A reason for the delay was not revealed by either the production team or associated distribution partners but was likely related to the ongoing issues with production in Japan caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Rising of the Shield Hero’s first season was released in 2019, and Crunchyroll had announced that it will get seasons 2 and 3.

After a wait of two years, the second season is here, and I cannot wait to see more of Naofumi’s party in action as they journey to a new kingdom.
