The second season of Sasaki and Peeps premieres in October 2026 with a new director, Yushi Ibe, and a premiere episode shown at Anime Expo 2026 that deepens the political plot.
The second season of Sasaki and Peeps is set for an October 2026 premiere, with a new director at the helm. Yushi Ibe, who served as episode and assistant director on the first season, takes over directing duties at SILVER LINK. Several first-season staff have moved into supervisory roles: Yamato Ouchi is now assistant director, Kazunori Ozawa handles action supervision, Yuko Shintani becomes compositing director of photography, and Tsutomu Ogasawara joins as 3D director. Series composition writer Deko Akao, character designer Saori Nakashiki, and sound director Nobuyuki Abe all return. New music producers Koji Fujimoto and Osamu Sasaki were previously announced. Crunchyroll will stream the second season.
The season two premiere, shown at Anime Expo 2026, picks up immediately after the first season. The episode follows Sasaki and Peeps helping Count Müller with a kidnapping, and reveals that Sasaki will be granted land and a title. The episode signals the show is leaning fully into its blend of fantasy politics and absurdity, moving past initial world-building into the consequences of its characters' choices.
The first season aired from January to March 2024, totaling 12 episodes. The light novel series, written by Buncololi with illustrations by Kantoku, won the Tankobon and Novel categories in the 2022 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! guidebook.
