List of episodes

The second season of the Vinland Saga anime television series is produced by MAPPA and based on the manga series of the same name by Makoto Yukimura. Despite the studio change, the series retained its main production staff from the previous season. The series is directed by Shūhei Yabuta, with Hiroshi Seko handling series composition, Takahiko Abiru designing the characters[1] and Yutaka Yamada composing the music.[2] Taking place a year after the events of the first season, the season primarily focuses on a slave from England named Einar as he meets the protagonist, Thorfinn, while working in a farm.

In July 2021, Twin Engine announced that a second season of the series was in production.[3] Shūhei Yabuta is returning as director, and Takahiko Abiru is returning as character designer.[4] In May 2022, it was announced that MAPPA would be taking over as the production studio for the second season.[5] It aired from January 10 to June 20, 2023, on Tokyo MX, BS11, and GBS.[6][a] The season ran for 24 episodes.[8] For the home media releases, the episodes were divided into two DVD and Blu-ray volumes to be released on June 21, 2023 and August 23, 2023.[9]

The first half of the season features "River" by Anonymouz as the opening theme, while the ending theme is "Without Love" by LMYK.[10][11] The second half of the season uses "Paradox" by Survive Said the Prophet as the opening theme and "Ember" by haju:harmonics as the ending theme.[12]
