The Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation anime’s Twitter account has announced that the second season will run for 25 episodes with two split cours. Additionally, it was revealed that the second cour will begin airing in April 2024, six months after the first cour’s end in September 2023.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation‘s first season had a similar gap for its cours, with the first cour running from January to March 2021 and the second cour running from October to December 2021.
The first cour of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 began airing on July 2 (effectively July 3 at 12 AM JST) in Japan with an “Episode 0” that centered on Sylphiette/Fitz. Crunchyroll, Muse Asia, and Bilibili are streaming the show outside of Japan.
The anime is based on the KADOKAWA-published isekai light novel series written by Rifujin na Magonote with illustrations from Shirotaka, which began in 2014 and ended in November 2022 with 26 volumes. The books are published under the MF Books label.
Seven Seas describes the series as:
Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he’s hit rock-bottom—just as he’s hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He’s going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!
Mushoku Tensei Season 2 is directed by Hiroki Hirano (Season 1 assistant director) with Toshiya Oono (Shadows House) as series composer and Sanae Shimada (Photokano) as character designer. Returning staff from the first season include Masakazu Miyake as art director and Yoshiaki Fujisawa as music composer. Studio Bind is again the production company.
Meanwhile, the cast includes:
• Yumi Uchiyama as Rudeus
• Haruka Shiraishi as Sara
• Yuu Kobayashi as Suzanne
• Wataru Hatano as Timothy
• Chiharu Sawashiro as Mimir
• Itaru Yamamoto as Patris
• Kousuke Toriumi as Soldat Heckler
• Ai Kayano as Fitz
Mushoku Tensei first began in 2012 as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel. The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation and multiple spin-offs.
