My Dress-Up Darling season 2 release date is expected in the winter or spring of 2024, as the anime series is currently under production.
There were initial fears by fans of the Japanese anime series that, in spite of the success of the first installation, the show may be canceled. However, Aniplex has since confirmed that My Dress-up Darling will return for yet another season. The series tells the story of a boy traumatized by childhood experiences who is encouraged by his classmate to create beautiful cosplay costumes. Here is all we know about the second season of the show.
Is My Dress-up Darling Season 2 Canceled?
No, My Dress-up Darling season 2 is not canceled. In fact, there is hardly any reason why the anime series should be canceled, as it recorded sales of more than 9.3 million copies as of May 2023.
In fact, it has already been announced since 2022 that the anime series is coming back for yet another season, but an official date has not been announced for the release. Apart from that, the source manga still has chapters, which is why no one expects the anime series to be canceled any time soon.
When Is My Dress-up Darling Season 2 Coming Out?
For now, there is still no announcement on when My Dress-up Darling Season 2 is coming out. As indicated, there has been confirmation that we are going to have a second season, but the exact release date is what is now unknown. The production process is already on, and what many believe is that it will most likely come out in 2024.

How Many My Dress-up Darling Episodes Are There?
With only a season released yet, the anime series has a total of 12 episodes. The first episode, “Someone Who Lives in the Exact Opposite World as Me,” was first aired on January 9, 2022.
The CloverWorks-produced anime series dropped the second episode, “Wanna Hurry Up, and Do It?” on January 16, 2022. Two more episodes were dropped in the same month, and then in February, four more episodes were released, followed by the final four in March 2022. The last and 12th episode of My Dress-up Darling Season 1, “My Dress-Up Darling,” was released on March 27, 2022.
For now, it is not clear how many episodes will be released in the second season of the series as that has not been announced. Nonetheless, CloverWorks may likely maintain the same number of episodes or take it either slightly higher or lower, which is unlikely.
Is My Dress-up Darling Manga Finished?
No, My Dress-up Darling Manga series is not yet completed. Written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda, it is now in its 11th volume, with the 12th already on the way. The first 11 volumes have a total of 87 chapters.
Thus far, the first season of the anime series covered a total of 39 chapters, which means that from the first to the 5th volume of the manga. What this means is that just as the Manga still has some way to go before it reaches its finish line, so also the anime series still has some way to go.
When Is My Dress-up Darling Season 2 Release Date on Crunchyroll?
The release date of My Dress-up Darling Season 2 on Crunchyroll has not yet been announced. However, it is one of the first places that one will find the series for streaming once it is released in 2024, as speculated.
Crunchyroll is one of the main licensed partners of the show which is why once CloverWorks is done, one of the first platforms that it will appear on after airing is the American over-the-top streaming platform.
