The announcement about the second season came in May 2021 through the series’ official Twitter account.

The title for the second season, according to series music composer Kevin Penkin, is “The Sun Blazes Upon the Golden City.” This confirms that season 2 is a direct sequel to the 2020 anime film “Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul.” It will be based on the original manga by author Akihito Tsukushi.

How many ‘Made in Abyss’ Manga Volumes’ are there?

The manga, written by Akihito Tsukushi, has been published regularly since its debut in 2012. There are currently nine volumes. The ninth volume was released on July 27, 2020. The series is ongoing, with four chapters released on Web Comic Gamma, yet to be collected into a 10th volume.

Season one and the film“Dawn of the Deep Soul” covered the first five volumes and some parts of volume six of the manga series. The second season would cover the remaining volumes.

Unfortunately, the makers have not released many details about the second season. We only know that the upcoming season is a direct sequel to the movie. It will adapt the original manga volumes. At the time of writing this, we don’t have much information about the studio that is animating the second season.

Studio Kinema Citrus animated the first season and all three films, most recently worked on the second season of The Rising of the Shield Hero and Cardfight!! Vanguard overDress. Kinema has co-animated these two series, so, it is possible that it is also working on the second season of Made in Abyss.

Apart from the second season, an action role-playing game by Spike Chunsoft will release for consoles and PC in 2022. Helmed by Kevin McMullin, a live-action film is also in production.
