The second cours will premiere in Japan on April 12.
The first cours of the anime's second season premiered in January 2023. Episodes 7 and beyond of the anime were delayed due to the impact of the increase in COVID-19 infections on its production schedule. The sequel anime then restarted its broadcast in July 2023. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the anime in January 2023, and restarted its airing alongside the Japanese restart in July 2023.
Shin Oonuma (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, A Sister's All You Need) is returning as the chief director for the anime, and Masafumi Tamura (Two Car, Wise Man's Grandchild) is returning as the director. SILVER LINK is again producing the animation. Kazuyuki Yamayoshi (Chaos;Child) is again adapting Yoshinori Shizuma's original character designs for animation. Jin Tanaka (Laid-Back Camp) is again in charge of series scripts. Ryousuke Naya is again the sound director, and Keiji Inai is returning to compose the music.
The anime's first season premiered in July 2020. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the anime as it aired in Japan.
The anime is based on Shu's The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants (Maō Gakuin no Futekigōsha ~Shijō Saikyō no Maō no Shiso, Tensei Shite Shison-tachi no Gakkō e Kayō) light novel series.
Shu launched the novel series on the Shōsetsu ni Narō website in April 2017.
