Dark Gathering Season 2 Confirms 2027 Broadcast

Dark Gathering Season 2 will broadcast in Japan in 2027, the anime's official website has confirmed. The announcement gives the supernatural horror sequel its first firm release window, while a precise premiere date, broadcaster, and international streaming plan have not yet been published.

What the 2027 window confirms

The new timing places the sequel on Japan's 2027 television calendar. The official on-air page now gives Season 2 its own entry, marked for broadcast that year, above a separate section covering the first season. That distinction is important because the subscription and rental services shown farther down the page apply to Season 1, not automatically to the upcoming episodes.

A new horror visual accompanied the broadcast-window announcement. It features the Spirit of A Dam, tying the promotional update to one of the dangerous supernatural presences associated with the series. The visual and the dated on-air listing together make this a scheduling update rather than another general confirmation that the sequel remains in production.

For viewers tracking the continuation, 2027 is now the key confirmed milestone. It gives the project a defined broadcast year and establishes that the next animated chapter is being prepared for Japanese television. The announcement now serves as the baseline for future promotion.

Who is making Season 2

The anime's official staff page lists Hiroshi Ikehata as director and Shigeru Murakoshi in charge of series composition. Yuri Ichinose is credited with character design, and OLM is named as the animation studio. The page also credits Kenichi Kondo for the original manga, serialized by Shueisha in Jump SQ.

The listed principal cast includes Yu Sasahara as Yayoi Hozuki, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Keitaro Gentoga, Kana Hanazawa as Eiko Hozuki, and Rina Kawaguchi as Ai Kamiyo. Yoshihiro Nakamura is credited as narrator. Those names cover the central group around which the series' occult investigations and confrontations with dangerous spirits are built.

Dark Gathering follows Keitaro, whose sensitivity to spirits draws him into supernatural danger, and Yayoi, a gifted young occult investigator pursuing powerful ghosts. Keitaro begins the story trying to rejoin ordinary life through university and tutoring, only to discover that his young pupil actively hunts spirits. Yayoi's search is driven by the ghost that took her mother. Eiko and Ai are also closely connected to the escalating paranormal incidents.

Season 2 now has a confirmed 2027 Japanese broadcast window, a new horror visual, OLM on animation production, and the core staff and cast listed by the official project. The 2027 broadcast is the production's next confirmed milestone after the sequel's earlier announcement.
