It’s been six years now and fans are still waiting for WorldEnd Season 2. The first season of the show ended on June 27, 2017, and since then fans have eagerly been waiting for the next season.
World End aka WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? is light fantasy, romance, and sci-fi anime that became quite popular among fans in 2017.
Shumatsu Nani Shitemasu Ka? Isogashii Desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii Desu ka? is based on the fantasy light novel series by Akira Kareno. While we got a sequel to the light novel series, there is still no news regarding season 2 of the anime.
Here’s everything you need to know about WorldEnd Season 2, its potential release date, and confirmation.
WorldEnd Season 2? Canceled or Renewed
As of 2022, there is no confirmation regarding WorldEnd Season 2. The Statelight and C2C studios have not released any official statement regarding season 2 of WorldEnd anime.
Season 1 of the show ended back in 2017, so it has been a lot of time for the next season. Most of the time, it only takes a year or two for the production companies to roll out new seasons.
Looking at the light novel series and the manga material available, one thing is for sure there is a lot of story left that can be translated into the anime.
Unfortunately, we don’t see the show returning for a season 2 any time soon. It has not been canceled or renewed by the production companies.
Even then, fans of the show are pretty active on Twitter and most fans want to continue the story in the form of the anime.

Apart from that, there is plenty of anime like Full Dive, All Out, and New Game that is still awaiting a renewal.
World End Season 2 Release Date
Unfortunately, Statelight and C2 have not given any release date for season 2 of WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?
The first anime season received great reviews from critics, however, the studio has not decided to renew the show for now and the companies have been tight-lipped about the anime.
Hence, we don’t know if it is canceled or renewed. Fans, on the other hand, are very hopeful that the show will be back for another run.
Even though there is a lot of source material left that can be used in the anime, sadly, there is no news about season 2. It seems that the anime has done its job of promoting the source material that has already ended, so the chances for season 2 are very unlikely.
If you are a fan of novels, you can get the WorldEnd Light Novel series and continue the story while you wait for season 2.
World End Season 2 Story
Even though there is no confirmation regarding season 2 of WorldEnd, if the new season takes place, it will take the story from the fourth volume of the light novel series.
Suka Suka light novel series has five volumes, and the anime only adapted the first three volumes in season 1. This means 2 volumes are still left.
Similarly, the author also released a sequel to the light novel series that has a total of eleven volumes. So, there are a total of 13 volumes left that can be incorporated into the anime.
Thirteen volumes are more than enough for making another season of 12 episodes. Considering the source material, creators can make four additional seasons of the anime.
If you want to continue the story where the anime left off, you can read WorldEnd Light Novel Volume 4 and see what happens next.
