Will SK8 have 2 season?

There wasn't much of a cliffhanger, it was a solidly wrapped up ending. However, I think it may due to the amount of hate it may get in the future. I remember seeing multiple videos on how the fact that Langa is canonically gay and has a crush on Reki changes things. If they didn't kiss or get together, it would come across as invalidating towards the LGBTQ+ community like "even though he's gay, he won't get to express that and will just have to settle for a friendship."
I don't really know, I'm definitely disappointed that they didn't get together, but I'm not outraged. I'm kind of used to the lack of LGBTQ+ representation in anime at this point, including representation that falls through and isn't really representation (characters called slurs, LGBTQ+ characters can't be together, die, etc.)

So we probably won't get a second season, but I won't complain if we do.

I was thinking like a movie where all the squad goes to Canada to Langa's hometown and they all like learn how to snowboard, and get to know more about Langa's roots

Could you post the source where the creators said that Langa is gay?

While the creators have not "officially" stated anything, the fandom wikis are correct most of the time. If you read down into the Sexuality and Relationships categories, that evidence is self sufficient.
On top of that, the official Cindereki audio drama was recently released, which is another clear sign.
Additionally, when someone commented on the official SK8 Instagram's post about the "wordless dap" saying that they would kiss, SK8 liked the comment and replied with 👀


By "canonically gay" I was simply referring to and restating the information from the videos and the information collected in general. I believe the things stated in the fandom wiki are most reliable:
Langa is shown to have a canon crush on Reki, it can be proven in episode 8th when being asked by his mom if he liked [Reki], asking by "person" if not Reki's name, and Langa affirmed with a blush while looking away in embarrassment.
As said in episode 8th, people implied that Langa crush on Reki was romantic, since Nanako asked Langa if he liked them in the romantic way, with the kanji "suki", which means "like".
After his mother asked if he liked Reki indirectly (by asking by "person" if not his name directly), Langa blushes at the question, and affirmed it while looking away from embarrassament. And when his mother say a "her" and he's confused as he repeat "her?"



You can choose to interpret this however you like, however it seems extremely obvious that Langa does in fact like Reki.

I understood the conversation with his mom in this way: He found it weird that his mom would phrase it like that and blushed because of that since he thought they were both talking about Reki but the phrasing was weird from the part of his mom. He didn’t think to much about it since he thought they were both talking about Reki, his best friend, who is very important to him and who he likes (friendship wise), so he just said yes, since he thought maybe you could phrase it like that with the bond they both have friendship wise. I just really think that Reki is important to him as his best friend and he might love him also like family, like a brother, since he brought Skateboard into his life just as his Dad brought Snowboard into his life. I wouldn’t mind if his sexuality being gay was actually canon, that would be cute, but I don’t like it when people force sexualities on characters who seem mostly like best friends with a strong bond to one another and try to change the genre of a show. But I respect wanting it to be that way tho but don’t call it canon when it’s not official (yet).
