In early July 2026, the second season of the anime *Black Clover* was introduced with a trailer that revealed a new opening theme performed by the band WANIMA.

Later in July, the series' director Ayataka Tanemura disclosed that Studio Pierrot has secured a larger budget and a more generous production schedule for the season. These resources will enable higher‑quality animation, particularly for magic and fight sequences, and allow fewer episodes with more time per episode. The season is scheduled to debut in the fall of 2026, with an expected October release on Crunchyroll.
