The second season of The Misfit of Demon King Academy was taken off air in Japan earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on anime production, but now it’s finally ready to return. The official accounts announced that the series will return on July 8, and even though it made it through about half of its season the first time around, it will be starting over again with the first episode of The Misfit of Demon King Academy II.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy is based on a series of light novels by Shu, and also has a manga adaptation. The first season of the anime ran from July to September of 2020.

The second season has the cast and staff back in their respective roles, minus Tatsuhisa Suzuki, who was replaced by Yuichiro Umehara.

Crunchyroll currently streams the series and describes it like so:

Anos Voldigord was a tyrannical Demon King that eradicated humans, spirits, and even the gods, but became bored of eternal warfare and reincarnated with dreams of a peaceful world. However, what awaited him in reincarnation after 2000 years were descendants who became too weak after being accustomed to peace, and all sorts of magic that deteriorated to the extreme.

Anos enters Demon King Academy that gathers and educates those who are viewed as the reincarnation of the Demon King, but the academy could not see through his true powers and ends up branding him as a misfit.
