It may have taken a while for "The Rising of the Shield Hero's" release date to be fully revealed, but it certainly didn't take long for a Season 2 or 3 confirmation. As Anime News Network reported, during the panel for the series at Crunchyroll Expo 2019, it was confirmed that Seasons 2 and 3 of the anime series were coming, but there were no dates given at the time for either season. Then the following year at Crunchyroll's 2020 Virtual Expo, it was announced that Season 2 would be coming sometime in 2021.
Finally, in March of this year, the release date window narrowed even more thanks to the "Kadokawa Expo 2020," which revealed that Season 2 is slated for release in October 2021. Although a specific date in the month wasn't given, the October release was further confirmed thanks to a follow-up tweet from Crunchyroll who will be streaming the series in the U.S. as they did with Season 1. Unfortunately, subsequent to that update, news dropped that Season 2 had slipped to 2022, leaving fans fuming. As of July 2021, that was the latest.
