The Promised Neverland season 2 release date: Netflix

As of now, Netflix hasn’t announced when they will take over season 2, but based on the series’ history on the streaming service, we might be able to tell you when you can expect the second season.

The first season of The Promised Neverland was released in Japan in January 2019 and made its official debut on Netflix many months later in September 2020, so maybe history will repeat itself with the second season, but we’ll have to wait a bit to know for sure.

While we wait for more news about the start date of the second season of The Promised Neverland on Netflix, you can watch every single episode of the first season on Netflix.

Will The Promised Neverland be renewed for season 3?

Not yet, or maybe not anymore. Given the tragic fate of The Promised Neverland season 2, which ended in March 2021, it might be too soon for a renewal. The future of the anime may now be at stake due to the extremely negative feedback on the plot of season 2.

The first season did well and was well received by fans. It currently has a rating of 8.6/10 on MyAnimeList and 8.4/10 on IMDB. However, the rating of the second season has dropped significantly due to criticism. Season 2 now only has a rating of 5.4 on MyAnimeList.

There was enough source material to produce at least one more season. However, season 2 rushed the plot. The finale concluded the story by using stills from other story arcs. This is a tragic, poor, and shameless attempt to conclude an anime with such great potential. The Promised Neverland certainly deserved better. However, it looks like there is no salvation left for the anime, as season 3 of The Promised Neverland seems unlikely. It is more likely that we will see a spinoff and a reboot than a third season.

The Promised Neverland Season 2 Review

The Promised Neverland season 2 was one of the most talked about anime of winter 2021, but for all the wrong reasons. The series deviated from the script, skipping important plotlines and beloved characters in a fast-paced production that left manga fans frustrated and anime viewers confused. As the credits rolled on the final episode, it was almost a relief to not have to watch a beloved series get slaughtered on a weekly basis. Compare this to the first season of 2019 and it’s worlds apart.
