The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2 Second Promotional Video and Song Artists Announced

The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.) fans have received the news they've been waiting for: The second promotional video for the second season has been released, and the artists for the opening and ending songs have been officially announced. According to Anime News Network, the opening song "Kono Shinzō ni Hanabata o" will be performed by the music group Kōme, while the ending song "Hakuchumu" will be performed by Kagura Nana. The new footage is already building up the excitement for the second season.

Adapted from Nigojū's light novel series of the same name, The Detective Is Already Dead made a big splash with its first season in the summer of 2021. Blending mystery, action, and supernatural elements, the series follows the adventures of detective Siesta and her partner Kimizuka Kimihiko. After the announcement of the second season following the first, fans have been eagerly awaiting new episodes. The animation and production quality from studio ENGI were well-received in the first season; the same standards are expected to be maintained in the second season.

The new promotional video focuses on both action scenes and emotional moments between characters. Particularly, glimpses hinting at Siesta's past further pique viewers' curiosity. The ending song "Hakuchumu," performed by Kagura Nana in her calm and melancholic style, complements the series' sorrowful tone. On the other hand, Kōme is a group known for energetic stage performances; the opening song is expected to be filled with lively rhythms.

While Man Kurihara directed the first season, the director for the second season has not been officially announced yet. However, rumors suggest that the production team has been largely retained. The Detective Is Already Dead second season is planned to be released in 2026, but a specific date has not been given yet. The new episodes appear to closely follow the continuation of the story in the light novels. Fans' expectations are high; these new visuals and the singer announcement signal that the season's quality will not fall short of the first season.

The most exciting part for fans following the series is the mystery surrounding Siesta's return. After the events at the end of the first season, it is certain that the second season will delve deeper into our detective's past. We will continue to follow the developments closely; stay tuned for new trailers and announcements!
