My Dress-Up Darling season 2 release date speculation: How long do we think we'll be waiting to see Marin and Gojo back on Crunchyroll

We've been waiting two years since season one but it looks like CloverWorks has bitten off a bit more than they expected.

The waiting, as they say, is the hardest part, so we can forgive anime fans for being a bit impatient at times. It has been more than two years since the first season of the My Dress-Up Darling anime aired, ending on a massive cliffhanger that desperately needs to be resolved. My Dress-Up Darling season two was confirmed in September 2022, but we’re still waiting for an actual release date to be announced.

That’s right; as of right now, there is still no release date for My Dress-Up Darling season two, which is frustrating considering how popular the first season was. It was one of the biggest anime of 2022, so a follow-up seemed like it would be coming soon. However, aside from CloverWorks confirming that it was in production, there hasn’t been any public announcement about the second season of My Dress-Up Darling.

Why the long delay? We can’t be sure, but it could have something to do with creator Shinichi Fukuda’s slow pace of publication. Their schedule has dropped from every two weeks to monthly, with occasional hiatuses mixed in. The wait for season two of My Dress-Up Darling could also be down to how busy the animation studio has become. Since season one aired, CloverWorks has produced seven feature films and 10 seasons of anime, which is a pretty intense pace.

CloverWorks may not have foreseen My Dress-Up Darling being the huge success it is and committed to other projects, assuming the demand for season two wouldn’t be as high. We’re sure they’ll eventually find time to give us more of Marin and Gojo between producing hit shows like Windbreaker, Spy x Family, and The Elusive Samurai, right? 

At this point, we'll be lucky to get a season two at all, but we wouldn't expect to see it now until at least late 2025. More likely, My Dress-Up Darling season two will come out in 2026, four years after season one. At least that was enough time for Marin and Gojo to finally get together in the manga.
