Toho opened an official website for a sequel of the anime series adapting Paru Itagaki's Beastars manga on Wednesday. Studio Orange is returning from the previous seasons to produce the sequel.

The first season premiered in Fall 2019 on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block, followed by a second season in Winter 2021—each running for 12 episodes. Netflix began streaming the seasons worldwide last March and July 15, respectively.

Itagaki began drawing the psychological drama manga in Shounen Champion magazine in September 2016 and ended it last October. Akita Shoten published the 22nd and final volume on January 8.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in November 2018 and began publishing it the following July. The 13th volume shipped on Tuesday.

Synopsis (2nd Season)
Beastar"—a title awarded to beasts who prove their excellence through fighting inequality to unite carnivores and herbivores in an anthropomorphic animal society. Cherryton Academy has gone five years without one such leader. However, following the murder of an alpaca within the school boundaries, the growing tension between the different species poses a greater need for a Beastar to ensure peace and harmony.

When Louis, the prime candidate for this prestigious role, rejects the offer and leaves the academy, the student council declares to honor any student who captures the culprit of the aforementioned murder as Beastar. Meanwhile, Legoshi's sense of duty as a strong wolf who must protect the weak pushes him to investigate the incident. To further complicate his life, he struggles to manage his complex feelings for the white rabbit, Haru. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
