshino (Damepri Anime Caravan, King’s Raid) will return as director of Banished from the Hero’s Party Season 2. Megumi Shimizu, the writer behind “My Next Life as a Villainess,” is back to oversee the scripts for the series.
Character designer Ruriko Watanabe (Damepri Anime Caravan) is back. The music will be composed once more by Yukari Hashimoto (March Comes in Like a Lion). The music for the opening and closing themes of Banished from the Hero’s Party Season 2 has not yet been revealed.
In the first season, Yui Nishio performed the Banished from the Hero’s Party OP “Take a Breathe In, Take a Breathe Here, Live (Iki wo Suu Koko de Suu Ikite)” and JYOCHO performed the ED “All The Same (Minna Onaji).”
As of the most recent update, neither the year nor the exact release date for Banished from the Hero’s Party Season 2 had been formally confirmed by Kadokawa, Studio Children’s Playground Entertainment, or any other company involved in the anime’s production.
On October 31, 2022, however, the sequel to Banished from the Hero’s Party was officially announced as being in production. While waiting for the Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2 release date, one can conjecture about it.
When the first season debuted in the autumn of 2021, it was unclear if Banished from the Hero’s Party Season 2 would be renewed by the anime production committee.
Kadokawa has been releasing anime adaptations much faster than by previous standards, and the anime industry is only getting busier. Beginning in May 2021, Kadokawa announced their intention to produce 20 percent more anime projects (from 33 to 40) annually by 2023.
Unfortunately, Banished from the Hero’s Party Season 1’s October 2021 release did not considerably boost manga and light novel sales in Japan because the volumes did not match Oricon’s top 30 manga.
