The second season brings back the core voice cast, ensuring the return of the beloved characters fans know and love, along with some exciting new additions:

Plot Details and Speculation
While specific plot details remain scarce, New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt promises to retain the original’s absurd humor, vibrant animation, and Western cartoon influences like The Powerpuff Girls and Invader Zim. Set in Daten City, a chaotic realm between Heaven and Hell, the series follows the Anarchy Sisters, Panty and Stocking, as they battle sinister Ghosts—evil spirits fueled by human desires and resentment. Guided by the reverend Garterbelt, the sisters use their lingerie-turned-weapons to fight, all while indulging in their vices: Panty’s pursuit of men and Stocking’s obsession with sweets.
