Okay, fellow Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian fans, can we just talk about how awesome that first season was? Alya’s sneaky Russian confessions, Masachika’s chill vibes, and all the student council drama had me glued to my screen. And now, Season 2 is officially happening! Kadokawa dropped the news right after the Season 1 finale.

In this article, we dive into the latest release date rumors, cast updates, and what fans can expect from the upcoming season, all while keeping you informed with the most recent details.

When Will Season 2 Hit Screens?

Kadokawa dropped the big news after the Season 1 finale on September 18, 2024: Season 2 is in the works! But, as is typical with anime, they’ve kept quiet about an exact release date. The lack of specifics hasn’t stopped fans from guessing, though. Based on how long it usually takes to produce a second season, especially with Doga Kobo’s knack for polished animation, we’re likely looking at a premiere sometime in late 2025 or maybe early 2026. That’s just a hunch, mind you, drawn from how anime studios operate.

For the latest updates, keep an eye on the official Alya X account (@roshidere) or the anime’s website. They’ll likely share a trailer or release date announcement when the time’s right. Until then, we’re all just eagerly waiting to see what’s next.

Who’s Coming Back? Cast Updates

No official word on the Season 2 cast yet, but swapping out the main voice actors after Season 1’s success would be wild. Those performances brought Alya, Masachika, and the crew to life, so expect the same voices to return. Here’s who’s likely coming back:

  • Sumire Uesaka as Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou (Alya), the half-Russian, half-Japanese star who hides her crush in Russian whispers.

  • Kohei Amasaki as Masachika Kuze, the chill guy who gets Alya’s secret messages and maybe feels the same.

  • Wakana Maruoka as Yuki Suou, Masachika’s scheming sister who keeps things spicy.

  • Yukiyo Fujii as Maria Mikhailovna Kujou (Masha), Alya’s older sister with a mysterious link to Masachika.

  • Saya Aizawa as Ayano Kimishima, Yuki’s loyal sidekick who’s quietly stealing hearts.

Online chatter, especially on Reddit, hints at new characters joining the fray, since the next arc introduces fresh faces. No clue on new voice actors yet, but any additions would only amp up the drama at Seiren Private Academy. The core cast’s chemistry was gold, so fingers crossed they’re all back.

What’s the Story for Season 2?

So, what’s in store for Season 2? The first season wrapped up the student council election arc from the light novels, so Season 2 will likely kick off with Volume 4’s Summer Vacation arc. According to the original author, SunSunSun, this arc takes Alya, Masachika, and the gang out of the classroom for some sunny adventures. Think beach trips, festivals, and all the rom-com chaos that comes with a summer setting.
