As of August 20, 2025, Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 has commenced its broadcast, but an Episode 17 for this season is not expected within its current announced run. The second season of the popular anime officially premiered on July 19, 2025.
Season 2 Episode Count and Schedule
The second season of Kaiju No. 8 is slated to have a total of 11 episodes. While some schedules might refer to a total of 12 episodes when including the special prequel episode, “Hoshina’s Day Off,” which aired on July 5, 2025, prior to the main season’s debut, the numbered episodes of Season 2 itself are expected to conclude at Episode 11. New episodes of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 are released weekly on Saturdays.
Given that the season is projected to have 11 or 12 episodes, reaching Episode 17 within Season 2’s planned broadcast is outside its confirmed episode count. For context, the first season of Kaiju No. 8 consisted of 12 episodes, airing from April to June 2024.
Fans can typically watch new episodes of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 on Crunchyroll, with episodes also airing on TV Tokyo in Japan. The season is anticipated to run from July to October 2025.
