Hey Siesta fans… or maybe you’re more of a Kimizuka or Nagisa Natsunagi supporter — either way, I’ve got amazing news for you!

We’re finally getting Season 2 of The Detective Is Already Dead! Yes, it’s official now — Studio ENGI is returning to bring the next chapter to life.
The title alone was always a haunting spoiler… but what unfolded across those 12 episodes became something much deeper: a raw blend of action, mystery, sci-fi, and unforgettable loss.

And now, after almost four years, the long-awaited news — the one many had nearly given up hope on — has finally arrived.

Season 2 is officially set to arrive next year, marking the long-awaited return of a mystery that never left our hearts.

For Those Who’ve Forgotten… or Never Watched

If you’ve forgotten — or maybe never watched it at all — let me give you a spoiler-light summary of what this story is all about.

At its heart, The Detective Is Already Dead follows Kimihiko Kimizuka, a high school student who, by complete chaos (and a bit of fate), ends up becoming the assistant to a legendary detective known as Siesta.

Yes — the title already spoils it.
Siesta is dead.
And yet… somehow, she never really disappears.

As I mentioned earlier, the anime revolves around Kimizuka and the now-deceased Siesta.
In the very first episode, our MC gets caught in a kidnapping — or rather, you could say, he’s forced into something way beyond his control.
He ends up on a hijacked plane (yes, seriously), and somehow — in the most chaotic way possible — meets Siesta, the legendary detective.
What follows next? Pure adrenaline.
Action-packed from the first episode, and trust me — you’ll love it.

I know some of you haven’t seen this anime yet. But if you haven’t — and you’re reading this — that already means you’re someone with taste.
So take this as a sign:
Go watch it.
You’re about to uncover a mystery that’s anything but ordinary.

It’s a world of underground organizations, cloned identities, humanoids, and biological weapons.
It’s the kind of messy, mysterious, emotionally twisted story that fans still debate — like a math puzzle full of missing pieces.

Some people loved it. Some criticized it.
But no one ever called it forgettable.

And at the center of it all… was her.

Siesta.
Mysterious. Brilliant. Beautiful.
And gone far too soon.

…Or was she?

She died long ago… and yet, we never stopped hearing her voice.

For those who don’t know — let me take you back.
Season 1 of The Detective Is Already Dead ended on September 26, 2021.
And just after that… whispers began.

The fanbase — loyal, emotional, and still mourning Siesta — had only one question in mind:
“Will there ever be a Season 2?”

It didn’t take long for confirmation to arrive. The sequel was announced not long after the finale. Hopes surged.
But then… silence.

Studio ENGI revealed a teaser visual in July 2022, promising that the story would continue.
But as months passed, with no clear updates, fans began to wonder — Was this another ghost case?
We’ve waited for nearly four years, holding on to theories, rereading light novels, and replaying the soundtrack that still haunts late-night playlists.

And finally —
The case reopens… and it’s officially set for release in 2025.

The Case Reopens: What Season 2 Promises

The second season was officially announced through a teaser visual and a short PV (promotional video). While there’s no confirmed release date yet, the project is already in production — meaning 2025 finally be the year this story continues.

Studio: officially confirmed ENGI is returning.
Voice cast: Most likely the original cast will return, including Saki Miyashita as Siesta and Shin Nagai as Kimihiko.
Adaptation Arc: The upcoming season is expected to adapt Volumes 3 and 4 of the light novel — where the mystery deepens, and the past begins to unravel in unexpected ways.
Well, I don’t have full confirmation yet, so I can’t say for sure if they’ll stick closely to the novels — but that’s what the current speculation points to.

Why Season 2 Matters: More Than a Sequel — It’s a Second Chance

Even with its flaws, Season 1 did something few anime dare to do — it fearlessly mixed genres.
It played with time, memory, and identity.
And in the end, it left us with a lingering question:
What if she’s not really gone?

(To be honest… I’m still hoping she’s not.)

There are still so many unanswered questions — and that’s exactly why this sequel matters.
At least to me.
Maybe to you too.

Even though Siesta is already dead, we want to see more of her.
We need to.
Because even now, the entire story still revolves around her.
Even in death, she knows everything. She’s the axis the world spins on.

That emotional hook — that desperate hope — is what kept fans clinging to this story long after the credits rolled.
Season 2 isn’t just a continuation.
It’s a second chance to explore unanswered questions, unhealed wounds, and unsolved mysteries.

Final Thoughts: The End Was Just the Beginning

Whether you loved or hated Season 1, The Detective Is Already Dead left a permanent mark. It dared to be different. It told a story that began with an ending — and now, somehow, it’s continuing with a new beginning.

As we wait for more updates, one thing is certain:
And yeah, I know — it sounds like a movie line.
But honestly? It fits.
Siesta may be dead… but her story is far from over.

Well, I hope you liked this blog!
