Phantom in the Twilight Season 2: Premiere Date, Characters, Plot

Phantom in the Twilight (also known as Fantomu in za Towairaito in Japanese) is an original action anime television series. Prior to the release of the show, a manga adaptation written and illustrated by Haruta Mayuzumi began serialization in the LINE Manga app on March 25, 2018 and new chapters are being published to this day. Just months after the release of the manga series, Season 1 of the anime television series, produced by game developer Happy Elements and famed animation studio Liden Films, was released on July 10, 2018.

Although it was not very highly rated show, it still managed to get decent ratings and create its own fanbase. With Season 1 now over, fans are eagerly waiting to hear news on a second season and here’s everything we know about the prospects of Season 2 thus far.

Phantom in the Twilight Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere?

Phantom in the Twilight season 1, consisting of 12 episodes, premiered on July 10, 2018 and ran till September 25 of the same year. In spite of the show’s moderate success, a second season has not been announced yet and it remains to be seen whether a second season will be made.

That being said, there’s no reason to get worried just yet if you’re looking forward to a new season of Phantom in the Twilight. Anime shows sometimes take years to renew and hence, there’s plenty of time left for a second season to be announced. Further, since new chapters of the manga adaptation are still being published, there’s new content being created on a regular basis.

Given this fact, we think that Phantom in the Twilight has a pretty decent chance of being renewed for a second season. However, the anime industry is an unpredictable one and it is impossible to say for certain what fate awaits the show till Happy Elements or Lide Films makes an official announcement on its future. We’re keeping our ears open for news on Phantom in the Twilight season 2 release date and we’ll update this section as soon as we hear something reliable.
