Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 will stream in Fall 2026 on AMC Networks’ HIDIVE as an exclusive simulcast series.

Based on the novels and manga created by Yuu Tanaka, the isekai anime series originally debuted in late 2022. The franchise follows a boy who is reborn in another life as a sentient sword. He’s taken up by Fran, a desperate girl fleeing evil-doers intent on selling her into slavery. With her new weapon’s help and guidance, she’s able to strike down her captors and secure her freedom.

“We’re excited to reveal that Season 2 of the hit isekai Reincarnated as a Sword will return next year and stream exclusively as part of HIDIVE’s Fall 2026 simulcast season line-up,” said John Ledford, president of HIDIVE. ”Reincarnated as a Sword was an instant hit with audiences when the original season premiered on HIDIVE in 2022. The series’ popularity and fandom have never waned since then and will undoubtedly grow even further when Season 2 premieres in 2026!”

The anime series is directed by Shinji Ishihira from a script penned by Takahiro Nagano, with production by C2C.
