The Ramparts of Ice Season 2 Sets October 1 Premiere on Netflix

What was announced

The romance drama The Ramparts of Ice is getting a second season. Following the broadcast of the Season 1 finale, the show's official account announced that the new season will premiere on October 1, 2026, and released a teaser visual to mark the reveal. On July 3, the official Netflix Anime account confirmed that the second season will stream exclusively on Netflix worldwide, describing it as the point where "feelings deepen beyond friendship."

When and where to watch

According to the official announcement, Season 2 will air in Japan on Thursdays at 11:56 p.m. JST across TBS and its affiliated network of 28 stations, beginning October 1. Netflix's post confirms a simultaneous global rollout on the platform, the same home that carried the first season internationally, which means viewers outside Japan will not have to wait on a separate license to follow the continuation.

The teaser visual

The official teaser leans into the series' quiet tension: the four leads are framed with their gazes deliberately not meeting, which the show's account described as an unsettled, uneasy design. The image centers the ensemble at the heart of the story, the withdrawn Koyuki Hikawa, her longtime friend Miki Azumi, the persistent Minato Amamiya, and the easygoing Youta Hino.

Background

The first season of The Ramparts of Ice ran for 14 episodes beginning April 2, 2026, and streamed worldwide on Netflix. The drama follows Koyuki Hikawa, a high schooler weighed down by memories she cannot shake who keeps everyone at arm's length, until three schoolmates gradually draw her out of her shell. The anime is based on the web manga by Kocha Agasawa, which began as a digital webtoon before being serialized on Line Manga, per Anime News Network and Crunchyroll News. Those outlets also report that Studio KAI returns to produce, with the core creative staff and main cast reprising their roles for the continuation. The renewal arrives on the back of a busy stretch for the property: the first season's finale doubled as the launch pad for the announcement, and its cast and staff have publicly thanked viewers while pointing ahead to the fall return.
