The journey of Arthur Leywin continues
The highly anticipated second season of The Beginning After The End has finally been unveiled. Fans were treated to a brand-new trailer and key visual confirming that the anime’s next chapter will premiere in April 2026. The announcement reignited excitement across the anime community, as viewers prepare to return to the magical continent of Dicathen where reincarnation, power, and fate intertwine.
The new visual captures Arthur Leywin standing against a glowing backdrop that hints at both conflict and growth. It perfectly sets the tone for what’s to come — a continuation of the deeply emotional and action-packed journey that began in Season 1.
Returning staff and creative team
The Beginning After The End Season 2 will be directed by Keitaro Motonaga at Studio A-CAT. The series composition is handled by Takamitsu Kono, while Masami Sueoka returns as the character designer. Music for the sequel is composed by Keiji Inai, known for his grand and emotional soundscapes that perfectly match the fantasy world of the series.
With the same core creative team returning, the anime is expected to maintain its high production values and visually striking style that fans praised in the first season. Studio A-CAT’s fluid animation, combined with Inai’s cinematic score, promises an even more immersive experience in Season 2.
The cast returns for another magical adventure
The main voice cast will reprise their roles for the sequel, including:
Natsumi Fujiwara as Arthur Leywin, Makoto Furukawa as King Grey, Kana Ichinose as Tessia, Chiaki Omigawa as Jasmine, Gen Sato as Elijah Knight, and Shoya Chiba as Lucas Wykes.
Each actor’s performance brought depth to the layered storytelling of Season 1, balancing the show’s themes of reincarnation, self-discovery, and redemption. The second season is expected to expand on these emotional arcs as Arthur faces new challenges and reconnects with his past identity as King Grey.
A story of rebirth, growth, and redemption
Based on TurtleMe’s globally popular web novel and webtoon, The Beginning After The End follows King Grey, a powerful monarch who dies under mysterious circumstances and is reborn as Arthur Leywin in a world governed by magic. Despite starting anew as a child, Arthur retains his past wisdom and regrets, shaping his destiny with greater purpose and emotional depth.
Season 1 introduced audiences to Arthur’s early life and his gradual mastery of magic. It also explored his complex relationships, his moral dilemmas, and his struggle to reconcile two lives’ worth of memories. The second season will likely delve deeper into the secrets of Dicathen, the growing tensions between kingdoms, and Arthur’s evolution from prodigy to protector.
Crunchyroll and TurtleMe’s growing collaboration
Crunchyroll, which streamed the first season, has confirmed that it will also stream Season 2 globally. TurtleMe, the author of the original series, recently shared his enthusiasm for the anime’s next chapter. In a previous interview, he expressed that Crunchyroll had been “instrumental in bridging the creative vision with global reach,” ensuring that fans around the world could experience Arthur’s story in the best possible form.
The creator also announced a Kickstarter campaign for the print edition of the first three volumes of the webtoon, signaling the continued growth of The Beginning After The End across different media formats.
What to expect from Season 2
The new trailer teases a darker and more mature tone for the upcoming season. Arthur’s path toward greatness will not only test his strength but also his morality and emotional resilience. The teaser hints at larger-scale conflicts, intricate worldbuilding, and revelations that will challenge his understanding of power and destiny.
Fans can expect stunning visuals, high-stakes magical battles, and the introspective character writing that made the first season stand out. As Arthur’s powers evolve and his past life continues to influence his decisions, the story promises to blend action and philosophy in equal measure.
A global fan favorite returns in 2026

With Season 2 now on the horizon, the series is poised to cement its place as one of the most compelling fantasy anime of the decade.
