The second season of The Promised Neverland anime television series is based on the manga series of the same name written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu. It adapted the story arc "Promised Forest" (chapters 38–52) before turning towards an anime original direction starting within the beginning of "Search For Minerva" arc, all the while retaining a few themes and plot points of the original manga. On March 29, 2019, a second season was officially announced to be in production.[1] The second season was originally set for an October 2020 release,[2] but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed to air from January 8 to March 26, 2021 on Fuji Television's late-night Noitamina programming block.[3]

The opening theme song for the season is "Identity" (アイデンティティ, "Aidentiti") performed by Kiiro Akiyama, while the ending theme song is "Magic" (魔法, "Mahō") performed by Myuk.[4]
