The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch Sets July 5 Second Cour With New Opening and Ending Themes

What was announced

The official account for the television anime The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch released a third main promotional video on June 28, confirming that the series moves into its second cour on July 5. According to the official post, the new run airs in the Sunday 11:30 p.m. "Agaru Anime" block carried across the 28 stations of the CBC and TBS network.

The same announcement revealed two new theme songs for the upcoming episodes. The opening theme is "∞劣等星" performed by Nanawo Akari, and the ending theme is "Twilight Magic" by Shoko Nakagawa. The promotional video previews footage from the next stretch of episodes alongside the new music.

What we know

The adaptation, produced by studio LIDENFILMS, has been airing since April 12, 2026. Its first stretch of episodes used a different pair of theme songs, so the July update marks a fresh opening and ending for the show's second half rather than a brand new series. The clip is the third main PV the production has put out so far, following the visuals released around the show's April debut.

The official post did not attach an episode count for the new cour, and it added no streaming details beyond the existing broadcast. No further casting or staff news was part of this update, and a separate home-video or international plan was not mentioned. For now, the concrete additions are the July 5 date, the two new theme songs, and the new footage in the PV.
