Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Unwanted Undead Adventurer season 1
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer was a star performer among the Winter 2024 anime releases. The first season captivated fans all around the world with its dark fantasy themes and now fans are eagerly awaiting what else lies on the horizon for Rentt Faina.
The anime debuted on Crunchyroll on Jan. 8, 2024, and finished airing its 12th episode on March 25, 2024. Being a single-cour anime, the first season of the anime has come to an end. So, when is it coming back?
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer season 1 recap
Adapted from the original light novel written by Yū Okano and illustrated by Jaian, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer first got a manga adaptation in Nov. 2017. The story focuses on Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old Bronze-class adventurer on a quest to achieve Existential Evolution. Faina’s lethal quest in a supposedly unexplored path in the Labyrinth of the Moon’s Reflection is the subject of the anime’s narrative.
The last episode 12 finally reveals Faina’s motivations to become a Mythril-class adventurer as it introduces a new character named Wilfried Ryukker, who saves Faina from the wolf monster. Fans also get insights into his childhood and the traumas that motivated him to become who he aspired to be. Listening to his story, Lorraine allows him to drink the blood, and Faina awakens to become sort of a vampire.
However, our hero has not reached Mythril class by the end of episode 12. This leaves the audience wondering whether a second season is on the way to continue and complete his story.
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer season 2 release date
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer season 2 has already been greenlit by the studio, according to the announcements made by its official X account and website. However, we don’t yet have a definitive release date. Given the popularity of the series, we have our fingers crossed that the studio might not want to wait too long before bringing Faina back to the screens.
This means The Unwanted Undead Adventurer season 2 may hit the screens anytime in Winter or Spring 2025. The first season adapted until the third volume of the original light novel series. So, fans can anticipate the animation of the fourth and fifth volumes in the second season. It will probably cover the Demon Lord’s Castle and Holy City arcs.
