Tokyo, Japan – The highly anticipated second season of the anime series Call of the Night officially premiered on Friday, July 4, 2025, bringing back the captivating nocturnal adventures of Ko Yamori and Nazuna Nanakusa. The series, known for its unique blend of supernatural romance, stylish visuals, and atmospheric city aesthetics, is now available for streaming on platforms such as Crunchyroll and HIDIVE, with new episodes releasing weekly.
A Return to the Night: What to Expect
Call of the Night Season 2 picks up directly where the first season left off, continuing the story of Ko Yamori, a disillusioned insomniac teenager, and the enigmatic vampire Nazuna Nanakusa.

The anime continues to adapt Kotoyama’s popular manga, which concluded in January 2024. Fans can expect the same “night and city vibes” and “dazzling use of color and light” that made the first season a hit, providing a visual feast for lovers of city pop and cyberpunk aesthetics.
