The Spice and Wolf anime reboot, Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf, has been officially renewed for a second season. The announcement comes after the successful conclusion of the first season, which aired earlier this year as part of the 15th anniversary celebration of the original Spice and Wolf anime adaptation.
The reboot, which premiered in spring 2024, revisited the major arcs of the original series while also adapting new material from Isuna Hasekura and Ju Ayakura’s light novel series that was not included in previous adaptations. This included the Legend of the Pagan Gods arc, which was featured in the second half of the season. The new material brought a fresh perspective to the series, sparking excitement among longtime fans and introducing a new generation of viewers to the story.
Following the release of the final episode of Season 1 in the Summer 2024 season, a special announcement was made revealing that the series would return for a second season. Although a specific release date has not yet been revealed, a new visual featuring the character of Holo has been shared to celebrate the news.
The first season of Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf ran for two cours (over 20 episodes) and covered the main story seen in the original 2008 anime. The remake also ventured into new territory, adapting material from the light novels that had not previously been animated. As a result, the upcoming second season is expected to expand the story even further, possibly including even more arcs from the novels that have not yet been adapted.
The original Spice and Wolf anime ran for 24 episodes and included two OVA specials, but the remake is on its way to surpassing that by adding a second season. The potential for new episodes and arcs means this reboot could ultimately become the most complete adaptation of the light novel series to date.
