Call of the Night confirms his expected second season in Hidive

Hidive has confirmed the second season of Call of the Night will premiere in July 2025 as part of Fuji TV’s Noitamine block, airing weekly at 5:30 p.m. (UTC+2) in Japan. The exclusive preview of the second episode will debut at Anime Expo 2025, offering fans a glimpse of the season’s darker, more entangled storyline.

New Cast and Production Details

• Rina Satō joins the cast as Kiku Hoshimi, a seductive vampire whose presence threatens to upend Mahiru’s loyalties and deepen the protagonist’s existential crisis.
• The production retains Liden Films’ signature blend of surreal visuals and psychological depth, with Creepy Nuts returning to soundtrack the nocturnal drama.

Manga and Anime Continuation

Though the manga concluded in January 2024, the anime’s second season extends the tale of Kō Yamori’s nocturnal wanderings, where vampiric allure and self-discovery collide. This season promises to amplify the series’ signature tension, blending supernatural romance with existential dread in a story that lingers long after the credits roll.

They’ll Tell You It’s Just Another Vampire Romance

They’ll tell you the second season of Call of the Night is just another vampire romance, but here’s the kicker: it’s a blood-soaked satire of how we dress up existential dread as ‘art’ while pretending to care about the poor.

Official Statement and Time Zone Notes

According to Hidive’s official statement (May 2025), the second season of *Call of the Night* will premiere on Fuji TV’s Noitamine block on 17 July 2025, Friday at 5:30 p.m. UTC+2. That’s a screaming 10 hours ahead of the UK, which means the first episode will be out of sync with our clocks by the time the tea’s gone cold. But hey, at least we’ll have the advantage of being able to mock the Japanese for their obsession with kawaii and kurosawa in equal measure.

Exclusive Advance at Anime Expo 2025

But wait… the real punchline is the exclusive advance of the second episode at Anime Expo 2025 on 5 July. A unique opportunity for fans to binge before the rest of us even know what’s happening. Like a sneak peek at the last supper—only this time, the host is a vampire with a penchant for saké and screaming.

Let’s Unpack This

Solving the mystery of Kiku Hoshimi’s arrival requires…

• A sudden injection of Rina Satō’s voice acting (because obviously the previous cast was too moe for the plot’s toxic dynamics).
• A new layer of tension between Mahiru and Kō Yamori, which is basically a soulmate subplot for people who hate soulmates.
• A deliciously ironic return of Creepy Nuts, who’ll be crooning about datenshi while the rest of us are stuck in a sloppy economic crisis.

Manga Ending vs. Anime Continuation

The manga ended in January 2024, but the anime? It’s like a sashimi—fresh, bloody, and sticking to your teeth. Kō Yamori’s journey from nobody to vampire is a masterclass in how to turn a sundae into a screaming metaphor for class mobility.

Real Vampires and the System

Here’s the thing: the real vampire here isn’t Nazuna Nanakusa. It’s the system that lets people like her exist while the rest of us are drowning in rent and regret. But don’t worry—Call of the Night won’t let you think too hard. It’ll just drown you in lyrics and lamb and lack of nuance.

In Conclusion

If you’re looking for a second season that actually critiques the status quo, you’ll be miserable. But if you’re just here for vampires, drama, and a touch of satire that’s soaked in irony, then hooray—you’ve got your fix.

Now go watch it… and don’t forget to sigh when the credits roll.
