When the first season concluded this past June, it was revealed that a second season of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes was in production. Slated to air sometime in 2026, the official Twitter/X account for the anime has confirmed the anime is now scheduled for a January release.
The announcement included a new key visual of Pop☆Step, Koichi Haimawari and Knuckleduster striking a pose, overlaid with a sticker with the date January 2026.
Crunchyroll, which is licensed to stream the series outside of Asia, describes the first season of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes:
Koichi Haimawari is a dull college student who aspires to be a hero but has given up on his dream. Although 80% of the world’s population has superhuman powers called Quirks, few are chosen to become heroes and protect people. Everything changes for Koichi when he and Pop☆Step are saved by the vigilante Knuckleduster and get recruited to become vigilantes themselves!
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is a prequel manga to Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia, written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court. It was originally serialized in Jump Giga before moving to Shonen Jump+, running from August 20th, 2016, to May 28th, 2022. In North America, VIZ Media publishes the English translation in both print and digital formats.
