The detective is already dead Season 2: Release date and plot details

 

 

'The Detective Is Already Dead' or 'Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru' is an action television anime that follows Kimihiko Kimizuka, a crisis magnet who inadvertently becomes embroiled in extremely unfortunate and troublesome circumstances. In one such case, he meets the legendary detective named Siesta, who recruits the younger adult as his partner. The duo then embarks on numerous misadventures around the world and solves countless cases until Siesta's unfortunate death. Kimihiko tries to start a new life to overcome the death of his mentor, only to realize that his influence isn't going away anytime soon. Based on Nigojuu's light novel series of the same name, the show first premiered on July 4, 2021.

The mysterious premise of the series impressed critics who made a panegyric of the show for its unique narrative and stunning action scenes. After the conclusion of season 1, viewers have been speculating about the renewal of the show. If that's something that has also intrigued you, let us help you learn everything you need to know.

The detective is already dead Season 2 Release Date

Season 1 of 'The Detective Is Already Dead' was released on July 4, 2021, and the season finale premiered a few weeks later, on September 19, 2021. The first season consists of twelve episodes with a duration of approximately 23-25 minutes each.

If you're wondering about the release of the anime's next installment, here's everything we know so far. Neither ENGI nor anyone else involved in the production of the series has officially confirmed the renewal of the program. Unfortunately, the action anime Seinen TV failed to impress viewers in the West and had an average overall rating, which may make fans worry that it will eventually affect the show's prospects for another season.

There's no denying that international reviews and ratings are important, but seinen anime has somehow managed to get a huge following in Japan. In recent months, the sale of Nigojuu's titular light novel series has skyrocketed, and the anime itself has been one of the most-watched shows on various streaming platforms.

These developments are unlikely to go unnoticed, and the growing number of national followers should be enough to justify another delivery. Therefore, fans may hear about the renewal of the show sooner rather than later. We can expect season 2 of 'The Detective is Already Dead' to premiere sometime in late 2022 or early 2023.

The detective is already dead Season 2 plot: What is it about?

In the season 1 finale, legendary fan-favorite detective Siesta surprisingly returns to save his partner. In the epic confrontation with Chameleon, his consciousness takes Nagisa Natsunagi's body under his control to defeat the antagonist once and for all. However, Siesta clarifies that she will not return to help again, as it may become a significant setback for Nagisa's development as the new legendary detective. His feelings about Kimihiko are also addressed in the finale, as he agrees to have a romantic bond with his partner.

In season 2, Hel's bond with Siesta will likely be explored further, as they have a mysterious shared history. There have been several instances where it has also been implied that the legendary detective probably knew Nagisa in the past. However, viewers never really learn how, and we can expect the next installment to provide some clarification on the same. It would be interesting to see how Kimihiko adapts to his new reality, as Siesta will not return again, having passed his legacy on to Charlotte Arisaka Anderson, Yui Saikawa, and Nagisa.
