 The official website of the Vinland Saga anime series announced a second season on Wednesday. The new season commemorates the second anniversary of the television anime's broadcast. The website also revealed an announcement promo and teaser visual (pictured).Shuuhei Yabuta (Vinland Saga, Inuyashiki) is returning to direct the new season, with Takahiko Abiru (Hunter x Hunter (2011) animation director, Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season animation director) also returning as the character designer. Vinland Saga adapts Makoto Yukimura's action adventure viking-themed manga, which he originally launched in Weekly Shounen Magazine in April 2005 before switching it to Monthly Afternoon in December that year. Kodansha published the 24th volume on October 23 last year, with the 25th volume scheduled for release on July 21. Vinland Saga has a cumulative 5.5 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation. The television anime's first three episodes debuted on NHK General in Summer 2019 and ended with 24 episodes in Fall that year, adapting the first eight volumes. Amazon's Prime Video platform streamed the first episode ahead of the television broadcast and holds exclusive streaming rights for the show worldwide. Shuuhei Yabuta helmed the anime series at Wit Studio, featuring character designs by Takahiko Abiru. Hiroshi Seko (Mob Psycho 100) handled the series composition and also penned the script with Kenta Ihara (Youjo Senki). Yutaka Yamada (Great Pretender) composed the scores. Kodansha Manga licensed the manga in English in October 2012 and began publishing it in 2-in-1 omnibus format the following October. The 11th volume, covering volumes 21 and 22, shipped in December 2019. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages, including Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and French. Vinland Saga won the Grand Prize in the manga division at the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards in 2009 and the 36th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga in 2012.

| Best arc ever finally animated |
| Amazing news! I really adored the first season. |
Shuuhei Yabuta (Vinland Saga, Inuyashiki) is returning to direct the new season, with Takahiko Abiru (Hunter x Hunter (2011) animation director, Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season animation director) also returning as the character designer. Hopefully, same Studio too. Some might argue that's a given but I need confirmation before I rest easy. In any case, this ought to be fantastic! Looks like our boy, Thorfinn's, grown up a fair bit. |

| guess I should probably get around to watching the first season now |
 |
| Great news. I'm hoping for a two cour season. |
| Great news! Thrilled for the season. |
| Glad they announced it. Let's fucking go! |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I don't think the manga material post-season 1 is as strong as what we did get in season 1, but it's still some strong material that will likely be covered in these two cours. And the director returning from season 1 is promising news as some of those season 1 episodes - most notably when Askeladd's group slaughter that village in the snow - were fantastically directed and elevated well beyond the source material; hopefully he can work his magic with this next couple of arcs. |
| Good to have a new season. |
 |
| AYEEEE FINALLYYYYYY WHAT A GOOD DAY |
 dearest my bb shinah ty for the bday present <33 |
| Damn. Finaaaaaaaally. Tho I have to say this season won't be as strong as the last, still it's gonna be fricking amazing. Let's GOOOOO. |
 |
| i remember reading a sample of the chapter after the prologue . it really felt like a completely new story . and if i remember correctly , that final page was one of the most hilarious but jaw dropping things i had ever seen hahahahaha. |
| At laaaaaast it's coming! I'm not expecting it any sooner than Spring 2022, but I'm just so glad we'll be seeing my favorite arc animated! |
| Super excited about this. I'm not expecting it anytime soon though. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Well, here comes another modern classic after AOT. Hope it has the same quality of direction as of season 1. I am too hyped for this. It would be better if it doesn't get fucked by Amazon Prime jail. |
| Aot S4p2, Made in Abyss s2 and then Vinland S2. Im happy |
 |
| Damn, we’ve gotten some good announcements these past couple of weeks. Honestly pure hype |
MAL EMOJIS - Get your specially formatted emojis for MAL forums.         |
| Was unsure if Vinland would ever get a second season honestly but was a nice surprise to see |
  |
| Niceee. Feels like ages since I watched the first season |
| okay, time to catch up |
| PogU one of my favorite shows making a come back! Can't wait for this one, really excited to watch it!! ^^ |
 |
| Amazing news! I wonder which studio will adapt it. WIT has said they want to focus on original projects, so idk if they will continue with the second season or whether a different studio will take it up. I'm really excited to see the next arc animated. |
| As much as we all want Wit Studio to come back, the new studio that's created (KAFKA) will most probably be done for the job together with the same production team. Still though, I plow fields again for the 2nd outing! |
 |
| Incredibly excited. Farmland Saga was probably my favourite arc. Can't wait to see it animated. |
| my body is ready~ letzz gooo!! |
| I knew it was just a matter of time xd Though I´m curious to which studio is going to animate it. |
| How I love a game |
| congrats to the fans, I am not that excited considering that I heard that this arc has 0 action fights. |
    |
| farmland saga is my fav arc lesgo |
| ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| Crying tears of joy |
| Well, well... Look at that, a new season for a show some anime connoisseurs insisted would never get another season because "the japanese don't give a fuck about it and only westerners like it". |
 |
| yoooo, good news. |
| Lol, unexpected. I still remember helping to translate into Russian the speculations about the second season last year. |
 |
| YESSSSS!!!! Cannot waittttttt |
 |
| This is a good news indeed and a good anime ~ But Dear God, lets hope it is good as previous season atleast...Man, most 2nd season anime kinda floppy goofy for this couple of years. |
Once a flower withered, it can never bloom again.. |
| DAMN, this is the best news i have ever heard in whole week thanks for brighten up my shitty day T_____T |
