So I'm a Spider, So What? Season 2 Renewal Status: Is the anime renewed or canceled?
Fans of the isekai series have been anticipating the announcement of the anime's renewal, but unfortunately, animation studio Millepensee and publisher Kadokawa haven't confirmed if So I'm a Spider, So What? is getting a second season. There's certainly enough material from the source material to adapt, so it's likely that there are other reasons why the creators are taking so long for them to greenlight Season 2. It's also worth noting that the anime hasn't been canceled, so hopefully, we'll get an update soon.
So I'm a Spider, So What? Season 2 Release Date Speculation: What year could it potentially arrive?
While fans are still waiting for the announcement of So I'm a Spider, So What? Season 2, we can speculate on when it will be released, if it ever gets the green light. Season 1 was originally set to release in 2020, but it was rescheduled to premiere in January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The anime ran for two consecutive cours (24 episodes) with the final episode of the first season premiering on July 3, 2021.
It's been more than two years since Season 1 concluded, and there are still no updates about the anime's future. Since the anime was well-received by fans, it's likely that the series will continue, but when? Since there are currently no announcement about the anime's renewal, we can only speculate that it will be released sometime in late 2024 or sometime in 2025. Of course, it's possible that it could be released at a much later year or just remain in hiatus for more than a decade, so let's not get our hopes too high until we get an official announcement.
