A teaser trailer for the second season of Goblin Slayer has been revealed along with details of the show’s main staff and new production studio as part of the GA FES 2023 with Danmachi 10th anniversary event. 

The trailer also revealed that the anime will premiere sometime this year. 

Unlike the first season, Goblin Slayer II is directed by Misato Takada (Saiyuki Reload Zeroin) with Hiromi Katou (ID-0) as character designer and LIDENFILMS as the animation production studio. The first season’s director Takaharu Ozaki is involved as chief director while series composer/scriptwriter Hideyuki Kurata and music composer Kenichirou Suehiro are reprising their roles

The previous season, which aired in 2018, as well as the 2020 OVA Goblin Slayer: Goblin’s Crown were produced by White Fox.

The Goblin Slayer anime is based on the light novels written by Kumo Kagyu and illustrated by Noboru Kannatsuki, which are published under SB Creative’s GA Bunko label. The light novels have inspired various spin-offs and manga.

Yen Press describes the light novel series as:

A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It’s the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue–a man who’s dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there’s no telling who might come calling next…

The anime’s cast includes Yuuichirou Umehara as Goblin Slayer, Yui Ogura as Priestess, Yuka Iguchi as Cow Girl, Maaya Uchida as Guild Girl, Nao Touyama as High Elf Archer, Yuuichi Nakamura as Dwarf Shaman, and Tomokazu Sugita as Lizard Priest.
