A Returner's Magic Should Be Special is getting a second season, and it's coming sooner than you might think. The anime will premiere in October 2026 on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block, airing Wednesday nights at 24:45 (effectively Thursday mornings at 12:45 a.m.). The official website also released a teaser visual to kick off the hype.

One of the biggest confirmations is that rock band FLOW will return to handle the opening theme, titled "Sorrow." FLOW's involvement signals the production is maintaining creative continuity after a successful first season.

If you missed the first season or want a refresher, Fuji TV and Kansai TV will begin re-airing it starting this July. The original series debuted in October 2023 and streamed globally on Crunchyroll with both subtitles and an English dub.

For those unfamiliar with the story: A Returner's Magic Should Be Special follows Desir Herman, a magician who gets a rare second chance at life. After a party of six heroes fails to stop the Shadow World from devastating humanity, Desir awakens thirteen years in the past. His mission is to reunite his team and prevent the catastrophe that destroyed civilization.

The anime adapts Wookjakga's Korean web comic, which itself was based on Usonan's original story published on Kakao Page from 2016 to 2019. Yen Press handles the English release of the source material, making the series accessible to Western fans across multiple formats.

With FLOW's music and Fuji TV's +Ultra backing, the second season looks positioned to build on the first season's momentum. October 2026 gives the production team several months to polish the series, and the re-airing of Season 1 will help refresh viewer memories before the new episodes drop.
