Crunchyroll teases Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2’s release time, new director talks on development

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 is officially renewed. Fans are going crazy after knowing that Season 3 is also renewed. The success of Season 1 was remarkable that paved the way for confirmation of two more seasons.

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 is said to be out in 2021. The release of Season 2 is not possible in this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. China’s Wuhan-emerged coronavirus and its transmutation into a global pandemic shattered the entire entertainment industry with unfathomable financial loss. Majority of the television and movie projects had been halted or postponed for indefinite time. Thus, fans need to wait for an additional time for Season 2’s release.

Thanks to Crunchyroll for taking to Twitter and hinting that Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 will be out in 2021. See the tweet below:
