The Detective is already Dead Season 2 Release Date

The series hasn’t performed so well which might prove to be a hurdle in the renewal of the series for the second season. But since the series do have fans who are asking for the second season so makers may work on the same. There is no doubt that the light novel series is performing very well so it would be unfair to say that there can’t be a second season.

The Detective is already Dead Season 2 Plot

Before getting into the things that are expected to happen in the second season, if it happens, let’s take a quick recap of the end of “The Detective is Already Dead Season 1”.

In the mysterious finale episode of season 1, we saw that the legendary detective Siesta shockingly comes back to rescue her sidekick. In the great face-off with Chameleon, her attention takes the body of Nagisa Natsunagi under her control to beat the opponent finally for good.

Although she then clears it to Kimihiko that she won’t be coming back to protect him again as it may prove to be a considerable obstacle in the way of the development of Nagisa as a new fabulous detective.

In the end, she confessed her love for Kimihiko and accepted that she has feelings for her sidekick. 

After considering the ending we expect that season 2 will explore their story further as they both have a strange combined past. Multiple illustrations were being shown which indicates that Siesta may have known Nagisa in history.

But the series never clearly explained how she knew Nagisa and we may expect that the second season will put light on the same. We hope that the team announces something soon positively.

Conclusion

There are a lot of speculations regarding the production of the anime series which can be a threat to the renewal of the same but let’s stay positive and expect some affirmative news soon from Studio ENGI or any other crew member.
