The second season of Witch Watch will begin airing sometime in 2027. A teaser visual was released with the announcement.
The anime’s website reveals that Season 1 director Ikehata Hiroshi (i☆Ris the Movie – Full Energy!!, Dark Gathering, Akiba’s Trip The Animation) is returning with series composer Deko Akao (May I Ask for One Final Thing?, The World’s Strongest Rearguard), character designer Haruko Iizuka (Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, Horimiya), and music composer Yukari Hashimoto (Though I Am an Inept Villainess).
There are also some changes to the production credits. Iizuka is now sharing the character design credit with Season 1 sub-character designers Kaishu Sugimura (A Condition Called Love opening animation animation director) and Yuki Sawa (Magical Destroyers character designer). Additionally, Season 1’s Bibury Animation Studios is now co-producing with STUDIO MASSKET.
The first Witch Watch season debuted in April 2025 and was a two-cour show. The anime is based on the fantasy rom-com manga by Kenta Shinohara, with the premise seeing ogre familiar Morihito Otogi living with his childhood friend and witch Nico, who likes him.
The Witch Watch manga started serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2021 and has 28 volumes as of October 2026. It’s available in English via MANGA Plus and Viz Media, with the latter’s synopsis reading:
Morihito Otogi’s family is descended from a long line of ogre familiars, and he has the inhuman strength to prove it. One day, his father comes to him with the life-changing news that he is to become the familiar of his childhood friend, the teenage witch Nico. He is to live under the same roof with her and protect her from anything and anyone that may attempt to harm her. Meanwhile, Nico is excited to get to live with the love of her life, even if her crush is one-sided—Morihito is so serious about his duties to protect her that any romance is going to be an uphill battle. But he has every reason to be serious, as Nico has a prophecy of doom hanging over her head!
