The official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. (The Detective Is Already Dead) anime series announced on Sunday that the second season will be postponed to October 2026 due to production circumstances. The second season was scheduled to premiere in July 2026.

Manabu Kurihara (Tokyo Ghoul animation director) is helming the second season at ENGI. Deko Akao (Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou.) is handling the series composition and Yousuke Itou (Ousama Game The Animation) is designing the characters.

Produced by ENGI, the first season aired in 12 episodes in Summer 2021. Crunchyroll streamed the anime with subtitles and dubs in multiple languages.

The anime adapts Nigojuu's mystery romance novel which began on Kakoyomu platform in October 2019. Kadokawa began publishing the novel under its MF Bunko J imprint with illustrations by Umibouzu in November that year and published the 13th volume in July 2025. Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. has over 1 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

@Boazanian I haven't read the original LN, but when I tried to watch the show and didn't understand anything in the first episode, some people told me it was a bad adaptation.

@RobertBobert i remember a lot of hype for S1 died down bcuz animation got worse and worse. And yeah story was pretty bad itself, mightve been a script issue but honestly it probably was just how terrible the author wrote the story itself

@Boazanian I heard that the first season was accused of script problems, but I didn't know that they had any technical problems too.

Nah man, just cancel the anime at this point. Highly likely there is a bunch of production issues again if they have to delay

(we are not forgetting that PNG car, no matter what)

I won't complain. Gives me more time to get around to rewatching the first season.
