Trapped in a Dating Sim Season 2 Premieres July 8 on Crunchyroll

After almost four years away, Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs is finally getting its second season. Crunchyroll confirmed that Season 2 premieres on July 8, 2026, and will stream on the platform as the episodes air. Watch the Season 2 trailer.

When and where to watch

Season 2 begins July 8, 2026. Crunchyroll, which streamed the first season with an English dub, is carrying the new season internationally. The premiere arrives nearly four years after the first season finished its run, one of the longer gaps between seasons for a recent isekai comedy.

What the show is about

An ordinary office worker is reincarnated as Leon into a punishing dating sim where women reign supreme and only beautiful men have a seat at the table. His secret weapon is that he remembers everything from his past life, including a full playthrough of the very game he is now trapped in. Leon uses that knowledge to spark a revolution and chase his real goal: a quiet, easy life in the countryside.

New season, new staff

According to series coverage, Kazuya Miura returns to direct Season 2 at studio ENGI, this time on his own after co-directing the first season, with Kenta Ihara on series scripts and Masahiko Suzuki as character designer. Yui Ogura has joined the cast as a new character. The series is based on Yomu Mishima's light novels, which concluded with their 13th volume in 2024.
