Although a lot of TV and streaming series have begun their production. The Outlander Season 6, on the other hand, is yet to resume their filming. The devoted fans are eagerly waiting to know how things would change after the dramatic last season finale. The show’s executive producer Maril Davis has recently disclosed the reason behind delaying such a popular series. Further, Maril revealed that shooting in such a pandemic condition is more like “luxury” for Starz’s The Outlander Season 6.

In the last season, many tragedies happened with the main protagonists. So many twists and turns that even fans heart came to their mouth. However, it was the series’ best season ever. The fifth season began with a positive note when everyone settled at Fraser’s Ridge, where Jamie and Claire’s daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) happily married. But, as you know, that Frasers never stay happy for long. So, as the season progressed, Stephen Bonnet (Ed Spelers) robbed the Frasers and raped Brianna. Meanwhile, Jamie wanted to hunt down his daughter, the rapist. In such a critical moment, Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy) and his men kidnapped Claire and brutally raped her in the end.

The Outlander Season 6: Production Might Take Some Time

According to Maril, it’s not simple and easy to go back on the set and begin filming for their sixth season. In fact, show’s stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan haven’t promised any start date for the sixth season. Well, it looks somewhat weird as other shows have already begun or wrapped up their production and are ready to air. However, Maril says that The Outlander Season 6 is facing some challenges to start filming in such a pandemic time.

Maril Disclosed The Biggest Hurdle They Are Facing Currently

Recently, the executive producer announced that it’s quite difficult for them to start filming. Since they need a lot of extra members on their set. And considering the current condition, it’s impossible to permit extras to work with them. Another major issue they are facing currently is the intense romance scenes between the show’s central characters. So, it’s quite difficult for them to begin filming amid this pandemic situation.

Would Resume When Everything Settled Down

Maril added that they would soon return to film their sixth season. However, it might take some time since they don’t have that kind of show, which is quite COVID-19 friendly. However, many shows are changing their way of filming and perhaps have that luxury to begin production. But, they currently don’t have that much equipment and methods to shoot Jamie and Claire kissing scenes and all.

It’s Difficult To Portray War Scene

Well, another major issue that Maril and The Outlanders are facing right now is the storyline. According to the book, there’s a war between America and Britain. In the past, Jamie received a part of the land from the Britain government, which is now in the middle of the conflict. But, if war takes place, then they need some extras to portray the scene.

They can not feature a few members involved in the war and maintaining social-distancing while fighting. It can’t happen as well! So, it’s one of the major issues that has been delaying The Outlander Season 6 filming. Further, they need an extra budget to shoot such a scene while following the health protocols.

The Last Kingdom Season 5 has already been renewed, while the fourth season of The Last Kingdom has been streaming on Netflix. It made fans more curious to know the continuing exploits of rivalry hero Uhtred of Bebbanburg (Alexander Dreymon).

However, the fifth season’s filming would run under the strict guidelines imposed by the Hollywood guilds. Recently, Nigel Merchant, the executive producer, said that they are proud to announce that they would continue entertaining the audience like this.

But the filming would undergo an eighteen-month production cycle, which could be extended considering the current situation. The news came up when the star cast announced it through a video on social media.

The Last Kingdom Season 5: How Things Would Settle Now?

Well, the final book portrayed the events of the never-ending battle where fans were curious to learn about Uhtred’s return with King Aetheslstan (Caspar Griffiths) taking the responsibility. Recently, Dreymon and Cornwell revealed how things would proceed as per the final book. However, the last book would be used to create the sixth season of this long-running historical series.

Uhtred Would Be Old Now

Cornwell revealed that in the upcoming season, Uhtred has become old and wiser. Now, he knows many things and has gained a lot of experience. But, Cornwell confirmed that he’s not talking about Alexander right now. He’s more interested in Uhtred, who is now of his age that is mid-70. He added when that he looks at Alexander, one thing that comes to his mind is that they have to add some grey beard and hair to make it more realistic.

Uhtred Would Face His Greatest Enemy

Well, the official synopsis for The Last Kingdom Season 5 says that Uhtred would face down his biggest and toughest enemy. Also, he would suffer the greatest loss while achieving his destiny. So, we can consider that the fifth season would contain more heartbreaking moments than ever.

New Enemies Would Rise

Uhtred’s goal to take back his kingdom might achieve in The Last Kingdom Season 5. But, now he has to face some new enemies. As new enemies are rising since he is getting his kingdom back, he has to go through the Bebbanburg where he might stand against Wessex for another war.

The Last Kingdom Season 5: Cast Details

Currently, no confirmation is there from the cast to reprise their role. But, it’s clear that Alexander Dreymon as Uhtred of Bebbanburg would return. However, Uhtred would go through some trauma in the fifth season. Along with him, Emily Cox as Uhtred’s childhood friend-turned-rival Brida would return. She last saw giving birth in the woods.

Adrian Schiller has already confirmed that he would return as the devious and cruel Aethelhelm. Surprisingly, The Last Kingdom Season 5 could see one major cameo with Ricky Gervais as last month he tweeted that soon he would be wearing like a Viking.

Finally, Slasher Season 4 returns. But, it’s unclear on which network. Well, Slasher had a tough time holding the position. As it has been the most underrated horror hits on the streamer. However, fans were curious to learn about the fourth season. Well, you can relax now as recently its production updates have revealed. Also, the official renewal of the show for its fourth chapter has disclosed.

The Canadian anthology horror series first debuted on Chiller in the US and Super Channel in CA. But, after that, Netflix picked the series for its second and third run. Since then, Slasher has banged Netflix. However, holding the position is quite tough now.

Slasher, created by Aaron Martin, is an anthology horror-drama series on Netflix. In the last season, Kit Jennings, a drug and sex addict, murdered using a “Druid” costume in front of his apartment. Surprisingly, his neighbors didn’t help him when someone killed him during the summer solstice. But, exactly a year later, a person with the same costume appears. Eventually, he starts killing those involved in Jennings murder or have some complicity in it.

Slasher Season 4: Has Been Suffering From License Issue

Last year, news came up that Kew Media Group, the distributor behind the series, got bankrupt. Thus, several shows titles departed from it, including Slasher. However, it eventually got reserved by someone whose details are still unknown. But, the best part is Slasher would continue with its title for the fourth run.

Will Netflix Bring The Fourth Season?

As far as we know, Netflix hasn’t listed the show since it has licensed out the show. Thus, it won’t be a part of Netflix Original branding. So, fans have to wait until the streamer officially announces any news regarding Slasher. However, initially, it was planned to release Slasher Season 4 in late 2021 on Netflix. But, now, things are quite complicated, as other movies or series of Slashers have currently been listed out from Netflix.

Further, Netflix hasn’t ordered Slasher Season 4 yet. Normally, Netflix takes a couple of months to decide the fate of the show. However, the license issue had made everything troublesome for the horror anthology series.

Slasher Season 4: How Things Would Go Now?

The last season ended with a jolting revelation regarding moral responsibility and righteousness. However, the fourth season would be quite different from it. But, it’s expected that the fourth season would follow or maintain some continuity to the third season.

Well, recently, the news came up that the next season would title, “Reunion.” However, its plot details haven’t disclosed yet. But, considering the title, it looks like that all the previous villains worked in the series would reunite in the fourth chapter. Perhaps a few of them would appear in Slasher Season 4.

Last year, during Anime NYC 2019, the makers officially announced Megalo Box Season 2. The news wasn’t surprising for the fans as they already knew it will arrive sooner or later. But the fans are definitely excited to see more of this anime. The inaugural season received a great response from the fans, and the critics also praised this series. If you’re a fan of this brilliant show, here’s everything you need to know about its upcoming installment.

Megalo Box is a Japanese action anime series. The creators announced this show on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the manga series Ashita no Joe. TMS Entertainment produced the anime series, which made its debut on April 6, 2018. It ran for thirteen episodes, with the last episode being aired on March 23, 2019. The last episode featured the final match of Megalonia.

Production & Renewal Details Of The Second Season!

The anime got a quick renewal for the creators after completing its debut season. In November 2019, TMS Entertainment revealed a teaser video in which they revealed that Megalo Box Season 2 is in development. They also revealed that there would be a gap of seven years between the events of the first and the second season. The production for its second season might go a little slower than usual because the studio is also busy with the production of Dr. Stone Season 2, which is already scheduled for early 2021. 

Megalo Box Season 2: Plot Details!

At the end of the debut season, a year after Junk Dog’s fateful match with Yuri, they announced a second Megalonia tournament. But being on the peak of the Megaloboxing world may not be exactly what he’d hoped it would be. It is also possible that “Gearless” Joe came under stress to build Gear of his own to defend the title. Junk Dog could also feel problems with the women since Yukiko Shirato was encouraged by Youko Shiraki. She was the dearest thing to a girlfriend to Joe.

Now in Megalo Box Season 2, Youko toys with his future like a beast in the way she plans Joe’s fights. Despite Joe’s restorative condition being wrong, she also assists him to push himself to the utmost in the match against Mendoza. The thing is, everyone understands they’re liked by each other, and they’re shown right when she understands she’s in love with Joe. TMS Entertainment won’t show it in the same way and will undoubtedly add some fresh elements to it. 

Megalo Box Season 2: Release Date

Unfortunately, when the creators announce the second season of this anime, they didn’t mention its release date. It’s been an entire year since TMS Entertainment began the production for the following installment. Therefore, fans won’t have to wait much longer now. It is likely that Megalo Box Season 2 will premiere in the first half of 2021. The makers will reveal its official release date anytime soon. 

It has been long since the fans last saw any episode of Outbreak Company, but the loyal fan following of this show is still waiting for Outbreak Company Season 2. When this anime made its debut, it caught the attention of the viewers mainly because of its unique plot. Plus, it also covered themes like social norms, invasion, and discrimination decently in its storyline. So will the fans ever see the second season of this anime? Here’s everything to know.

Outbreak Company is a Japanese anime series. It is a remake of the light novel series of the same title by Ichiro Sakaki. The anime series made its debut on October 3, 2013. It ran successfully for twelve episodes, and the last episode was aired on December 19 of the same year. The anime received a positive response from the fans as well as the critics. Despite that, the fans never get to see its second installment.

Outbreak Company Season 2: Renewal Status!

Feel Studios who is responsible for the animation of this anime series are pretty tight-lipped regarding the future of this show. They neither renewed nor canceled the series for its further installments. The fans all over the world are still waiting to hear from them. Outbreak Company Season 2 is still waiting for a green signal from its creators. However, after all these years, its chances of getting a renewal are very less. 

Do The Makers Have Enough Source Material?

One of the main concerns of the makers before renewing any anime series is the availability of its source material. Just like most of the shows, this one is also based on the light novel series. The first season of this anime adapted the first five chapters of the LN series. And the authors have published a total of 18 volumes so far, with the last one being released on August 2, 2017. Therefore, Feel Studios have more than enough source material to create Outbreak Company Season 2. They can even create two more installments of this anime with the remaining chapters of the LN series.

Will The Anime Ever Return?

Over the course of these seven years, the popularity of this anime has been decreased gradually. The fans also lost their hope, and with them, its demand also decreases. And these are definitely bad signs for the future of this show. The anime was made to promote the LN series. But the LN series was also concluded way back in 2017. Therefore it is likely that the fans won’t see Outbreak Season 2 anytime soon. 

Outbreak Company Season 2: Release Date

Since anything is possible in the anime world, therefore the fans can hope that Feel Studios to change their mind and revive the anime series. The fans would be really happy to see their favorite anime again. In that case, they can expect Outbreak Company Season 2 to release sometime in 2022 or later. 

Last year, the fans saw an epic finale of the ninth season of Fairy Tail, and now they are eagerly waiting to see Fairy Tail Season 10. Whenever we made a list of the greatest anime series, the name of Fairy Tail will always appear in it. It is one of the longest-running anime shows as well. No wonder why the fans are getting desperate to see more of it.

Fairy Tail is a Japanese anime series. The plot of this anime is adapted from the manga of the same name by Hiro Mashima. It made its debut on October 12, 2009. The inaugural received a great response, and then the series ran successfully throughout nine seasons. The latest season premiered on October 7, 2018, and ended on September 29, 2019. Ever since then, everyone is waiting for the tenth installment of this series. 

Fairy Tail Season 10: Renewal Status!

It seems like the fantasy and action-adventure anime series already reached its finish line. The makers of the show canceled the series after its ninth season. They even advertised the latest season as the final season. It was also ended with a proper conclusion and didn’t leave any loose end in the storyline. And all of these are undoubtedly bad signs for Fairy Tail Season 10. Otakus and weebs all around the globe are watching this anime for a decade. Therefore it is hard to say goodbye to it now. But for now, the current renewal status of the show is canceled. 

Do The Makers Have Enough Source Material?

The ninth season of the anime featured two arcs. The initial seven episodes resumed the Avatar arc from the previous season, which adapted the source material from the 49th to 51st volume of the manga. The last 44 episodes from the Alvarez arc, which features Natsu’s last fight with his opponents Zeref and Acnologia, adapted the source material from the 52nd to the final 63rd volume of the manga series. And that means the last season used all the available source material and left nothing for Fairy Tail Season 10. 

Will The Anime Ever Return?

Fairy Tail is immensely popular among the fans. By February 2020, the authors have sold more than 72 million copies of its manga. Plus, the anime series also received a tremendous response from the fans as well as the critics. Still, the chances of this show to return are very low. The authors already drained all the source material, and if they want to revive the anime, first, they have to create the plot for it. Keeping that in mind, they already showed the final battle if Natsu, they have to start from scratch. And Mashima definitely doesn’t want to change the perfect ending of the manga and the anime. So, it’s better to believe that the show ended with its ninth season.

Fairy Tail Season 10: Release Date

As we mentioned above, the creators concluded the series with its ninth season. And it’s impossible to predict the release date of the that doesn’t even exist. However, the authors have released a lot of side stories in this franchise. So it might be possible that instead of Fairy Tail Season 10, the fans will see a new Fairy Tail movie or some OVA episodes in the upcoming years. 

Last year, the fans saw the debut season finale of Arifureta, and right after it, the makers confirmed Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2. Last year, this anime premiered after many delays, and fans finally saw the awaited anime series. However, after its premiere, a lot of disputes have been raised between the manga readers and anime-only fans. 

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou, or simply known as Arifureta, is a Japanese Isekai harem anime series. It is an adaptation of the light novel series of the same name by Ryo Shirakome. The anime series made its debut on July 8, 2019. It ran for thirteen episodes, and the last episode released on October 7, 2019. The anime only fans loved the first set of episodes and are demanding for more. 

Renewal Status Of The Second Season!

There is a piece of great news for the fans. The makers of Arifureta renewed the series for its second season right after its first season finale. White Fox and Asread will collaborate once again to produce the new episodes of this Isekai anime. Along with Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2, the fans will also get two additional OVA episodes. The instant renewal is a great sign for the anime fans, and if the second season also performed well, the fans will certainly see more episodes of this anime. 

Production Status Of Arifureta Season 2!

The creators can make another story only with the troubles in the production of the debut season. The anime was originally supposed to debut in 2015, but because of various reasons, the makers have to postpone it. The anime was delayed for more than a year. It is because, the first key visual was heavily criticized by the fans. After that, Asread and White Fox joined forces for animating this anime series. The makers already revealed they began the production of Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2. And it seems like the partnership for animating the anime will stay for a little longer.

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2: Plot Details!

In the debut season of the anime, Hajime beat the demon and saved his classmates. Hajime’s classmate Kaori Shirasaki entered the party, and now it’s time to travel to seek out more complexities and see a way home to Earth. Hajime and his buddies go to Myu’s hometown, the coastal city of Erisen. While passing the Gruen Desert, they rescue a young Ankajian man from a sandworm attack. Hajime himself only wants Yue, and he is assigned to keeping a relationship with the vampire princess. Well, Yue has other plans, and she begins backing Hajime to get with the other girls as well. 

Now, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2 will pick up right after the ending of the first season. Unfortunately, the creators haven’t released the plot or dropped any hints on it. So we have to wait for a while to know the exact storyline of it. 

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2: Release Date

When the creators announced the second season of this Isekai anime, they haven’t announced its release date. But they already begin its production, and if everything goes well, the fans might see the premiere of Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Season 2 in the last quarter of 2021. 

It’s almost been six years since the fans last saw Madan No Ou to Vanadis, and now they are getting desperate to watch Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2. The fans quite rarely see any good multi-genre war based anime like this one. It features a really intriguing storyline in which the female warriors took center stage. So will there be a second season of this brilliant show? Here’s everything to know.

Madan No Ou to Vanadis, aka Lord Marksman and Vanadis, is a Japanese historical war anime series. The anime is the remake of the light novel series of the same title by Tsukasa Kawaguchi. It made its debut on October 4, 2014, and completed its run of thirteen episodes on December 27, 2014. Since then, everyone is waiting for the following installment of the anime.

Madan No Ou to Vanadis Season 2: Renewal Status!

The creators are pretty tight-lipped regarding the fate of this anime series. They haven’t renewed or canceled the show for its second season—no wonder why the fans are getting desperate to hear from them. The inaugural season was well-liked by the audience, and the critics also praised the series. Therefore everyone thought they’ll undoubtedly see Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2. However, it never happened, and they faced a hiatus instead. So, for now, the current renewal status of the series is canceled.

Is There Enough Source Material?

Just like most of the anime series Madan No Ou to Vanadis is also an adaptation of its source material, which is an LN series. Even the creators made this anime only with the sole purpose of promoting its source material. The debut season of this war-anime adapted the first five volumes of the LN series. And the authors have released a total of eighteen volumes of this LN so far. The last volume was published on November 25, 2017. So, the creators have all the source material they need to make Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2. They can even make two or three more installments of this anime with the remaining chapters of the LN.

Will The Anime Ever Return?

Currently, the chances are 50-50 for the return of this anime series. Over the course of the past six years, the popularity of this series has been decreased. And this will certainly affect the return of Madan No Ou to Vanadis. Plus, the creators made this anime only to promote its source material. And unfortunately, the authors released the last volume back in 2017, and that’s a terrible sign for the fans. The only positive things are the presence of source material and good reviews from the critics. But to be honest, at present, it is really difficult that the fans will see the second season of this war-anime. 

Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2: Plot Details!

The story of this anime took place in the fictional country of Brune in Europe and revolves around the fate of two fighting nations – Zhcted and Brune. Vanadis or the War Maidens are the leaders of the seven provinces where the country Zhcted is made. Elen, who is holding powerful dragon-carved weapons, warns war against Brune, teaming up with the other six Vanadis. The latter then swear loyalty to her. The two showed a strange alliance, but with time, they acted well together. 

Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2: Release Date

For watching the second season of this anime, first, we have to wait for its renewal. It is not likely, but if it happens in the upcoming months or years, then we’ll hear its announcement very soon. The fans might see Lord Marksman and Vanadis Season 2 by the end of 2022.  

The fans are eagerly waiting for Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2 ever since they binged its debut season. This Isekai anime blew the mind of its every single viewer when it aired last year. Now everyone is getting desperate to know about the events that will take place in its second season. The anime series developed a huge fan base in a very short period of time.

Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2: Renewal Status!

The makers of the anime series are yet to renew it for the second season. However, they haven’t canceled it as well. They are pretty tight-lipped regarding the fate of Wise Man’s Grandchild Season 2. The good thing is it’s only been a year, and the producers of the anime often take a lot more time before announcing the following season. So, for now, its renewal status is not clear, but it is likely that the creators will greenlit the anime for its second season very soon. 

Do The Makers Have Enough Source Material?

Just like most of the Isekai anime, this one is also an adaptation of its source material, which is an LN series. The plot of the anime followed the story of LN’s chapters. The debut season of the anime adapted the first three volumes of the LN. And the makers have released a total of twelve volumes so far, with the latest one being released on March 30, 2020. The viewers will see some more volumes in the future because it is still ongoing. And that means the makers have all the required source material to create Kenja No Mago Season 2. With that much source material, they can even make three more seasons of it. 

Will The Anime Ever Return?

The inaugural season of the anime received a great response from the otakus. Plus, the makers also released a mobile game to promote the content and boost the sales of its manga and LN series. The LN series is selling 14000-15000 copies at an average. It’s not good but not bad as well. So a little boost in the selling of these will certainly increase the chance of the second season of this anime. Currently, all the odds are in favor of the second season. If everything goes well, we might see it in the upcoming years. 

Kenja No Mago Season 2: Plot Details

The story of the anime revolves around a Japanese salaryman who died in an accident. He gets a different life and is reborn in another universe in the form of a baby. He gets chosen by Merlin Wolford, who happened to be a nationalist hero, who named him Shin. Apparently, Shin turns into a grandson of Merlin and adapts Merlin’s techniques.
