Fans of Witch Hat Atelier have cause to celebrate as the official Season 2 Ultra Teaser Trailer dropped at Anime Expo 2026, confirming the sequel is in active production. BUG FILMS is returning to animate, with Ayumu Watanabe directing and Crunchyroll on board to stream the new season globally.
Picking up from Season 1's dramatic Chapter 23 cliffhanger, the teaser hints at a dark road ahead. As Qifrey fights off the grotesque, vengeful golden statues of Romonon, young apprentices Coco and Tetia must navigate the brutal "Second Pentagram Test" arc with limited combat magic.
The preview also teases major lore developments, showcasing Coco in a forbidden Brimmed Cap outfit—hinting at a shift toward the series' antagonists—and offering a first look at the ocean-floor Great Hall and Beldaruit, the Wise in Teachings.
