The second season of Sasaki and Peeps is set to premiere in October 2026, with Yushi Ibe directing at SILVER LINK. The premiere episode, shown at Anime Expo 2026, deepened the series' political intrigue and absurdist genre blend.
Kadokawa announced in June 2026 that the second season of the Sasaki and Peeps television anime will premiere in October. The season is directed by Yushi Ibe at SILVER LINK, who previously worked as episode and assistant director on the first season. Several first-season staff moved into supervisory roles: Yamato Ouchi becomes assistant director, Kazunori Ozawa takes over action supervision, and Yuko Shintani becomes compositing director of photography. Series composition writer Deko Akao, character designer Saori Nakashiki, and sound director Nobuyuki Abe all return. Crunchyroll will stream the season.
At Anime Expo 2026, the season two premiere was screened. Reviews from Yomimono indicate the series is not backing away from its unusual identity but growing more confident. The episode dives straight back into factional intrigue, with Sasaki and Peeps helping Count Müller with a kidnapping and learning that Sasaki will be granted land and a title. The show's strength is described as its unfazed acceptance of the absurd, blending fantasy kingdom politics, corporate espionage, and supernatural elements.
The first season aired from January to March 2024, totaling 12 episodes. The light novel series, written by Buncololi with illustrations by Kantoku, won the Tankobon and Novel categories in the 2022 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! guidebook.
