Fate/strange Fake Anime Confirms New Season With Teaser Visual

Aniplex confirmed a new season of the Fate/strange Fake television anime on Saturday, a day after announcing it at a panel during the Anime NYC event on Friday. The company released a teaser visual carrying the words "Rise Against the Rules" and "New Season Confirmed," along with an announcement trailer. Story details and a broadcast date have not been announced. The first season ran 13 episodes and aired from January to March 2026 on Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV, and Tochigi TV. Its first episode premiered early on December 31, 2024, ahead of the regular run, and the final episode ended with a "to be continued" message. The anime adapts Ryohgo Narita's Fate/strange Fake light novel, a spin-off of the Fate series set in Snowfield, Nevada, where an irregular Holy Grail War unfolds. A-1 Pictures handled the animation, with Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume directing and Hiroyuki Sawano composing the music. Kana Hanazawa and Yuki Ono lead the cast as Ayaka Sajo and Saber.

The announcement follows the first season's 13-episode run, which ended in March 2026 with a "to be continued" message. The series continues the story of Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn, the one-hour special that premiered in Japan in July 2023. Crunchyroll streams the series in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS, and began streaming the English dub in January 2026.

Staff on the first season included directors Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume at A-1 Pictures, with Daisuke Daito writing scripts, Yukei Yamada handling character design and chief animation direction, and Hiroyuki Sawano composing the music. The voice cast includes Kana Hanazawa as Ayaka Sajo, Yuki Ono as Saber, Sumire Morohoshi as Tiné Chelc, and Tomokazu Seki as Archer. Narita first published the story as an April Fool's joke in 2008 before developing it into a light novel series with illustrations by Shizuki Morii, which began in January 2015.
