Following the release of season 1 in 2021, fans were looking forward to the announcement of the second season.

Now, after a year has passed, the anime is set to conduct SK8 the Infinity ∞WEEK special event, which has been scheduled for Sunday, August 6, 2023.

The event will take place in National Theatre Okinawa and will begin at 4 pm JST. The main cast members of the anime - Tasuku Hatanaka (Reki Kyan) and Chiaki Kobayashi (Langa Hasegawa) will also be attending the event.

Considering the amount of time that has passed since studio BONES announced the second season and the OVA, fans believe that the upcoming special event will reveal some new information about both of them.

Considering that it is an original anime, there is no way for fans to know what happens next in the series. Thus, fans were left praying for the new season to be released soon.
