So far, Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 has not been officially announced, so there is no release date for the second season of this anime, but the question is, will there be a Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 and a release date for it?
Here’s what we know so far about whether or not there will be a new season and when it will be released.
The anime series Wise Man’s Grandchild, known as Kenja No Mago in Japanese, is based on a successful light novel of the same name that was first published in 2015. The Wise Man’s Grandchild light novel series is written by Tsuyoshi Yoshioka and illustrated by Seiji Kikuchi.
Wise Man’s Grandchild is an isekai fantasy series with action elements loved by people worldwide, which follows Shin Wolford, who is reincarnated into an unknown world as a baby, but that doesn’t stop him from quickly becoming one of the strongest people in the series.
The anime television series Wise Man’s Grandchild has only had one season so far directed by Masafumi Tamura and animated by Studio Silver Link. There is no confirmation if the studio or director would be returning for a sequel.
The first 12-episode Wise Man’s Grandchild television anime series premiered in Japan in April 2019. Since then, it has amassed a big fan base that is still waiting for a continuation to get announced.

Will There Be Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2?
Unfortunately, Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 will almost certainly never happen. And the reasons for a second season of Kenja No Mago not happening are simple. Wise Man’s Grandchild anime failed to get popular or make a good profit. That’s why it’s unlikely that a production committee would decide to fund the second season of Wise Man’s Grandchild.
It’s sad, but it happens sometimes. The first season sold only around 900 copies per blu-ray which is terrible. The light novels are selling less than 15,000 copies per volume, and even the merchandise and the new mobile game for this franchise did really poorly.
The only decent selling point about this series is the manga. It usually sells around 80,000 to 100,000 copies per volume. That’s not bad, but not enough to warrant spending a few million dollars to make Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2. There just isn’t enough profit or popularity for this series.

Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 Release Date
There is no official release date for Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 because a second season was never confirmed or announced, and it’s really unlikely that there will ever be a release date for Wise Man’s Grandchild season 2.
I wanted to say that there is still a chance of this series getting a new season and a release date. However, Wise Man’s Grandchild got a mobile game in 2020, but it’s making less than 5,000 dollars per month. It shows that there is no point in making a second season when the fans of this anime aren’t supporting it.
We will update this post if there is any news or a release date for Wise Man’s Grandchild announced on the Kenja No Mago official Twitter account. If you’ve given up hope that a new Wise Man’s Grandchild season will ever be released, you can start reading the light novel from volume 4 since the anime covered volumes 1 to 3.
