Witch Hat Atelier is getting a second season. The show's official site confirmed the renewal on Tuesday, and Crunchyroll will stream the new run — the same partner that simulcast the first season with subs and dubs.
Quick answer
Witch Hat Atelier (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) Season 2 is officially in production at studio BUG FILMS. The first season premiered April 6, 2026 on Tokyo MX and BS11 and ran to its 13th episode, with Crunchyroll and Netflix simulcasting subtitled and dubbed versions worldwide. It adapts Kamome Shirahama's manga, serialized in Kodansha's Morning Two since July 2016 (16 volumes and counting). According to SenpaiRanks, Witch Hat Atelier holds an 8.3 adjusted Consensus score — top-tier for a debut season. No firm Season 2 premiere date yet; expect a 2027 window.
What you're getting into
If you skipped the first cour, here's the pitch: Coco, a girl who always believed magic was something you're born into, learns it's actually drawn — literally, with ink and a careful hand — and gets pulled into a hidden world of witches who guard that secret. It's a coming-of-age story about craft, rules, and the cost of breaking them, animated with the kind of line work that earns the phrase "anime at the top of its craft" that ANN's episode-13 review reached for.
Who's making it
BUG FILMS handled the first season and returns for the second. Shirahama's manga is the draw here — her page layouts and costume design are unusually detailed for a shonen-adjacent fantasy, and the studio leaned into that rather than flattening it for a TV budget. That fidelity is most of why the show landed where it did on our board.

The read
A quick renewal — confirmed the same week the finale aired — is a confidence signal. Studios don't greenlight a second season that fast unless disc, merch, or streaming numbers came in strong. Per SenpaiRanks's ranking, Witch Hat sits in the upper tier of 2026 debuts; rate it yourself on its page to see whether your taste agrees with the crowd or pushes it higher.
