Parasyte Season 2: Release Info, Rumors, Updates

Fall 2014 blessed us all with the amazingly terrifying Parasyte the Maxim. It has been six years since Season 1 ended, and yet, fans are still hanging onto the hopes of getting Season 2 of the show. The anime was adapted from a serialized manga back in the ’90s, blowing everyone away with its uniquely unsettling and binge-worthy premise.

The story of Parasyte revolves around Shinichi Izumi, an average high schooler, living peacefully with his parents until one day earth gets attacked by strange aliens called “Parasytes.” These peculiar aliens slip into human brains and take over the whole body to devour all the flesh. One such Parasyte crawls inside Shinichi’s arm while he was asleep like some kind of terrible nightmare.

However, Shinichi wakes up and confides the Parasyte to his arm, which is also problematic as the creature turns into a grotesque abomination at its will. The story progresses where Shinichi struggles with the alien in his arm as the world around him changes.

Parasyte is not made for the fainthearted so if you consider yourself to have a heart of steel, go ahead and check this anime out.

1. Release Date

Parasyte the Maxim Season 2 is yet to be announced. The show ended back in 2014 and, due to the lack of source material, hasn’t been renewed yet. If the anime gets a green signal, we expect it to be out by Fall 2022 or Winter 2023.

Since the manga has ended and has wholly been adapted by the anime, the chances of Season 1 are meager. However, after Netflix started streaming the anime, many suspect that there might be an anime original Season 2 to Parasyte if it does well on the platform.

2. What To Expect From Season 2

Season 1 of Parasyte adapted all the material from the original manga, and hence there is nothing left for Season 2.

Many fans believe that the last episode hints at the probability of many parasytes remaining in the world. This could have happened after they learn how to co-exist with humans. Shinichi and Migi’s adventures were over as Migi had perpetually fallen into slumber.

Season 2 could depict how the existence of some parasytes changed the course of human evolution and how the new generation was born with unique abilities. Another possibility could be how humans rebuilt their society again, only to be attacked by some other galactic organism.

3. About Parasyte

Parasyte is a manga of the sci-fi, horror, and psychological genre, which is even grim at times. The story is about a certain species of a parasite-like alien creature that needs a human host to survive.

These creatures also slowly consume the host. But once they have taken over a human body, they can wreak havoc by manifesting ghastly features like blades, demon-wings, huge teeth, etc.

The life of a high school boy, Shinichi, changes as his right hand is taken over by one such parasite named Migi. But Shinichi fights for control over his own body and tries to save the world from being thrown into utter chaos.

The portrayal of the battle scenes and the conflicts between humans and aliens is very graphically represented. And this seems to attract the horror enthusiast amongst us.
