Made in Abyss Season 2: Trailers, Episodes, Cast and Review (September 2024)

Although three years past the first season aired on our screen, the desire for a second season of Made in Abyss persists among fans. Moreover, early this year, Kinema Citrus studio came up with a movie adaptation of the anime. The worldwide airing of the movie is taking time due to Covid-19, but fans in Japan enjoyed every bit of it.

The sequel movie, in Its ending scene, mentioned, “To be continued”. Hence the prospects of Made in Abyss Season 2 airing gets a green signal.

Also, a tweet of a poster from season 2 of the manga anime on the official Twitter account of MIA further made the indications obvious. Therefore, the Made in Abyss season 2 is set to release in 2022 and is confirmed.

In this article, you will read every detail surrounding Made in Abyss Season 2 premiering in 2022.

What Do We Know About the Makers of Made in Abyss Season 2?

Masayuki Kojima directed the anime series, and Hideyuki Kurata wrote the script. Kevin Penkin also composed the various soundtracks that follow the anime.

Moreover, the iconic and popular anime with cute characters exploring a lost civilization inside a giant pit-hole is originally derived from a Japanese manga series. Akihito Tsukushi is the writer and illustrator of the manga series and has been published in Takeshobo’s digital publication of a web comic named Gamma since 2012. The webcomic is compiled into nine Takobon volumes. Kazuchika Kise contributed to the character designing part.

Later, in 2015, Kinema Citrus studio adapted the manga as an anime series, which aired from July 7 to September 17, 2017.

Therefore, the sequel movie of the hit fantasy anime included the same creators as the first season. Also, a video game developed by Spike Chunsoft will make its release in 2022, which further broadens the chances of a second season of Made in Abyss. So far, we don’t know anything about the makers of season 2, but we can expect the same names to collaborate again.

What is the Plot of Made in Abyss?

The popular anime series’ story is about an orphaned girl, Riko, from the Belchero orphanage in Orth town. In the town center, there is a giant pit hole or cave called the Abyss, which contains many artifacts and historical evidence from a past civilization.

The Abyss is quite famous among Cave Raiders, but the mist-filled hazy Abyss carries dangerous consequences. The Cave Raiders explore the Abyss filled with antique remnants, but only a few can survive the Curse of the Abyss. Only in rare cases can the Cave Raiders return from the mysterious depths of the Abyss. Riko’s mother is one of the survivors and has earned the title of White Washer for her legendary expedition inside the Abyss. Unfortunately, she has also disappeared into the Abyss.

Therefore, Riko also aspires to be a White Whistle someday, following her mother’s path. She met a Human-like Robot named Reg. Riko and her friend, along with Reg, start their quest inside the Abyss. A floating balloon on the surface of the Abyss carried with it the news about her mother. It read that she would find her mother in the depths of the Abyss.

Thus, Riko and Reg descend to the end of the mysterious Abyss, searching for her long-lost mother.

After the first season, a continuation of the series as a movie, Dawn of The Deep Soul, was featured early this year. Now, another continuation will follow in the form of another season. Let’s speculate every detail on Made in Abyss season 2. Read below.

When will Made in Abyss Season 2 Air in 2022?

So far, no particular release date has been announced for the airing of Made in Abyss Season 2. However, sources have claimed that the new series will be on your screens in early 2022. The new season will be named Made in Abyss: The Sun Blazes upon the Golden City. However, according to other sources, the series could be titled Made in Abyss: The Golden Town of Relentless Day.

Thus, between the argument of a possible title, one thing is for sure: season 2 will air in 2022. Also, there is no significant period between the sequel movie and the first season. So, a third season will possibly air in 2021.

Further, the official website of MIA has announced another sequel to be made after the movie Dawn of the Deep Soul. Contrary to this, fans also argue if the next sequel will be a movie adaptation like last time. However, the latest manga publications will best suit another season to carve light on all the significant characters of the story.

Thus, let’s look into other factors that can determine Season 2.

Is there enough source material available for another season of MIA, or will it be a movie adaptation?

One of the most crucial factors for another season is the abundance of manga, which is the prime source material for anime. We have to speculate in what form the next sequel will be released by Kinema Citrus production house, arguably if it will be a movie adaptation again.

The manga writer Akihito Tsukushi is still working on new chapters and releases them every month. The last one is the 8th chapter, released in 2021.

Moreover, around 61 manga volumes are available so far, with two sub-chapters each from chapters 42 and 46. Only chapters 1, 2, 6, 7, 18, and 23 are entirely left to be adapted in its next season. However, the sequel of the anime parts could include unused details from the rest of the manga.

Therefore, based on the source material’s availability, the next sequel could be the last anime adaptation. Also, the author needs to pace up the writing to produce effective content that can sustain a whole series.

Storyline Made in Abyss season 2

The pace at which the story Made in Abyss excels requires at least three seasons to unfold the real secrets of the Abyss. Therefore, the inevitable question is if all the depths of the Abyss reach an end.

The Abyss is like a wormhole, where even darkness itself cannot reach. As a result, new instances transpire with the descent through each layer. Riko and Reg have to surpass each layer until the last layer, or the seventh layer, known as Maelstorm.

However, whether the Maelstorm layer is the deepest point or not is not yet known. The story might continue to several other layers of the Abyss that Reco and Reg have to descend to finally find her mother. But until now, white whistles have given up all hope of ever returning to the ordinary world.

And while Riko goes deeper into the Abyss, at least till the sixth layer becomes a white whistle. However, little did she know about the scary mysteries and truth of the Abyss beyond the Sixth layer.

The story might also take a turn and centre around Riko’s expedition in the village of Narehate or the Three Sages. The ancient people of the forgotten past world created these villages, constituting humans who have faced the curse of the Abyss. These creatures are stuck in the Abyss forever, in a never-returning phase.

Or it may so happen that no curse exists at all in Narehate village, and Riko finds new shreds of evidence about her lost mother. Also, in season 2, there will be a unique variety of characters and creatures in the Narehatte village.

Therefore we can conclude that season 2, airing in 2022, will bring new mysteries and exciting stories. Hence, just wait and watch!

Will there be more sequels after Made in Abyss season 2?

Akihito Tsukushi is still writing Manga volumes, with the last season released in July last year. Moreover, upcoming manga volumes are still in production. Thus, there is a very big possibility that we will get to see more of the Abyss’s history.

Also, Kinema Studio might launch another movie as a sequel to Made in Abyss season 2. But it is certain that the story won’t end with only two seasons and a movie.

The voice-over artist plays a significant role in engaging the audience with the series’ characters. We are also expected to see a new character and cast in MIA season 2. But for that, we will have to wait until the makers officially announce anything. However, the casting of some of the main characters from Made in Abyss is given below:

Conclusion:

Although we do not know the exact release date, it will certainly be released in 2022 as a sequel season. Therefore, stay tuned for Made in Abyss season 2.

It won’t be long enough before Kinema Citrus Studio comes out with its next sequel, a whole season of episodes. Also, the anime’s continuation won’t end with the second season, and many more sequels will air in the future.
