Skeleton Knight in Another World is back: season 2 of Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu premieres July 4, 2026 at 8:30 p.m. on AT-X, with Tokyo MX and BS11 following July 9. Aura Studio returns to animate, and Crunchyroll keeps the simulcast — English dub included.
Quick answer According to SenpaiRanks, Skeleton Knight in Another World Season 2 premieres July 4, 2026 on AT-X (8:30 p.m. JST), produced by Aura Studio under returning director Katsumi Ono. It adapts Ennki Hakari's light novels (published by Overlap) and streams on Crunchyroll with an English dub. The first season aired in April 2022. SenpaiRanks tracks it on the summer 2026 isekai board — unranked until votes land, then graded on both Consensus and Quality axes.
The setup Arc, a gamer who wakes up inside his maxed-out skeleton avatar, never got the fade-to-black treatment isekai usually hands its overpowered leads. Season 1 leaned into the gap between his terrifying armored shell and the soft-hearted player underneath. Season 2 picks that thread back up with the same core crew — Ariane and Chiyome along for the road.
Behind the camera Katsumi Ono returns to direct, and a chunk of the season 1 spine comes with him: character designer Tōru Imanishi, monster designer Yoshihiro Nagamori, and sound director Satoshi Motoyama. Toshizo Nemoto steps in on series scripts, with Chisa Shibata on sub-character design and Jia Fang Lu as art director. The source is Ennki Hakari's Overlap light-novel run.
Where to watch it This is where the platform question matters. In Japan it airs on AT-X first, then d Anime Store and ABEMA stream it, with Tokyo MX, BS11, and Sun TV behind. Internationally, Crunchyroll carries the simulcast and — unlike season 1's sub-only early weeks — has signaled an English dub. We list the platforms straight, no platform bias: if it lands elsewhere by region, we'll say so.
Weighing it against the rest of the slate? Our summer 2026 isekai ranking and the broader what to watch this summer hub put it next to its competition. For the catalog page, cast, and score, see Skeleton Knight in Another World on SenpaiRanks.
The read Returning isekai sequels live or die on whether the staff held together — and this one largely did. Per SenpaiRanks, season 2 enters the summer 2026 isekai board the moment it airs; it's unranked today because no votes exist yet. That's the honest version MAL's single static score can't give you: rate it yourself once episode 1 drops and your score moves where it lands on the Consensus rank. That's the whole point of the board — it's the crowd's read, and you're the crowd.
