Vinland Saga Season 2: Release date, new animation studio, and trailer

Fans of Vinland Saga should be pleased to know that new details about the anime's Season 2 have recently been revealed. Most importantly, Season 2 has been confirmed to have a release date of January 10, 2023. The official site states:

"1月9日より毎週月曜日24:30～25:00放送""

A translation of that message essentially states that the anime will be broadcasted every Monday from 24:30 to 25:00, starting on January 9. People who aren't familiar with Japanese broadcast times should know that the listed timing is equivalent to the show beginning from 12:30 am to 1 am on January 10, 2023.

The first season began and ended in 2019, meaning that people who enjoyed the series never got a follow-up for nearly three years. Those interested in the new trailer can check it down below.

The most notable detail one will notice at the start of this trailer is that Studio MAPPA is working on Vinland Saga Season 2. Fans of the series might remember that Wit Studio worked on the first season. The opening theme is "River" by Anonymouz, which is played at 0:43 in the above trailer.

This YouTube video does have subtitles, so those who don't speak Japanese are recommended to turn it on. On a related note, there is currently no news related to an English Dub for this season.
