The popular anime series, “The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior,” has officially been greenlit for a second season. The announcement, widely reported around June 29-30, 2025, confirms the continuation of Pride Royal Ivy’s story, much to the anticipation of fans.
The first season of the anime, produced by OLM, captivated audiences with its unique premise. It aired from July to September 2023, spanning 12 episodes, and was streamed by HIDIVE in select regions. The series adapts the well-received light novel series penned by Tenichi and illustrated by Suzunosuke, which tells the tale of a young girl reincarnated as the villainous last boss queen of an otome game, determined to defy her grim fate and save those around her.
While the confirmation of a second season has generated considerable excitement, specific details regarding its production remain largely under wraps. As of the announcement, the exact premiere date, additional staff members (beyond the original character designer Suzunosuke, who provided a celebratory illustration), or whether OLM will return as the animation studio, have not been disclosed. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates on the return of Princess Pride and her efforts to avert tragedy within her fantastical world.
